One of my favorite online store at multiply, Owned by Nicole “Nikki” Acriche, a Cebu-based seller. Her site have a not so common design, it has no comment box, meaning you cannot post any feedback unless she initiates on putting some of her own comments. As she says, that is her own way to avoid client piracy and so that her buyers will opt to submit Order Forms instead of putting words to her items, words like “mine” or “reserved”, One way of avoiding joyous reservers too.
So far, it works! Umm, I guess.. She only deals with sure buyers. One thing though that is not so convenient at her site, whenever she posts new stuffs for sale, it has no dates on when she did the uploads, she only puts a note on every items for the dates unlike with the other sellers. But nevertheless, her site has this very fashionable design with a very personal touch.. like her logo design, a large framed woman, nearly her personal body frame that makes her look like a bully.. a bully for fashion hehe ( but as of this moment, she had been spending time at the gym, and I don’t think she looks like a bully anymore but a very SEXY model for her collections hehe.. )..and oh her welcome notes are really inspiring for women who go for nice and cheap dresses.. Being the model herself, makes her dresses very more attractive to her customers unlike those who uses manequins.. another ganda points to her store!=)
As for her mode of payment, she accepts G-cash and Bank Deposits at BDO, a little bit hassle on her clients here in Manila is that when we pay via bank deposit, we have to pay 50 peso service charge =(, so most of us really go for G-cash.
Her shipping schedule is done every Saturday ( so she makes sure payment has been made before that day ) via JRS or Air21. She also do meet-ups for her Cebu clients. Since shipment is during Saturdays, expect it at your doorstep by Monday since couriers are off during Sundays and Holidays.
If you’re a new customer and you don’t know her style yet, don’t fret and think as if you have been scammed if you just had a transaction to her, send your payment and then you won’t hear any feedback from her regarding your orders, like tracking numbers and other questions that you want to ask her for the last minute. She is a very busy lady, managing her online store, her family, her hubby and gimiks on the side. She will answer your quiry in wee hours, just when you thought everybody are asleep, she is busy tending to her customers.. you won’t be able to get annoyed at her, because as most of the Cebuanas, she will add up “ lambings” on her texts and it will just mellow you down.=)
A long wait for your order is worth it, I can promise you that. Her stuffs are really neat and one of a kind. You won’t see any other dress like the ones she have on her store. That is because she and her supplier has a great taste for clothing too. Some of them are imported from Bangkok while some are locally made, inspirations came from top shops and boutiques like Plains and Prints, Kamiseta and the likes.
She uploads new fashionable dresses every week so don’t dare to look at her site if you’re broke, because you’ll just drool over her collections and get frustrated if you can’t have them=).. two thumbs up for nikki!=D

How do you know if a shop is “trusted”? I found a site (ecig.multiply.com) and I am hesitant to buy because the guy said money first via bank deposit, and NO MEET UPS.
Is there anyway to guarantee my money won’t just disappear?
Meet up kasi ang safest way eh..
well,you can try searching, googling about the seller.
In online shopping, it is 99.5% money first.
I can tell if they are trusted if I or my friends already transact with the seller many times.
I already tried googling, guess where I ended up. Back here in your site hehe. Kinausap ko lang siya, sounds okay but I still don’t like money first then saka siya mag papadala, COD sana.
What are the ways you can “tell if they are trusted” if you haven’t bought yet and wala silang feedback sa ibang site? I know his landline and address.
gut feel? hehe
buying online is a risk din kasi
again, online shopping is always money first
Since you’re so into multiply shops, why don’t you offer a service to verify if a shopper is legit? Ask for a free sample then review it on your blog along with the customer service/delivery time?
I’d feel more secure reading a review. And I just paid, got my tracking number
