You know how much of a fan I am when it comes to buying items online, especially great bargains with items that are sliced at impossible unthinkable prices. Every time I get a new purchase online, I would happily share my e-shopping experience and show the items off here, in this very own website. However there are certain categories of items which I will and can never buy online, no matter the prices and design.

Items such as clothing, jewelries, food, bags, shoes, computers and plants (although I don’t have an ounce of gardening in my blood) will never be bought by me. Those are categories which needed special care, handling and serious on hand inspection by myself and I would certainly hate spending $60 on a dress only to find it stuck on my torso or it having tattered seems which the seller seemed to have forgotten to inform me.

As usual, I was planning to do my e-shopping again this time for my HP Ink Cartridges. Amazing how fast these things finishes even though I’m using their HP 60XL cartridge for my HP F4280 model. Instead of typing out the usual URL, I went to search for new shops and came to Shop Wiki. Strange name and that was what draw me to it.

Amazingly the site does justice to the name itself. Apart from being an Idiot’s Guide on almost everything that we usually shop for, it also has a whole list of shops which I think they had crawled upon in the internet. Take the category of watches for example. If you take a look at the link I’ve given, you’d find a guide on watches and what to look out for when buying them. Since I am a happy fan for watches that have a unique pair of hands, I took the liberty to take a look at their recommendation.

Unfortunately, they don’t have the type of watches which I love. All their analog watches are too stiff looking without any unique designs like Flik Flak or Swatch.

Overall the site is a very informative place to visit. The website layout is user friendly. However there is a little thing that irritates me, their Store Browser. It’s very messy and they should include their own personal comment and reviews on the store instead of getting the META description from the stores themselves.
