GMARKET purchases

My purchases were made on 16 August Monday night and by 18 August Wednesday afternoon, I had received 3 of the 5 items I purchased.

Item #1. Item no. 187705794 27,000KRW in Beige

I've been eyeing this top since April this year but put off making my purchase till I reached Seoul. Shopping on Gmarket when you're in Korea is better because you don't have to pay the international shipping fee and you receive the items in a really short time! So you can imagine my elation upon receiving my purchases. Within the next few days, I wore this top to a baseball match between SK and Lotte and it was the perfect top to wear on a hot summer day!

Item #2. Item no. 190545942 in 카키 31,300KRW

I haven't gotten a chance to wear this blouse yet. It's actually quite heavy on the details so I think it'll look better when tucked inside a skirt.

Item #3. Item no. 177354906 피트양R넥 in 네이비for 9,900KRW

This is a pretty fitted t-shirt that only looks nice on the model. There is only 1 size for this top and it's too big for me, perhaps because I'm not as well-endowed as the model :( 

On the 19th, I received another parcel containing another top which I've wanted for the longest time.

Item #4. Item no. 189147100 요플레BL in Brown 브라운 for 35,500KRW

While this blouse is the most expensive piece of all my Gmarket purchases here, it's my favourite and I wore it on the first day of my orientation at Korea University. I really love the material! Highly recommended item :)

Item #5. Item no. 179632336 F-155 투포켓블라우스베이지F for 9,900KRW

I was really looking forward to receiving this blouse and matching it with my black tank dress or a black spaghetti top. BUT I decided to cancel the purchase when it was more than 10 days since my order was placed and the item status was still under "on request". I emailed Gmarket's Help Centre about my cancellation request and the refund was promptly made to me.

Overall, my 1st Gmarket purchase on this trip has been quite successful JUST THAT I had trouble adding a new address to my address book. The address just couldn't be added using a Macbook or a Windows laptop. Luckily, Youngjin helped me by using his father's PC so I figured that from now onwards, I can only change my address using a Korean laptop or PC.
There were no mishaps whatsoever with the delivery as well. It is great that Gmarket sends me SMS alerts when my payment has been received and when my items have been sent out and this time round, I didn't get any calls from any delivery man! 

Oh my goodness, my little brother just sent me an email about what he wants from Gmarket! Since when did my brother know about Gmarket and shopping about Gmarket?! At least now, I don't have to worry about what I can get for him because he can tell me what he wants on Gmarket :)
