  2. Shopping
    • How do I search for a particular product?
      • We have an ever growing and rapidly changing collection of products since we house many 3rd party retailers. And because of this, it may be difficult to find the product again a few days later since the page it was previously located on may have jumped with constant new updates from many stores.

        You may use the search bar at the top right hand corner of every page. It would be useful if you could remember the product name, or even part of it.

        If you can’t recall the product name, try browsing by categories since retailers would categorize their items on each upload. Good luck!
    • Where do I find the measurements and size comparisons on site?
      • The size chart is available on every product details page. Click on the product image to enter. The sizes available are subject to each retailer’s stock and may not be consistent across retailers. S, M, L sizes are good for a rough gauge. We recommend you to follow the given measurements to avoid any disappointment!
    • Which countries can be delivered to?
      • The majority of the retailers usually ship to Singapore and Malaysia. We also have some retailers who also ship to Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Brunei, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and others.

        However, countries available for shipping are subjective to retailers. They will indicate their delivery zones on their shop pages so do take note of it!

      • A backorder is a customer order which cannot be fulfilled at the present moment, and for which the customer is prepared to wait for some time for the next batch of stock to arrive.

    • How can I cancel my order?
      • If you have not completed the payment process, simply go to the outstanding payments page and click on “cancel this order”.

        However, once order has been confirmed, you would have to contact the retailer directly via their contact page if you would like to amend your order.

        Also, some shops may have stated their terms and conditions on order cancellations. This can be found on the Terms & Conditions tab on some of the shop fronts. Simply click on the shop name to enter the shop front.
