Tutorial on Pre-order

I believe many of you do not understand what is a pre-order/spree and why is the price much higher than what quoted at the website.

Pre-Order
A pre-order is done by ordering items wanted by customers from particular websites such as Victoria Secret or Cherryculture. It will later be ordered from the respective manufacturer/third party which acts as supplier which ALSO orders directly from manufacturer.

The cost involved when ordering includes conversion rate, taxes whichever applies, service charges, credit card charges, discounts or promotion rates (if any) and shipping charges from respective countries to Malaysia. The heavier the items are, the higher shipping charges will be.

However these cost can be lessen once minimum quota of orders reached and shipping can be shared among spreers or customers.

As pre-order requires a minimum number of orders to be reached, therefore buyers/customers/spreers are advised to be really patient as your order will only be submitted once this quota is met.

The ordering process basically is as following:

Customers -->Seller -->Supplier/Manufacturer-->Items shipped out--> Takes few days or weeks to reach Malaysia-->Supplier (if any)-->Seller-->Customer.
