THANK YOU EVERYBODY! All Sprees Closed for 2007!
I hope that this year has been a fruitful shopping year and of course for your pockets too, though it may never be filled... ANYWAY, because of all of you baglovers/birklovers/shopaholics, the year has closed seeing a total of more than 150 Birks passing through, and about 100 bags in the past few months.
The hassles of budget shopping have never been so fun and uniting us against evil sellers!
Thank you all for your kind (or unkind) help in co-operating with the sprees and its really been a nice time meeting all of you and seeing your somewhat shy but anticipating faces. My apologies if there has been stuff which you were unhappy with and hope that the new year that is about to come, will bring forth more bountiful harvest for us shopping queens riding on the waves of techie-ness!
Untill then....
Happy Holidays and Remember to save Money Yeah!
Love,
Amanda :)

IMPT ANNOUNCEMENT! bags spree
Skyblue aka Bigi bags (the TW site we've been buying from) - i will NOT BE ORGANIZING ANY MORE SPREES FROM THIS WEBSITE henceforth.
Ive gone through another fellow spreer (big thanks jamie!) and it appears that the seller replied to her, with regards to her own order & upon arrival, a few bags were missing too.
The current status of the Bags Spree 4 orders is that it is going through her, to the TW seller and so - i'd like all of u to note that when she gets back to me on the available stock, it will be the last batch of bags from this site. All unavailable stocks, I will make refunds asap upon confirmation.
Those 3 bags which are missing, I am trying to get refunds for u. However, in the worse case scenario, u might just have to forfeit the money paid. The best I can do is to refund u the shipping cost of SGD5. I am trying okay but no guarantees on this.
Any queries with regards to this issue, please mail me and i will try my most bestest to assist.
[link here.]
This site has similar bags to Skyblue, but not as prettily photographed. However, many of the bags which are repeated, show clearer (and more truthful) photographs of the bag's details and stuff. Many of the bags are actually the same but look BIGGER and are measured to be a little bigger on this site cos the PREV site seemed to have used a taller model and measured it a few cms smaller. (compare eg 1 & eg 2. identical bags) The shipping might be a bit cheaper for the new site, am not sure yet but will charge $5 for now and refund if less.
Altho variety is slightly lesser, this site apparently is better rated and won some of those website popularity award. Like best lady's handbag seller for 2007 on yahoo taiwan.
When I mailed them, they mailed back in a somewhat prompt and organized manner, in better clarity than our ex-site.
I am opening this spree for orders and will close when i've reached 10 bags.
To order pls scroll to bottom of page! :)

Bags Spree 4 - No News Yet. Clothes Sites.
Just to let u know, I am still waiting for a response from the TW seller.
And I bug them once every 3 days for a reply, I believe they must hate me now but I don't care. Hahahaha
Will update you all as usual when I've got responses. So please don't keep asking me cos, I will always update here whenever there's something noteworthy.
If the Taiwan side replies by around the 20th, the bags would probably reach (those that are available immediately) around 1st week December. Remember, those that aren't imm avail need 20 days and I will only know when the seller replies on that.
Thanks all for ur patience :)
Lately, I have been looking at a few websites and contacting them with regards to buying clothes from them. Perhaps if any of you have feedback on the sites below, u can let me know! I am trying out a few pieces first cos I've heard about quality issues from them.
1. CCT Fashion
The prices are very cheap, shipping is about $5 a piece.
But the main drawback is each single design has to have a minimum of 2 pcs to order. That means, there has to be repetition, either in different size or a diff colour for 1 style.
2. *╮小美〞日系浪漫璀璨時尚╭*
Japanese fashion. am quite hopeful for this site cos the seller actually replied my chinese mail in english. wow! 100points for initiative. HAHA
3. ~Queen Shop~
I personally like this shop and the style. The last I mailed them, they told me international orders will be opened in October 07. hmmm... What do you think? Like it?
Oh, btw the Bags site now sells clothes! But look at the speed they work, I am highly doubtful they'd be any more efficient with clothes AND bags....... oh well. we'll see.

