Purchase on-line

Just did an online purchase for a shirt recently. Normally, the "seller" will send you e-mail with series of attachment of latest design complete with color & size available and offering their "best" price. These garments were imported from China, sold in Taiwan then we do our "online-purchasing" locally (wholesale price + mark-up + courier fee + re-sell = profit).

I do receive e-mails to purchase-online every now and then. Select your favorite, drop them an e-mail, pay by e-transfer. Once they have accumulate all the orders, they will acknowledge you, fix a time and venue to pick up the goods. Since I'm going to Taipei in next week, why don't I browse through the wholesaler website, look for the address and purchase directly? The selling price here have been mark-up at least 100%!!

I guess I better bring extra "plastic bags" to "tapao" the garments directly from Taiwan when they are still sizzling hot!! =P
