Maal Hijrah

Selamat Menyambut Maal Hijrah 1427

Maal Hijrah or Awal Muharam is the start of the Muslim calendar. This day coincides with Prophet Muhammad’s journey from Mecca to Medina in 622 AD, the first Muharam. Muslims celebrate the new year by attending religious talks and Quaran reading performances.

1st Year "Champion" Buyer

Having been trading online for a year now, I've come across all types of buyers. However, I'm sure there is one type of buyer that no seller wants to deal with.
Today, I'm going to dedicate this whole post to such a buyer.

This lady was one of my early buyers. She made an order around Chinese New Year 2005. Yes, she paid me promptly, within the stipulated 3 day period and I was happy for it.

HHmm so item was sent out, but unfortunately, it was returned to me after a few weeks. The reason was, no one was not at home to sign for it. The postman left a card for her, informing her to go the nearest post office to pick up her item. If not mistaken, she was given about 10 or 14 days.

Obviously, she failed to pick up her item and so it was returned to me. I sent her an email informing her about it and requesting for postage (I could resend it at my own expense if the fault lies with me) and she replied by telling me her reason (an acceptable one) for failing to collect her item and agreed to make payment for postage within a few days. The postage was only about MYR1.75.

Days passed and still no payment... so I emailed her... no reply, and so I mailed and mailed regularly, whenever I have the time, or when I remembered.

This went on for months, until one fine day, she emailed me saying that if she remembers correctly, she still owes me postage for the item that she bought.

While I was happy to hear from her, I was not happy with her timing, as she mentioned that she will send me the payment in a few days' time. Her email came a few days before the long Deepavali/Hari Raya holidays.

So, I told her to send me the payment but I'll only ship out the item after the long holidays as I do not wish for the package to be held up at the post office for days during the holidays. Anything can happen during that time ;)

Since then, I have not received her payment or heard from her at all. I'm presuming that she is still checking her email regularly, since none of my email to her were bounced (due to inactive account).

This Chinese New Year marks one year since her deal and I'm still keeping her item. What's the appropriate action to take.... I wonder?

NOTE: NO SELLER LIKES INCONCLUSIVE TRANSACTIONS!

Thank GOD for Small Mercies!

Yippie!!! What good news it is to finally receive the latest batch of sexy lingerie this morning. Well, well, well... it took mighty long this time. All in all, 5 weeks!! Can you imagine that? *duh*

What a relieve it is to finally have the naughty "It's Happy Bunny" land on Cyberpartygal's WebStore!

Better late than never, I say!

Pretty soon, all the items will be up in all sales platforms, but first & foremost, these items are already displayed in Cyberpartygal's WebStore. Do make a visit, we now have a new store front in conjunction with Valentine's Day.

Also, if you haven't gotten any gift for your loved one, or something just to pamper yourself, do drop by our Valentine's section.

All stocks are already on hand. *YaY*

If you are interested, do act quickly. Apart from the limited stocks, we don't want to get the package caught in the long holidays. BAH!

Once more, Freebies*** galore is back to reward those who are quickest to meet the very lenient terms!

SEE YOU THERE!!!

Correct Way to Wear A Bra

By MYNIPPON.com Team (contribution from Rayman)

We have consistently emphasized the importance of wearing the right sized bra as part of our efforts to provide information on better body care. However, it should be noted that it is not just buying the right bra and wearing it religiously - you need to make sure that you wear it properly too.

Assuming that you have already selected the tightness of the bra's back strap, when putting on a strapped bra, regardless of cup size, after first slipping the straps over your shoulders, lean forward at at least at a 90 degree angle to your legs. Then affix the back strap around your back and fasten it. Wiggle yourself slightly from side to side to get yourself centered in the cups and then stand up. This will place them firmly into the bra cup and assure they are where they are supposed to be. This is really important because otherwise you will not get the support they need and the whole purpose of wearing a bra will be defeated.

Strapless bras are put on in much the same manner, but it is vital that the back strap is placed exactly where it is supposed to be before it is fastened.If you are are still not perfectly fitted into the bra, you probably did not lean forward enough, the back strap was adjusted too tight or too loose (many women may have to try a different tightness when putting on a bra this way) or you have the wrong size, shape or cup size bra.

Still, practice putting the bra on in this manner several times before making any final judgments.

Soldering On

Despite the loss of the recent batch of lingerie, we have to soldier on ... our WebStore is STILL open 24/7, 365 days a year.

Therefore, we hope to see continued support from our loyal customers.

Thank you!

Missing In Action

We regret to inform that our latest batch of lingerie still has yet to arrive due to unforeseen circumstances.

Therefore, after almost one month of waiting, we decided to pull out our "COMING SOON" products from the display shelf.

All orders will be recorded and these customers have the first option to purchase their ordered items once shipment is recovered.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We thank you for your understanding.

1st Anniversary

7th January 2006 was the 1st anniversary of Cyberpartygal's venture into lingerie e-trading. There was no celebration due to the loss of the latest consignment.

Endless Wait

Saturday (7th Jan, 2006), Sunday (8th Jan, 2006) & Tuesday (10th Jan, 2006) are off days. Shipment is still not here.

Agonising Wait ....

Shipment: 13th December, 2005
Today: 4th January, 2006

Wow, it's been two years already ...

Protection For Normal Mail

If Buyer insists on using Normal Mail, a Seller can protect herself with
just 20 sen, in case of lost mail during transit.

What a Seller can do is to request for a "Surat Akuan Mengepos" from
the post office.

Fill up the recipient's particulars (name & delivery address) and stick a
20 sen stamp on it. Hand the package to the counter clerk and get the
Certificate validated with the date stamp.

Written on the reverse of the Certificate:

********************************************************************

SURAT AKUAN MENGEPOS

bagi benda tidak berdaftar selain daripada bungkusan

CATATAN

Benda Pos mengikut Surat Akuan Pos tidaklah didaftarkan tetapi sebagai barang pos biasa yang dimasukkan di dalam peti surat.

Surat Akuan Pos tidaklah bermakna yang pengirimnya hendak menerima bayaran gantirugi, jika berlaku kehilangan, kerosakan atau lambat terima.

Pengeluaran Surat Akuan Mengepos ini adalah membuktikan bahawa
benda-benda pos itu telah dicatatkan pada Surat Akuan dan diposkan di Pejabat Pos pada tarikh yang dinyatakan ini bukanlah bukti bahawa
benda pos yang berkenaan telah diposkan dan bukan pula surat keterangan berkenaan kandungan benda pos itu.

*********************************************************************
Loosely translated:

This Certificate of Posting is only valid for normal mail packages that
are not Registered.

This Certificate of Posting does not mean that the Sender intends to
claim from the post office in the event of loss, damage or delay in
delivery.

This Certificate of Posting proves that the package has been sent out
on the date as stamped. The contents of the package is not recorded.

New Look for the New Year

We have a new Welcome page for the New Year. Take a look!
