Talulabell Review ~ Abaca Picnic Basket

Hello Loves,

Today, I’ll be sharing with you an awful experience that happened when I bought a picnic basket online. I was looking for a picnic basket for a while now because I had plans with my best friends that we’ll go on a picnic. I searched online and luckily I found this online shop on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/TalulaBellHandmadeCrafts/), named Talulabell Handmade Crafts. I really liked their bags but most of all I was so glad they offered a picnic basket. Everything looked really nicely done and durable, well that was I thought before. I immediately ordered one; I contacted them through chat on their FB page. 

I finalized my order after a week. I paid through BPI. I sent the proof of payment just like any other online transactions, and then they confirmed the payment and orders. Joy Olaguera was the owner of Talulabell, she told me that the picnic basket is made to order, she asked for 2 weeks time for production. I gave her 2 weeks and after that, I asked for an update. She told me that it was still not done because they had a lot of orders piling up. I understood but I kind of felt disappointed because I take commitments seriously. I gave her another week as an extension because I don’t think a single picnic basket would take so much time to make. Another week passed by and then I asked for another update. It’s really hard to receive responses from them on time. She said she’ll send it to me by the next week and so I waited for another week. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive it in time for our picnic. I received it 1 week after.

I received the picnic basket via JRS. I wasn’t excited anymore because the time I needed it already passed. I opened it when it arrived and to my disappointment, the picnic basket looked terrible. There were sides that were untidily done. I don’t even think that the basket is durable at all. The picnic basket was unsatisfactory and I think I just wasted my money on nothing. 

I am never buying from Talulabell ever again. I was really upset with what happened to me. Just a friendly reminder, if you want to order baskets like this, you guys better avoid this one shop. Save your money and time, find other shops that are better than this one. 

Until my next blog. I hope you all learned something from this blog guys. See you next blog! 

Talulabell Review ~ Empanada Wallets

Hello Bag Lovers,

Today, I’ll be sharing with you a terrible experience that happened when I bought some native wallets online. I found this online shop on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/TalulaBellHandmadeCrafts/), named Talulabell Handmade Crafts. I really liked their designs and it looked really nicely done and durable. I was planning to buy some wallets as gifts to my friends and luckily I found their cute Empanada wallets. I ordered ten wallets, I contacted them through chat. They take a lot of time to respond.

I finalized my orders after a week. I paid through BPI. I sent the proof of payment and then they confirmed the payment and orders. Joy Olaguera (Owner) told me that the wallets are made to order, she asked for 2 weeks time. I gave her 2 weeks and after that, I asked for an update. It took a while to get a response. When I finally got a response, she told me that it was still not done. She seems pissed that I am asking for an update. She told me that the wallets were still not complete. I gave her another week as an extension because I don’t think those little wallets take so much time to make. Another week passed by and then I asked for another update. I got no response that day, I only got a response after 2 days. She said she’ll send it to me by next week and so I waited for another week.

I was surprised that what she said was true, she sent me the wallets that week. I was excited to open it but to my dismay, the wallets were disappointing. The wallets were untidily done. There were loose threads on the side. The wallets were unsatisfactory. It was not as nice as it looks on the page. 

Buying from Talulabell has given trust issues. I was really upset with what happened to me. If you ever plan on buying native products, just avoid this one. It’s for your own good. 

Until my next blog. I hope you all learned something from this blog guys. See you next blog! 

Talulabell Review ~ Small Sunrise Bag

Hello Bag Collectors,

Another day, another blog! For today, I have a story to tell. I have experienced a traumatizing situation when I bought some native bags from an online store. I have found this online store on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/TalulaBellHandmadeCrafts/). I was really stunned with the designs of this shop’s native bags and so I ordered two bags from them.  I ordered through their Facebook page. Responses are a bit delayed but it was fine, I’m willing to wait.

I have finished finalizing my orders within a week. I paid them through BPI transfer. After that I sent my screenshot of the payment and my orders has been confirmed, the owner, Joy Olaguera asked for 2 weeks time before it could be shipped because the bags are made to order that is why it needs time to be weaved. I waited for 2 weeks before I asked for an update. I didn’t want to rush them by checking every time because I didn’t want it to affect what they are doing with my orders. It took days to get a reply; she said that the bags were still not done; she said she could ship it the next week. I waited another week before I asked for another update. There was no response and I knew then that the bags weren’t shipped that week. I was already getting impatient because I have been waiting for too long already than expected. I only received the bags the fifth week. That was too long from what she had committed. 

She shipped the bags via JRS. I immediately opened the bags after receiving it and to my frustration; the bags that was sent to me was a different color from the ones I ordered. It was untidily done and it looks like it’s not durable at all. I was disappointed with the bags because I really liked the designs. I didn’t message Talulabell anymore for because I had enough of disappointments already.

Buying from Talulabell has left me an awful experience. Just a friendly reminder, before buying anything, make sure that the shop your buying from is legit and trustworthy. I hope this won’t happen to anyone. It’s better to avoid this shop too, for your own good.

Until my next blog. I hope you all learned something from this blog guys. Bye.
