Last week, I ordered some tops from LaRedoute.com because of their 1-cent sale. People said that those won't come and those are just price mistakes. But I kept my finger crossed. I ordered twice. The first order was 21 tops for 21 cents with free shipping! I made the second order 2 days later because they have new stuffs on sale, so I got 16 tops for 16 cents also with free shipping! I kept checking my order status waiting for either a cancellation or a shipping confirmation. I didn't get my order confirmation through email at first and so I thought it was canceled. But, stupid me, I entered the wrong email address to send the confirmation email. A little bit of hope because other people in the forums said they got their confirmation 10 minutes after placing their orders. The next day, people complained that their orders were missing from their account page. I quickly checked mine and yes, they're gone. I was a little upset, but hey, 1-cent tops, that's not possible, right? Especially with the free shipping! Shipping those tops itself will cost more than what we paid. Several hours later, people started talking about some of their orders are shipped. The orders that were gone from their page were back and the status changed to 'shipped'! Again, I checked mine and yes, it changed to 'shipped' now! Wow, I was so surprised. They even gave us UPS tracking number. I checked it and it says "DELIVERED"!!!!!! Since I put my purdue address for the shipping info, I didn't know if the stuff was actually delivered or not. To make sure, I asked my cousin if there's any package for me. And he said yes! He said the UPS guy has just left a minute ago. I was sooooo happyyyyy!!! I've never thought those 1-cent tops will actually be delivered.
I was back to Purdue last night and my package was in my room. Quite a big package I might say. I opened it and there they were. 16 tops wrapped individually! 5 of them were out of stock, but I'm already happy with what I've got. The tops are just an OK quality. I like some of those and some look cheap. But well, I can't complain! 16 cents for 20 tops! Yes, 20! Because there are 2 of those that were 1 cent for 3 tops =) I got 10 and my sister got 10. What a nice sister I am =P
Now..waiting for my second order..The order status from their website hasn't changed since I placed the order. Hopefully it will come too. HAPPY! =D
