Finding the best deal online with Wize

Posted by andrew on July 19th, 2008

With so many online shops these days, it is quite a daunting task to hunt for the best price online. Imagine having to visit 10-15 websites, compare prices between different online stores and not to mention, having to read reviews to make sure your choice of product is right. This does make online shopping more complicated than going to shops in person, doesn’t it?

This problem can be easily solved by price comparison sites like Wize.com. This site makes it easier for US online shoppers to get the best deal for a particular product they want to buy online and at the same time, get an idea of how good the product is based on the reviews. Take for example, if you are looking to buy a toaster oven. How do you make a choice from the many toaster ovens available out there? The toaster ovens page on Wize will be a good helping hand.

Now, if only they can expand this to other countries as well…

For consumer electronics http://www.viewscore.com is much better. Its scoring is based on professional reviews and it never misses a review.

Dear Blogger,

Hello.

My name is Edward Skading, from Selangor, Malaysia. I am writing for your viewpoint and support towards a good cause campaign to protect and uphold our consumer rights.

I am being sued by an arrogant corporate company (F&N Dairies (M) Sdn Bhd) because I exposed a horrible discovery concerning one of their products on my weblog. It is all about my shocking finding of an abnormal substance (mould) in a “Tea Pot” brand, sweeten condensed milk tin-can. You can read the full story (all the correspondence letters) and view photos of the contaminated milk and the disgusting hazardous conditions of F&N Dairies’ plant at my weblog http://consumersrighteousness.blogspot.com/.

As a consumer, I am sickened by the fact that we are not provided utmost protection from this sort of situations and whatever consumer rights we have now are defenceless. I also feel that my human rights had been deprived when I am being forced to silence and on top of all, I feel cheated when the company executive responded to my grievances that they are not liable for damaged products in the marketplace.

I am only requesting that the company be truthful, reliable and accountable for their mistakes, moreover produce cleaner and safer food. I believe, it is the responsibility of our whole society to protect the rights and benefits of consumers, and all concerned parties should together strive to do the work of standing up for consumer rights, improving the consumption environment, and pushing for faster, better economic and social development.

I sincerely hope you will cover my story on your weblog and tell it to the world. I would greatly value and appreciate your kind support.

If you wish to contact me, please send an email to eddskading@hotmail.com.

Thank you.

Yours truly,

Edward Skading
