TIME SALE ~ My Second Purchase with Qoo10 (Gmarket) Singapore

(SUPER : INSERT PG Warning Logo)

Once Upon A Time, In A Country Far Far Away .. (Sorry, this is actually not a Fairy Tale, But a True-Life Experience)

SCENE 1

EXT. ON A BUS SOMEWHERE IN SINGAPORE – NIGHT

(SUPER FADES IN: TIME ~ 2033hrs)

As ME was checking out the QOO10 GMARKET SINGAPORE ONLINE SHOPPING APP on my iPHONE4 while on a BUS to SOMEWHERE, A TIME SALE PROMOTION caught ME’s attention.

(Time Sale Events on Qoo10 Singapore usually only lasts for 3 hours)

ME
(Gasps to self)
Oh My! Miss iPAD2 have been bugging me for the longest time,
for a new set of clothings.
She’ll bug me for the rest of my life if I miss this DEAL

ME looks at the WATCH and realized there is not much time left to go HOME to make the PURCHASE on his DESKTOP COMPUTER, so ME clicks on the item and selected the “BLACK 360° Rotating Magnetic Leather Case Smart Cover With Swivel Stand For iPad 2“, but was stuck at the Shipping section.

ME
(Thinking to self)
Should I opt for Express Shipping for an additional S$15?
That would cost more than the item itself!

(SUPER FADES IN: TIME ~ 2044hrs)

FINALLY, after 10 minutes (!!), ME decides to go for the Normal Shipping (S$1.50), because ME is in no hurry to receive the new iPAD2 Smart Cover, and Miss iPAD2 should be used to the old set of clothings by now, so it makes no difference to her..

So, ME Adds the item to his ONLINE SHOPPING CART.

But before clicking the “Place Order” button to confirm the purchase, and being a real KiaSu Singaporean (afraid to lose out), ME decides to compare the (already low) price with all the Qoo10 Discount Coupons and Options, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOT MUCH TIME LEFT BEFORE TIME SALE EVENT ENDS (16 minutes left!!)

NOTE:

You can use your own Discount Coupons in your account by clicking on the “My Coupon” Button – as shown at Frame #11 above

So, ME adds another similar item to the Shopping Cart, and then go through his Discount Coupons to compare the price.

NOTE:

You can add as many items to your Shopping Cart all you want, and you only make your payment at the Check Out Counter by clicking on the “Place Order” Button

ME finally decides to purchase it without using his own Discount Coupons because the Time Sale Discount already deducts S$1.40, and it is still the cheapest (… by 40 cents)

NOTE:

If You are doing this similar price comparison on your purchase, remember to remove the duplicated items that you do not need, before you Place your Order – You can simply “tick” the items that you want to remove, and click on the “Delete” button at the bottom

Now, lets take a little break, and do join us back here as the story continues..

Thank You for staying with us.

So here’s a recap: In Less than 15 minutes, ME found the item he (his iPAD2) wanted from Qoo10 Singapore’s TIME SALE, compared pricing with different Discount Coupons, and placed his ORDER all from the Qoo10 Singapore Online Shopping Mobile App.
