Thanks for the input Laura, that really helps! We hope more people will come forward and help us identify what we need to improve

I chose the quality and the styles. The purse I bought from here, three zippers broke after a month of using it. : ( I'm kind of nervous buying something from here and it breaking again.

The only thing I REALLY like from here are the shirts. Usually only a few of them, and the stuff in the misc section.

[Nattfall]

I voted expensive. That is NOT because the prizes are so effin' steep, but it's because I'm almost constantly broke And the selection of pants, for instance, is somewhat narrow. I almost always need new pants, but AsiaJam almost only stocks skirts and shorts. I'd also like to see more longsleeved shirts and sweaters. Even though it's summer now, I live in Norway and it's not so hot that I can only wear t-shirts everyday.

[laura-aap]

Im always watching details.. it's crazy! I can easy drop a cute top after seeing some details I dislike. like letters... or glittery useless prints.

also the price.. yeah, they went up a little and some things I don't feel like it's worth the price. and the harst colors sometimes don't suit me.

(http://www.asiajam.com/catalog/produ...oducts_id=3535 this top is so cute.. but the star in silver... T_T)

[laura-aap]

[haruhisuzumiya]

I also agree about the detail things.

Yes yes! Don't worry, it's our official eBay site. It's kinda dead though because eBay fees are a killerrrrr to maintain and slow traffic

[laura-aap]

yeah! ebay is terrible when it comes to sellng.. but great for buying.
you know, I like the top pretty much! I know it got sold a looong time back on asiajam. =)

[diadori]

i'm broke!

i also get kind of impatient waiting for things in the mail.

and there are a few details in some pieces that throw me off.

or i fear it wouldn't go over well where i live.

/my style is a little more subtle than some of these fashions allow.

//but if i had the money i would be buying the necklaces for sure! i really love the sewing machine one.

[JunGaeHyuk]

like others have mentioned, the styles sometimes don't suit my taste [or, like laura-app and diadori mentioned, many times there is just *one tiny* feature on an item that ruins it for me.].. HOWEVER i do find things that i do like and then the pricing dilemma comes in where... i would buy something, but i just don't like it enough to pay the price for it.

im sorry!! i hate to be brutally honest here...but i don't think that the current selection is purely what i consider "asian fashion" or at least its not a diverse enough selection of different types of asian fashion. for instance, all the sections [bohemian groove, sleek &chic...etc..] seem to have the same look to me.

i really REALLY want AJ to be successful and i want to be a loyal customer... but my wallet is tight... and unless i see stuff i REALLY love.. its not worth dishing out the money for it, in my opinion. TT__TT

[Dutchie]

my parents don't let me buy from here and the clothes probably don't fit me what is to bad because there is a lot of stuff I like

[JunGaeHyuk]

im gonna put this out there... if AJ were to set up a donation account [ie. an paypal donation account or something] i would gladly donate to the success of AJ's store. i would do this in the hopes that other Jammers would do it as well and in turn, AJ would be able to provide more fashions [and possibly more affordable price tags] that we could all enjoy.

..just a thought. ^_^

[demoipourvous]

I chose styles and size. Styles because there only seems to be a limited range of what "asian" fashion is...or at least I think so. It would be nice to see other stuff aside from the cutesy, flirty styles. I like them, and I'd wear them but not always. Variety is the spice of life, eh? And I chose size because for an asian, I've got more boobs and butt than most The pants would surely fit my waist and legs but won't go past my butt and same goes for shirts not fitting my chest right *sigh*

[Hanyouyanni]

I chose the style and shipping.

I've looked at the clothing and it's cute. But there's not a whole lot I want to buy. And from previous threads, there's pics of really cute tops and pants that I would love to buy. And those items aren't in stock anymore or AJ isn't selling them anymore. It's just that this season's clothing isn't doing it for me.

But I'll keep on waiting for something that'll catch my eye! <3

[katzluva]

I also chose quality and style. I'm not sure why, but over a year ago, there were much more appealing products to me and now...it is filled with gothic lolita-like clothings that arent quite lolita, shirts that are oddly shaped, colored, and not sewn professionally. I'm never much of a neon-colored person either, and there are one too many of them being sold.

Perhaps asiajam didnt change, but my taste have? It's difficult for me to imagine wearing most of clothings available. For example...

http://www.asiajam.com/catalog/produ...oducts_id=3683

I wouldn't possibly dare to wear that in public...I might just be called a jester!

I apologize if this reply is full of criticism, but I only hope AJ for the most success. As far as pricing goes, it's not expensive, but I do not feel that my purchase is worth the amount I paid. I'd actually consider looking for another supplier -- one that manfactures a clothing line that is a little more normative, wearable, and doesn't break down after a wash.

[jeniousx4]

I don't buy from asiajam because i'm a cheapo so the clothes are expensive and I dont have a PayPal nor a credit card x(

[bellytuner]

Your criticisms are most welcome here. Your feedback, whether good or bad, is what helps us make changes.

As for quality, I want you all to know that AsiaJam realizes this and is making drastic changes in the way we import clothing. This is where the problem comes in... higher quality products are more expensive - that's just the way it is. Thus, some products are priced higher than normal because of our high cost. We are starting to bring in higher cost clothing so Jammers don't have to deal with poorly made garments. This is something we are currently investing in.

On top of that, the US Dollar is dropping, AND prices of imported products are increasing. This is real. It is very tough for AsiaJam to survive if we priced our products the same way we priced them 2 years ago. So what can we do? We continue to source for products with a combo of low prices and good quality ... though it's not easy to come by but we're working hard!

As for variety of styles, we are also trying to diversify the styles. Rest assured, everything we bring in is 100% Asian but you may prefer some styles over others. This is why I started the Style Preference survey so we can get a better idea of what styles to bring in more. With limited finances, it's hard to diversify as we wish... We have to prioritize based on which products would move best. For example, we made a big import from an Asian country last month - the quality is great, but apparently, the styles are not very sought after. Give us time to grow and we assure you we will diversify as much as we can.

Do go on with your feedback. I'd like to hear more honest feedback!
