after writing this post, my cooperation application was rejected because allegedly I hadn’t generated enough traffic to their site, meaning at least 100 visits in 10 days. Honestly, if you were a store would you expect 100 people to visit your website after reading one post from a common blogger? I don’t regret writing the post, because my opinions were completely honest, and I still would love that leopard print coat, but I feel they took advantage of me.
Crossed out. Banner deleted.
My opinion as customer:
Products range: good
Product price: cheap
Product quality: I received this coat and I must say the quality was very good.
Shipping: worldwide delivery at low rates.
My opinion as blogger:
before I wrote this post, they changed the terms of our cooperation like ten times, and again after I wrote my review, so I bid them farewell.

To be continued…. I’m straightforward – take it or leave it. I’m honest – take it or leave it. I’m proud – take it or leave it. I’m naive, but if you take advantage of me, I won’t forgive you, take it or leave it. Take it or leave it?? I would really love to hear your experience with any of the mentioned or other low-cost online stores. Much much love Yours Coco
Great post, very helpful and honest! My experience is almost same like you. I really love your honest views sweets <3
Interesting!<br />Nice opinions!<br />thank you for the sharing!<br />Have a great day!
Sei stata davvero molto onesta Vale!

Great review! Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />http://www.3forfabulousfashion.blogspot.com
io non acquisto online, quindi non posso giudicare:) un bacio tesoro^_^
Hai mai collaborato con eFoxCity?Io ho scritto un post per loro l'anno scorso con il mio vecchio blog. Risultato: non mi hanno mandato niente!!! Ora molto probabilmente sono stata sfigata io perchè ho visto tante blogger collaborare con loro senza problemi!! Ma non collaborerei più con nessuno a parte con Asos che però ha dei requisiti molto alti!!<br />Ottimo post comunque!!Hai fatto bene a
You hit the nail my dear! Same here with SheInside and don´t let me start on SammyDress and persunmall… Fab post!!

This was such a helpful and honest post, Coco.Thank you sooooo much for posting it. So sorry to read about your experiences in some of these companies. I've been contacted by a few of them, but I don't currently do sponsors or anything like that, so it's good to know how some of them works, for future reference.<br />XOXO
Vale sei stata bravissima e ti ringrazio tanto per questo post, mi è stato utilissimo!! Anzi spero continui perchè l'argomento mi interessa. Come sai non ho ancora collaborato con alcuno di questi store online, mi piacerebbe ma non saprei quanto fidarmi. Su Sheinside sono rimasta sorpresa pechè non credevo fossero così. Un bacio grande!:*
That is a great post sweetie!<br />I am so dissapointed with SheInside too!<br />Keep up!<br /><br />xx<br />FashionEvELand | FEEL
Thank you for your honesty I will do the same if I was in that position I do not appreciate that us as blogger advertise for these companies and do not get paid for it and they expect so much. If they expect more they should start paying the blogger we do not lose out they do as a store and that it not good marketing they should start evaluating how they do business and show more appreciation for
great post like it<br />xx<br /><br />http://thedesire.es<br />http://www.bloglovin.com/en/blog/10612739<br />

ADORO questo post!! Alcuni siti non li conosco, quoto la descrizione per Sheinside e PersunMall! Io collaboro a mesi alterni con Choies e mi trovo davvero bene, ho avuto una brutta esperienza con Jessica Buurman e ora dovrebbe partire una collaborazione con Chicwish e poi quasi quasi ti copio l'idea del post e scrivo le mie recensioni!<br />Kiss<br /><br /><a href="http://
Thank you for your honest opinion. I am still a baby in the whole blogging sector, so it's very interesting to hear what other bloggers have to say. I only do everything my own and this is why I love blogging. If I ever get big enough I will do what you do – take it or leave it. No need to stress out. I am happy to spend a few of my own quid to pay for some stuff that might make an awesome
Holy Molly!!! Goodness lord,I have been waiting for your kin of post a long time. Haha! You spit Fire. Love you to pieces sweetie. Babes i was lost now i found myself. I found myself in this same shit a long time ago,when different clothing companies would send me bunks of emails telling me to work with them.Must confess i would prefer to work with a bigger company that won't pay me a '&#
Sorry about the long comments. lmfao.
Very nice post! I know how you feel. I have recently written an article for sheinside. After I had written it they told me about the visits they want. If they reject my review in the end, I'll get very angry. I have spent much time to write and promote it.<br />I have deleted one post from ahaishopping. The demands were crazy, I did everything they asked and at the end it looked like I would
Thank you for your honesty Coco. If this is how these companies work, they can kiss my pretty little behind. It is very bad business for them to expect anything more than an honest review of their product. I absolutely REFUSE to plug companies that expect anything more. I am glad that you gave us your opinions. Good riddence to the dishonest! I am sorry you had such crape experiences. The bright
Hiya sweets!! Well, I applaud you for your raw honesty, people need to know these things. I have avoided these bad companies so far, I keep hearing bad things on them and it has put me off even buying from them. I have deleted so many emails from companies, I am very particular about what I put on my blog. I only post things I would buy myself and I've usually never said anything to the