Birks Christmas Spree 25th - Open!
Thursday, November 8, 2007
Bags Spree 4 - CLOSED
Dear Baglovers of Bags Spree 4,
This spree is now CLOSED!
1. I am hoping to open the Bags Spree 5, in time for Christmas - aiming to have it delivered by Dec 20th. Am not sure how keen the responses will be, so maybe u guys can start planning on bags to pick for your christmas presents and drop me a mail with your orders. If i see that there are enough keen shoppers, i'll open the spree.
2. I understand that some of your bags cannot be found on the website and I've had countless feedback that the links you saved, do not show the bags when you check back on them after awhile. Let me explain that it is an auction site, so when the auction for the bag expires, the link will refresh and become a new link. Hence, it is better that you note the PRODUCT CODE so you can use the search function to look for it. (if you are not sure which is the code click here)
3. There are a total of 18 people in this spree and 30 bags.
4. Please note, the delivery takes only 1 week to arrive. HOWEVER, the Taiwan seller takes a long time to reply and often the replies are like very unclear and it takes a long time for me to figure out and check the figures with your bags. They are also quite prone to mistakes and so, I rather take more time to confirm the order and have it delayed by 1 - 2 days than to receive wrong things.
5. Most of the time, there will be bags that are immediately available and those that need 15-20days for pre-ordering. So, given that I ship them all after the 20days - this makes the entire duration close to 30days.
6. Also, the site's credit card payment is down until the Nov 16th. As such, they have informed me that I can only make purchase by mailing cash. (no way...)
~
In short!
I can't answer you a date that your bags will come, simple because the actual duration taken is 1 week but It all depends on the speed of Taiwan's correspondence. So, put your mental sums and estimation to good use! I don't want to give empty promises but I believe you'd understand the situation :)
Good buys are worth the wait! Happy Shopping & Thanks everyone~ :)

Bags Spree 3 - im sorry it has yet to arrive!
If you have ordered bags from it and have been very dilligently checking back for updates, THANK YOU AND MANY APOLOGIES but it has not come yet! I will sms all once the parcel arrives. They have sent it out on the 8th Oct. Come this Thursday will be one month, I seriously hope it comes. I sent this parcel out by a different shipping mode, hence the super long time.
I won't do it again! :) Please be patient dear baglovers ...

Thank you all the rest for your prompt responses!
Please allow a few more days before spree closure :)
The payments for the Bags Spree 4 are not yet complete. I do urge all to check your mails otherwise, it is not being too fair to those who have paid before the dateline. Yea? :) Please try! :) I know its abit hard but you know, good deals come with sacrifice! haha

I will update on this spree here so hope that the spree counter hits 2000 and I'll know that you've been dilligently waiting for my posts. HAHA kidding... I will place orders once all payments are in alright? Once again, if your bags are out of stock i will refund. If your bags are pre-orders, will need to wait 15-20 days.

Birks 21st & 22nd Batch
Birks 21st Batch - Ordered, arrived, all collected.
Birks 22nd Batch - (from http://www.footshopping.com/ ) Ordered, arrived, all participants emailed for collection.
Please note that if you are keen on the designs from footshopping.com, please add $7 instead of the usual $5 on top of the SINGAPORE DOLLAR STATED ON THE SITE.
This is because credit card is charged in Euro and the conversion rate is different from the on-site conversion. This $7 is also inclusive of the custom taxes paid for local duties.
Thank you!
For all who are interested in spree for birks, please check out http://www.tobiasmayer.com/ and if nothing interests you, try http://www.footshopping.com/ .
For all orders, delivery requires 2-3wks.

