Trader reaps lucrative income from online bundle clothing business
KOTA BHARU: The public should avoid having the mindset that bundled goods are worthless, said bundle clothing entrepreneur Azlamy Afiq Shafie.
Known as Lammy among his friends, the 30-year-old, who has been involved in the online business for over 10 years since his university days, said while there are some who regard bundled clothes as dirty and ugly, he always placed great emphasis on the quality and care of the clothing so that they are sold in pristine condition to customers.
“Before I sell my items such as shirts and trousers, I will wash them first to ensure they are free of stains, dirt or dust.
“I will inspect each piece meticulously and if they are damaged or the colour has run and not suitable for use, I will not sell them,” he told Bernama when met recently.
The Tanah Merah-born trader said although the bundled items are rejected or secondhand clothes, they are priced differently depending on the brands and quality.
“The profit I earned from selling bundled garments online once reached RM5,000 a month. For me, it is a proud achievement as I did not fork out much capital,” he said.
With perseverance and hard work, Azlamy Afiq opened his online bundle business, Lammy Bundle, in Kubang Kerian early this year.
“Although the country is still faced with the Covid-19 pandemic, my enthusiasm in this business has never waned.
“In fact, I am more motivated to succeed while several others in the business have given up.
“I am still actively selling online, besides participating in other online business activities or organisations that can help increase my income,” he added.
He also called on young people, especially graduates and those unemployed to explore or venture into this field of business while waiting for a suitable job.
