I recently purchased 2 outfits from Indusmart.com. Here is the link for my review:
Indusmart

I had a terrific experience with them, and am going to order from them on a regular basis. They give exactly what they promise, allow you to make changes according to your specifications, and provide excellent quality work. I highly reccommend them.

i used tohfay.com to send kfc meals/flowers and a Time Magazine subscription to family. their customer service is really fast and efficient. the food items and flowers all arrived on time however there was a little delay with the Magazine. i've also used a gifting site to send donuts and chocolates i cant remember its name though!

After going throught this thread many times, I tried www.sentiments4u.com. On Friday night (Toronto time) I sent a b-day cake to my neice in Lahore and by Sunday afternoon 1pm (Lahore time) the cake was there along with a pretty card. Needless to say, I was very pleased with the service .

kiranhassan · Jul 18th, 2008, 04:00 PM

whatever you do not get your clothing from fashion veer. com guys. The lady is a fraud and a liar. She will take your money and give to nothing in return! be carefulllll!!!!! shes a horrible horrible person, i have never been dealt with such liars in my life. her name is hira or something. Just be careful!

salman7684 · Aug 14th, 2008, 03:34 PM

Sorry to hear abt that Kiran. There are ppl like that woman which are distroying the country's repo..

As far as my observation is concerned, being a paki resident, i see all these above mentioned sites too much expensive.. They are demanding prices more than double from retail markets for most of the products. This seems to b a good way to start a business. Now i m planning to open a website also. Can u ppl guide me, which kind of products are direly required by you people so tht i put them on my website with 20-30% less profit margins.. SO tht both of us get benifitted.

salman7684 · Aug 19th, 2008, 03:34 PM

also try this pakbizpages dot com

you are welcome dear, but you would know how difficult it is to maintain the benchmarks when you would get into the river.

as far as we are concerned arent selling something that can be bought any where but we treat our outfits as specialty clothing and if you would like to compare the price then do it with the designers not with the adda walas in your neighbourhood because there is no match.
to give you an idea just average cost of stitching a dress goes beyond $30, its the people which we have that make the difference.

salman7684 · Sep 6th, 2008, 06:31 PM

i have worked as graphic designer in some of the best boutiques in Pakistan including Sobia's.. What i have observed is that the difference is not that much. The profit margin is mostly more than 50%. I have seen that there r usually several tailors working together given targets to stich one suit per day or sometimes more or less depends upon the amnt of work on them. They have been paid monthly arnd 150-200 dollars. just imagine a tailor making 30 suits in one month and getting 150 dollars. It means that he gets $5 dollars per suit. Dont let me open more trade secrets..

shoponline4kaprey · Sep 21st, 2008, 09:47 PM

I am located on the east coast of the United States. Please provide input on the following sites if possible.

Bargello,

Fashionveer

Ustav Saree

Saree Store

I checked out 786 shop and another one and the styles are not good. I am also looking for someone to make custom clothes from designs I provide. Also if anyone knows a good shop in NJ or NY that delivers to Boston area please provide information regarding that as well.

shay9164 · Sep 21st, 2008, 09:54 PM

I used to like Utsav alot until now.. their customer service has gone from great to good to absolute worse. Before, they would deliver to you exactly by the day you would request them, now you would be lucky if you receive it within 3 months after. My poor aunt placed her orders which they didn't deliver and 4 days before she needed them, they told her it would take atleast 2 weeks more. And that too, when she called them herself in India and got transferred to 10 people around. Same happened with me also about a refund for earrings I had ordered and they JUST arrived after 3 months and that too, in broken condition

. After calling them many times, I finally blew up and told them I was never referring anyone to them ever again (they knew I was a long time customer) and this was just horrible customer service and I dont have so much time that Im gona call them every night for this refund so they can gladly keep the money. Within an hour, I had 3 emails from different people saying sorry and the payment was processed. Not shopping with them again.

shoponline4kaprey · Sep 21st, 2008, 11:05 PM

These are the types of stories I am hearing about everyone!

shoponline4kaprey · Sep 22nd, 2008, 02:06 AM

I guess Ustav has stuff that is really cheap stuff... so it can be tried out to see if they are any good.... everyone else has really high prices so its not worth it to just give them a try to see if they are good.

Colourful eyes · Sep 22nd, 2008, 11:30 AM

WATEVER YOU DO, DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM HIRA SHAHAB KAZI, FROM FASHION VEER

SHE IS A FRUAD! WILL BE ALL SWEET UNTIL SHE RECIEVES YOUR MONEY. THATS WHEN YOU SEE HER TRUE COLOURS,

shoponline4kaprey · Sep 22nd, 2008, 04:34 PM

What's the deal with Indus Mart? I've also been correpsonding with the store manager for Hajra Hayat. I have only found a few designs that I don't LOVE but they seem relaible and legit, haven't ordered yet. Karama boutique has also responded with prices but I am not sure about forking over $500 online, unless its going to a reputable store. I sent an inquiry to HSY still no word! Lets see. I did email the person from Fashion Veer but no one has responsed yet. I want to see samples of actual work done.

Colourful eyes · Sep 22nd, 2008, 04:55 PM

WELL SHE POSTED PICTURES OF WORK ON HERE, TURNS OUT SHE GOT THEM FROM OTHER WEB SITES, IF YOU SEARCH FASHION VEER ON THIS FORUM YOU WILL FIND OUT WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HER!

I HAVE LOST ALOT OF MONEY WITH HER ALOT! DO NOT LET HER MUGG YOU LIKE SHE DID ME AND MANY OTHERS.

Colourful eyes · Sep 22nd, 2008, 04:57 PM

can u give me the link for the karama website please

shoponline4kaprey · Sep 23rd, 2008, 02:23 AM

Here it is but its horrendous! If you can get past the 20 mintues intros and the non instinctive naviagion, you have to hit inquiry and note the product number , then someone will email you with price et ok so it is atelierkarma dot com (they won't let me put a URL Up) But an actual person did respond to me. Sometimes I think that the people just put up websites thinking no one will actually order from them and its like an advertisement or a music video or something for them. Anyways prices are kinda high, and the designs are not the greatest but its comming from the desinger. I guess maybe Fashionveer is not in bussiness anymore, no word from them about ordering.

Just ordered a cheap sari to see how it is from Ustav. Lets see. I'd rather order from someone based in PK but seems like there's nothing reputable!

AngelWings · Sep 23rd, 2008, 01:43 PM

After reading these forums I would stay away from fashionveer however if some of you need help ordering I can hook you up with my sister's friend. The thing about her is that she will copy whatever design you give her but her best work comes out when you givee her just a color combination. She uses chiffon and raw silk mostly with embroidery over hand painting, pretty fancy.

shoponline4kaprey · Sep 23rd, 2008, 11:45 PM

Who is that?

AngelWings · Sep 25th, 2008, 01:10 PM

Her name is Sabrina Ehsan. I'm unable to post pictures, as soon as I figure that out I'll post her work.

shoponline4kaprey · Sep 25th, 2008, 05:13 PM

Hi Please send me an email w/ contact if you like. I had made contact with one of the peoiple here but she's disappeared

I guess everyone must be busy due to end of Ramadan in Pk....

AngelWings · Sep 26th, 2008, 08:03 AM

Hey sorry was busy with work her e-mail addy is sabrinaehsan04@aol.com tell her tahnia directed you to her.

mahismart · Oct 5th, 2008, 09:38 AM

@AngelWings: Is your friend based in Karachi?
