My mother was the one who introduced me to shops called Ukay-ukays or UK. At first I was hesitant since these clothes are used and who knows, the previous owner might be murdered or something. But when she brought a shirt that fitted me perfectly, it changed my views on Ukay-Ukay goods.
She also taught me the proper way of washing the clothes, but I still prefer Lysol above anything else :D From then on, I always go with her to the UK store.
Looking for clothes at UK takes time but I tell you this, it's worth it! That's where the idea of putting up my own Ukay-ukay shop came to mind. I want to share my finds to those who are too lazy to go UK and dig some clothes. I've been planning to put up an online ukay ukay shop since last year, but I was busy with my chocolate business.
I am just thinking whether it will be a hit or not. We are now facing financial crisis and we need to think of ways to save money during this time. One way of doing so is to not spend too much on clothes.
I need some of your advices, ideas and suggestions on whether to have my UK shop online or not.
Thanks. =)
I'll be posting some of my UK finds here soon =D.
Ang cute naman ni mochi.. teka you mean meron din dog clothes sa UK??
ReplyDeleteMarami ang dapat gawin pag nag online shopping business ka. halimbawa ung type of payment. papano magbabayad ang mga bumili sayo at papano mo ipapadala sa kanila ang mga bibilhin nila. atsaka dapat meron kyong kasunduan ng mga buyers mo. since online shopping siya, syempre halos dapat mong ipadala through express delivery. kung meron ka pong kakilala na nagoonline business, better ask for their help para po makapag isip ka po ng mga paraan kung papano mo po ito masisimulan. goodluck po
good luck on the business. marami naman ng ways and means to pay and receive money online. tyaga lang talaga.

Salamat po sa lahat ng nag iiwan ng comment sa post kong ito... gusto ko lang po talaga malaman kung marami ba ang susuporta sa plano kong Online UK Shop.
ReplyDeletekagaya ng nasabi ni jepoy, meron na kaming ebay dati kaso na-stop lang po kaya meron na kaming means of payment at kung paano i-shiship ang items... gusto ko lang po talaga kumuha ng opinyon ng iba para makakuha ako ng iba pang ideas para sa balak kong Online UK.
yung damit naman ni mocha eh actually mga baby's clothes yan... matyaga lang talaga ako maghanap kase cheaper sya compared sa iba... hehehe....
salamat po ng madami sa comments... sana may mga magcomment pa. =)
pwede rin heheheh.
ReplyDeletemarami akong damit galing UK. thanks kay inay. hahahaha.
siya bumibili. di ako pwede maki-ukay gawa ng allergic rhinitis ko. hehehehehehe
Good idea! pipicturan mo ng marami ang iyong mga damit, think about delivery fees and all that. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. If you enjoy ukay ukay, you'll enjoy doing it too as a business.
ReplyDeletehi Lalaine! ilang linggo ko na ring pinag-iisipan kung ok ba ang UK online store. Mahilig din kasi ako mag-ukay at may tindahan kami dati kaya natigil kasi walang matinong pwede magbantay. tinanong ko si Mr. G kung merong mga UK online store kaya napadpad ako dito sa blog mo.
ReplyDeleteSa panahon ngayon kelangan talaga nting mg raket para mabuhay. Having an online ukay-ukay is a good business. Good luck nlang sa business mo sis.
