Shoplah my ass! Shit! I've seen so many consumers fall into their trap by buying from them and yet not receiving what they see online.
Is this fraud or what? If that's what they show online, then sell them! Not sell something (according to them) 80 to 90% similar then give excuses to their unsatisfied consumers to cover up the dirty businesses! That's cheating!
Why do they even need to sell something similar? Why can't they model their own apparels and take photos of them instead of rip of photographs of other online shops (I believe their photos can be seen on other shops as well). It just shows they were lying about having professional models and studio set ups to do the photoshoot. If they DO have the photoshoot of the apparels, they MUST have the original apparels for sale then.
I quote from Stomp with what Shoplah has to say.
"Does a person in real life look 100% exactly the same in photo? The answer is NO. It will never be possible. Also, the pictures we have in the website are very nicely taken with very pretty models and backgrounds.
"If you would compare the pictures in our website with the photos customers have taken themselves using their own digicams, it would never be comparable due to many factors like different lightings, backgrounds, type of digicam used etc.
"We have been in business for about 2 years with a huge customer base worldwide (not only in Singapore). It will not be possible for us to satisfy all customers because different customers hold different expectations.
"Some customers with high expectations would expect very good quality products at the price as low as $15.90 they are paying which we cannot satisfy them.
MY GOODNESS! They had the cheek to say that! Aren't they ashamed of themselves? Where is their little sense of dignity?

How many more complaints do they need to stop all these nonsensical bullshit? HUH??
I'm sad to say I was one of those unfortunate consumers who bought from them. Bought a total of 3 tops. Guess what happened to them? I gave them away because they totally didn't look like what it showed on their website. OMG!
People, fellow consumers, online shopping addicts, whoever you are, DON'T EVER BUY FROM SHOPLAH.COM!
They are FRAUDS!
