Summer is here which means you have to revamp your wardrobe with floral  patterns and vibrant colours! This is actually my first proper outfit post in collaboration with Gumtree Singapore.

My Shopping Experience with Gumtree Singapore

0001

The dress that I am wearing on the pictures above are purchases from Gumtree Singapore.

Gumtree started off as a local London classified ads and community site and now spans 76 cities across 11 countries.  You can find everything you are looking for with the help of your local Gumtree community. From accessories, gadgets, home appliances, a job or a flat, a nanny for your kids, a cuddly pet to a tennis partner – it has practically everything!

So given the opportunity, I was asked to pick my favourite items from the website and Gumtree Singapore gifted them to me! Needless to say, I got attracted to the fashion section of Gumtree Singapore as there were simply so many items to choose from! Initially, I really got confused as to what should I choose but I finally selected the above dress and a bag.

My Take:

Ok firstly, the process is very simple. I did not have to make an account or register in order to make a purchase. I just simply chose the items I desired and immediately got in touch with the specified retailers whose contact details were provided below each advertisement. For me, there were no hassles at all. I got my items delivered in-person on the same day I had placed an enquiry about them. If you wish to post an advertisement, you will have to simply fill in your contact details when creating an ad listing so buyers can easily contact you. It is completely free to post an ad in most categories on Gumtree. Check out the video below on how to post ad. The video is the UK version of Gumtree.

Yes, it’s as easy as that! So basically if you are too lazy to go out shopping on a rainy Sunday afternoon but you urgently require certain products or services, Gumtree Singapore is a platform you just might want to consider! Also, if you are looking for branded items online, this is where your search ends!

Sections to check on Gumtree Singapore (in terms of what I liked the most):
1) Clothing & Accessories
2) Health & Beauty
3) Activities & Hobbies

And guess what? In line with the Great Singapore Sale, Gumtree Singapore has recently launched a new and exciting campaign called “The Gumtree Fashion Month”. The Gumtree Fashion Month is giving readers a chance to win $600 worth of shopping vouchers for the Great Singapore Sale! All they have to do is sell any clothes or accessories on Gumtree. The higher the number of ad postings, the greater the reward.

So guys, what are you waiting for?
Check out the Gumtree Singapore website & start shopping now!

Till my next post!

    I really love your Carlo Rinto’s bag and floral dress from Zara! To be honest, I’ve never even considered shopping from Gumtree Singapore—I’m really surprised that they deliver on the same day of purchase!
