This is for those (girls) who dig gladiators and/or oxfords but didn’t manage to own one.

There’s a thread in the forum selling shoes. Particularly, gladiators and oxfords. And of course along with other types of shoes.

It’s a pre-order thread. You’ll come across these quite often in forums.

This is how it works:

1. Find out what you like

Take your time to surf the thread. Sometimes they provide external links to a photo album that has all the available items selling.

Don’t forget to read the thread carefully regarding the terms and conditions.

2. Place your orders

If you found something that you like and are sure of getting it, place your orders by replying the thread.

You may also send the seller a private message. Some sellers don’t accept private messages because their inbox are loaded with incoming messages (i can imagine) so it’s easier for them to reply via the forum thread.

3. Wait for the seller’s reply

Relax, they will reply you. All you gotta do is just check the thread or your inbox for the seller’s reply.

Once you’re all set, the seller will fill you in with the payment details.

4. Pay up

The payment method varies from seller to seller. Some sellers only ask for deposit, while some ask for full payment.

One thing’s for sure is that they will send you their bank account details and all you gotta do is transfer the money to the seller and notify them after the transaction is done.

5. Wait for them goodies

Note that this is a PRE-ORDER.

Pre-order items are from the overseas, so it takes a while for them to arrive. Maybe in 2 weeks, or maybe even in a month or so.

So if you’re NOT patient, DON’T buy items from pre-order threads.

Here are some of the goods that this seller has to offer.

There’s more in the thread. Once again i ain’t gonna spoon feed you guys.

Now i know some of you might be a little skeptical about pre-ordering.

Are the sellers reliable?
Will they take our money and run?
Is the quality of the items good?
What if the goods don’t arrive?

Well..

Yes they are reliable. I only trust successful pre-order threads. Which means the seller has been doing this for a long time. You can tell by the number of batches they have done.

No, they won’t take your money and run. As long as you buy from the right thread. Avoid dodgy ones.

I can tell you can find some of the items selling here at other places like shopping malls. Quality is most likely good. If not, you can always inquire from the seller regarding the material of the item.

If the goods don’t arrive in time like what the seller said, contact the seller asap. If there are complications with the orders, the seller will offer a refund.

Hope that answered most of your questions.

And of course, there are more pre-orders in the forum. Bags, shoes, clothes. But that’s up to you to find them :)

ALWAYS ALWAYS remember to read carefully before inquiring and/or placing your orders. It’s not anyone’s fault if you get fucked for not reading the terms and conditions properly.

And always think twice before placing your orders. Cause back outs are such a turn off.