Great post!! I've never do shopping on line but with your information if I'll done I could have clear ideas!<br />Alita<br />www.paintyourdays.eu<br />
Ciao Vale, innanzi tutto grazie per le dolci parole, mi hanno fatto molto piacere. Hai fatto bene a mettere le cose in chiaro, pare che la trasparenza non sia molto di moda ahahah, ed invece hai fatto bene a mettere le cose in chiaro, è il tuo blog e il tuo spazio e devi sentirti libera di essere te stessa, chi ti ama ti seguirà lo stesso, e come diceva De André " continuerai a farti
P.S<br />Non ho niente da dire sui brand che hai citato, perché io sono una grandissima sfigatona dell'età della pietra che compra massimo ma proprio massimo su ASOS ahahah, quindi non conosco nessuno di questi brand, però se mai dovessi avere bisogno so a chi chiedere ;P
This post is amazing! I love shopping online and these site are very beautiful.<br />Big kisses<br />Www.veenji.com
Dearest Coco, I got also some offers for a cooperation with the online stores you mentioned above (unfortunately also not from Asos) but as it seems too much effort for me for a cheap product I decided at first not to cooperate with any of the shops. After reading your honest experiences (thanks for that!) I think this was for me the right decision! <br /><br />Wish you in future only pleasant

Hey Babydoll! <br />Mama's here. HaHaHa I saw this coming. That's why I haven't talked to you. I didn't want you to think I was trying to tell you what to do. I didn't want you to think I was trying to discourage or limit you. I let you experience this. There are many companies out there that are like stray dogs. When you lie with stray dogs, you get fleas!!! Any company,

REALLY THANK YOU! No I mean really really thank you! Because finally I read a post with a real review of these online sites! Some of unknown online shopping contacted me and I thank them. But I answered that I was not interesting in a collaboration. And they wrote me again. And again. And again! Oh my god, what do you think a NO means?!<br />It's my blog, my page. I wanna be free to choose my
Vedo ora che sei italiana! Scusa, non avevo notato!<br />Come non ho notato prima che è tornato GFC! Va beh per sicurezza ti seguo anche lì!<br />E grazie ancora di questo post! :)<br />Baci
I think you did great to write this post, I have only started with cooperations (I put an email address on my blog not long time ago) and I think this can help many newers out there. I'm waiting for first product yet to arrive and I've received a couple emails from websites that only do giveaways (and those emails got my declination because lots of bloggers do these kind of giveaways and
Val, this was a great review of different stores and their merchandise. I've only ordered cheaper skirts and shirts from ASOS but have mostly been impressed with delivery. The quality is mediocre, but expected from the lower priced items.<br /><br />xoxo,<br /><a href="http://www.chicncheapliving.com" rel="nofollow">Chic 'n Cheap Living</a><br />
Non ho mai acquistato da questi siti, però è giusto dare la propria opinione sincera…

Very honest. Thank you for the heads up!
Qualche volta scrivere aiuta a far passare la rabbia…un abbraccio!
Some of them I refused, some refused me directly, some I still talk about the details. Until now I was pleased with persunmall, from the names you mentioned.<br />Few are talking straight and this would be mandatory for a good cooperation.<br />Thanks for sharing. xoxo
love your honesty! I think that a lot of the low range etailers don't really get the whole blogging thing and they expect you to do all the work for them!<br />xo<br />styleonthesie.com
