Buying online sometimes *peeps* me out!

Hope you have had a good weekend? I think I never wrote a negative email before in my blogging history, but I need to clear my hear as I am a bit dissapointed buying things online. It all started with 2 ceramic white stools, wich I can not find anywhere here in Spain and I needed them for a project, so decided to buy them from overseas. These beauties are not cheap especially shippingcosts with DHL are expensive as they are big and weight a lot. The company I bought them from are specialized in shipping overseas, so you guessed they know how to pack their stuff right. I bought 2 and they arrived broken, shattered into pieces like a puzzle.

this is what I had delivered.

white gardenstools...how they should be

Then I wanted to order baby birth announcement cards, I signed up, choose my design, uploaded the picture and all this takes time...then headed for check out...and error. No way being able to order them grrr

I think if you have a online shop this should not be possible. You have to make it as easy as possible for a client to buy what he wants.

I wanted to buy 2 friend bracelets, tried to order them via the facebook site to get a good deal, I even had to LIKE the site before i was able to buy and again before checkout it hit error, over and over again. Then I contacted them by email, got an answer that yes I was able to buy them, I was awaiting an paypal invoice. When I logged in to pay, the invoice was cancelled due to a student project that was finished, eventhough I am trying to buy these things online since a few days already. Come on people give me a break. I am doing my best to be a cusomer and you are giving me a hard time here. There must be some buy online curse on me. So no more buying online any more...I return to the stores for some good old SERVICE that I am missing a lot. I hope all these things get solved, if so I will keep you up to date.

Do you have suffered bad buying online experiences?

Bimba & Lola

Thank you for being patient with me, it´s been a hectic but lovely time, getting to know Matteo´s little caracter. I have been warned that being parents of a newborn is hard work, and we were ready but it´s indeed exhausting as I breastfeed. My dad came over for a few days and he was in love with his little grandson.

As i do not want to turn this blog in to a baby blog, I want to focuse on writing about what i love doing.
Today I wanted to dedicate this post about a Spanish shop called Bimba and Lola, wich for me is one of my most favorite and they have shops in many citys and department stores in Spain.
They have shoes, bags, jewelry and clothes.

New girl in the ring - Magpiece

If you are looking for a fashionable and affordable gift or do you want to spoil yourself with some cute jewelry, have a look at MAGPIECE. Especially with the change of season, as we change our outfits we need some new bling to match our wardrobe.

Magpiece is a new online jewelry store based in Holland but ships worldwide, I just ordered some pieces myself. They offer earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces and more to come.

The owner of Magpiece is Engeline. She started her company recently after having enough of working in the hard corporate world, and wanted to follow her dream, being a business owner.

She told me since she started the Magpiece company, she has been happier than ever, making a jump of joy with every order, doing her best to pack the item as pretty as possible to make it feel as receiving a present. Engeline travels to many countries to establish a nice collection that you can buy online now.
