'Hei' punch from e-bay

At last I got the item from e-bay. All this while, I was afraid to buy anything from there even if I like them so much and the cost of it is oh-so cheap. My worries? Will it be safe to register using my credit card? Will they deliver the goods in good condition? Will my parcel lost in transition? But since I've started to do DIY for my wedding, those worries were put at the back of my mind. I was determine to get this punchie. It's so adorable and would be nice if I were to own one for my wedding DIY card. I search all the places in local and KL but I just couldn't find one.

There's a shop in 1-U which I love so much. They sell lotsa scrapbooking and DIY stuffs but they are so expensive. I mean ya, they are the only one who have the products but if you were to ask for the price, you will realise it cost a bomb to own something from there. Maybe others don't have that kinda experience, but I'm a person with discipline. I couldn't bring myself to spend so much on something like this. Sigh....I just had to walk a way with a heavy heart. When I came across this item from e-bay, I knew this is the ONE. It's waiting for me to sign up with paypal, e-bay and VOILA! With a click on the button, I bidded for this item at US$0.01. Can you imagine how cheap this is?? But then that's not all. Since it's not local, there's a small fee for shipping. Together with that is the insurance fee which is optional. However, during the payment, I realised that the insurance couldn't not be 'unchecked'. Meaning it was supposed to be incorporated into the payment too. Although I feel it's expensive, I just go along with it. No doubt I need it, since nowadays Mr. Postman has 'history'. So paying a lil more to get them to deliver it safely is better than having paid the goods but did not receive anything at all.


I was excited to receive them. The moment I reached home with the punch on my hand, I tried it on the red paper. I was petrified at first. It was not easy to work with. What am I talking? How to work with a punch? I meant the punch was not easy to press. I have to use my bull strength to push the button. Not only that, it wouldn't go all the way to cut like the normal punch. There are some part that were not totally cut causing it to jam a lil. Basically, I put all my weight onto my palm covering the button to get it to give a neat cut. I wasn't sure if it was due to worn out or it's the nature of the punch itself. It was stated in the website that it's brand new. So....Or probably due to the paper which is a lil thicker than those normal blank white A4.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the end product from the cutting. Here's some samples I did using the punch. Was quite exhausted and had a red palm while taking these shot.




One word of caution when using this punch is use whatever strength and make sure it cut thru to the end to get a good result.

Did you get anything from e-bay also? Are they working perfectly?

Maybe you bid for 1 cent and they give you the blunt new one. Cheap is no good, good is not cheap.
