ALL ABOUT PRE-ORDER + SEPTEMBER TO NOVEMBER P.O. LOOTS

pre·or·der

/prēˈôrdər/

verb

verb: pre-order

1. 1. 

   order (an item of merchandise) before it is available, with the understanding that it will be shipped later.
   

   
   

   I have been shopping online since- hmm- 2010? Or even earlier than that I'm not sure but I've been at this for a really really long time now and it took me until a few months ago to actually buy something for preorder because I thought "meh. I can't wait that long". But how long is "that long" anyway? How does preorder work? How's the payment process? Worry no more for I am here to save the day (what?)

   
   

   There are a lot of online shops on Instagram that are in the preorder business. They go from baby clothes to bags to shoes, from different countries around the world! Basically, you talk to them first (since it was the first time I've ever tried it + all the sellers I've ordered from (so far) are really nice and accomodating (if you're a responsible buyer that is)). You talk and then things will only start from there. You can choose from whatever items you like that are posted on their page- that, or you can even make a request! How cool is that?

   
   

   The payment process is simple 50-70% down payment and the rest you can pay by the time or on/before your order is onhand. *disclaimer: I don't know about the other sellers since I've only ordered stuff from the same ones so far* It's better though if you pay in full before the items are onhand so they can just ship it right away, then, it would feel like receiving a surprise gift from yourself hihi

   
   

   Usually it takes 30-45 days for the boxes to get here in the Philippines (again, based on my experience) for Air Cargo and then 30-45 days + delays for Sea Cargo. The shipping cost I think is cheaper with Sea Cargo (if you don't mind the delays) but I mean I don't really mind waiting so whether it's Sea or Air it doesn't matter.

   
   

   Anyway these are our Pre-order loots from September to November.

   
   The ones on the first picture are my first batch of preorder from @fluffmatesph on Instagram. Most of them are from Max and then the other ones are from Zara. These are from U.A.E. if I'm not mistaken.

   
   

   The second photo is also my first preordered items from @ryzcloset.es these are from Zara Spain. I got 9 items originally but I already sold them. They were mostly shirts here's a photo

   
   
   

   These ones are all in size 2-3 and from one shop @kissmybabyshop on Instagram they were all from Denmark (Zara & H&M). I think I ordered them around September or even before that and then they got here just in time for Arya's birthday. Totally totally worth the wait

   The first pic I ordered these from @paul.and.primcloset (i'm not sure about the username I think their account was deactivated because I couldn't find it anymore). These are from the US. I really like the boots and thank God I got the right size. They're Arya's fave. The clogs are still a bit too big for her though which is cool.

   
   

   Second photo is a Mini Melissa + Campana Zigzag in Bronze/Rosegold color. I don't think they sell it here anymore that's why it's already kind of like a hard to find pair. We also had this in a smaller size and it's really cute so I ordered a bigger size for the little girl

   
   

   To end this post, let me tell you- pre-ordered items? Totally worth the wait. We have more coming so I'll see you on my next post about preorder and stuff.

   PS. No, I didn't buy anything for myself because #mamalife