STATUS UPDATE: Bags Spree 3
Saturday, September 8, 2007
Birks 21st Batch & Pre-orders
Thursday, September 6, 2007
Bags Spree 3 - all bags to be available in 3 weeks
I managed to negotiate with the TW seller, to let us place pre-orders for those bags which they replied were out of stock. This simply spells good news to all the 41 bag orders which were initially placed!
Because they look such a long time to reply it resulted in more than half of the bags being unavailable, so they decided to allow me to make a 预购 for it. (pre-order)
Pre-orders are generally not allowed for international shipping as payments are a hassle and administrative wise - is really alot of work for me to sort the orders... (I spent at least 3 hrs on them! -_-" )
As stated on the site, preorders need 15-20 days, excluding weekends - adding the shipping time, it would take slightly more than 3 weeks. (am not surprised if it would take longer, pls be prepared to wait. thanks)
So, as I have mailed and smsed all of you, I would require all payments to be made latest by THURSDAY NIGHT 6th Sept because I spent the whole wed figuring out the orders and they only give me 3 days to make payment. This means I have to pay on Friday. So please co-operate with me to get this going on quick! I do my best to get ur stuff, pls do ur best to stick closely to my proceedures and be considerate aight?
Thanks all~ and remember!
No returns and exchange~ orders are confirmed please do not cancel it !

Bags Spree 3 Updates
I have mailed each one of you to confirm the receipt of it and if you have got the mail, pls note to wait ard 2 wks+ for the bags to come. They usually arrive faster but this time, the seller has been taking almost a week to get back to me, so dun place your hopes too high on an early arrival of bag.
Once again, I would like to stress that participating in this spree requires that you have agreed to the terms stated previously - esp the part on no refunds or exchanges. Simple reason being, that is the terms I agree to, with the TW seller. Hence being able to get it at this price. So... lets not say im being unsympathetic but I will forthrightly say it now - in the event of a mistake or defect, I am not liable nor responsible for the goods but within my best knowledge I will prevent and help you with it.
Okay! :)
More updates soon!

Birks: Sandalsworld PRE-ORDERS - one spree only
Mail me your orders: e1ectr0enceph410gr4m@yahoo.com.sg
Date of spree closure: 2007 Sept 24th
Date of delivery: 2008 March
FAQs
Why like that?
cos this is a pre-order from the yet-to-be-released 2008 catalogue and so, what you are doing is to pre-order the ones u want and then they'll make it for u.
quote from the site:
"In Sandals World we offer you only pre-order/new collection articles. Mens and Womens Sandals, shoes and more of the brands Birkenstock sandals, Birkis, Papillio, Tatami, Betula, Vabene Scholl sandals.
You will get 10% discount. You will get new shoes which are maybe not longer available in the main catalogs of 2007 and 2008! Only pay a 50% deposit and the rest of the balance when the items are ready! "
So I wont get in until somewhere in March 2008?
Yes. and you also dont need to pay full now - just half. and the other half when the stocks are ready, in 2008.
But I have to decide and pay half of the amount now, before Sept 24th?
Yes. Cos i have to place the order for the shoes by that certain time, and also pay for it.
How to know what is the price?
Approximately: Take the USD pricing x1.6 and add $5 of custom taxes to the amount & roundup.
Exact amount to pay: Will mail you a confirmation mail after you have already sent me your orders, cos the actual amount may be different when i actually make the transaction due to exchange rate fluctuation.
Bags Spree 3 Update
The seller has FINALLY replied and please note that I have sent mails to all participants of this spree regarding your payment amounts.
Please make the payments ASAP latest by sept 4th!
The following ladies pls note that you need to make payment:

yikes: All Spree updates
Bags spree 3 - Seller has not replied me! Am still waiting. Really seek the patience of all of you.. and i will personally contact all of you who have placed your orders via email when the seller decides to reply. . .
Momo spree 1 - Due to the high shipping rates and some advice from other buyers/sprees, I have decided to cancel this spree. Another clothing spree will come soon, but currently I havent yet found a good site that has a low minimum yet cheap and wide variety.
Meanwhile, do note that Birks Sprees are ongoing as usual and the Birks 20th Batch has just arrived today. There will be a mass meetup tmr evening and details have already been sent via sms to all. Please note that those who are unable to make it - I will try to arrange another date but pls dun expect me to be obliged to be in your area. Remember that by default you pay postage but I choose to offer the option of helping u save money by picking it up from where I am in the day.
Thanks all for your understanding and cooperation!
