Recently, I'd bought an iphone-lookalike memo pad for $1.50 on one of my favourite online buy-sell platform, and received it 3 days later. Sglady.com has maintained its good reputation in handling and delivery speed, however, its packaging method really has to improve. None of my purchases were bubble-wrapped or protected in plastic, so most of my items came dented in paper envelops that couldn't keep the rainwater out (Singpost delivery staff hadn't been very meticulous in avoiding the rain. Imagine my horror when I opened up the mailbox to witness a pile of semi-wet envelops). To be fair, I do not expect bubble-wraps for $1.50 items but at least wrap the poor box up. There was a time when I had bought more than $50 worth of items, but there was no bubble-wrap. Oh, I returned the $50+ items since I did not find them suitable and some had defects. I hope Sglady.com wouldn't hold a grudge for that, and definitely wish that that incident wasn't the reason why it hadn't been packaging my items well and not providing me with decent quality items!
Alright back to the product, the box was dented due to rough handling and poor packaging, and there were dark stains at some corners.
To illustrate that the box was slightly yellowed, I had placed it on a white paper for comparison as well.
Measuring 11.6X6.3 cm, the memo or sticky note as I would prefer to call it, was of standard paper quality albeit slightly rough in my opinion. I wasn't not really sure of the tackiness of the glue though.
When I was looking at the credits on box (right) and sticky note itself (left), I was flummoxed. Take a look:
So the manufacturer wasn't really sure if the product was made in China, or Korea? And couldn't decide to use an appropriate box with an image similar to its product? Oh come on, Sglady.com should really take pride in the items that it get from its manufacturers and look into this issue of conflicting data. After all, a confused customer is a dissatisfied (or perhaps angry) customer.
This is definitely not a present you would wish to give to your friends, unless they wouldn't mind. Remember the old adage "it's the thought that counts?"
