Lama Al-Qahtani

Editor · Pen name

Covers fashion, beauty and kids stores in Saudi Arabia, and reads every offer's terms on the store's own Saudi pages before it goes up.

How the review works

The editor opens the store's Saudi site, reads its delivery, returns and payment terms, compares every code with what the store publishes, and records the date. Codes tried in a basket are photographed after a made-up control code is rejected first.

The role

Lama Al-Qahtani is a pen name. Behind it is the editor responsible for three categories: fashion and shoes, beauty and perfume, and kids and baby. Every store page in those categories, and its codes, labels and dates, is hers to keep correct.

What she checks

In fashion, most of the work is in the exclusions: whether a code skips new-season lines, named brands or items already on sale, plus the store's rules for exchanging a wrong size and its sale calendar in Saudi Arabia. In beauty, she reads which brands and gift sets a code leaves out, the minimum spend for samples or a free gift, and what happens when you want to return an opened product. For kids and baby stores, she looks for excluded items such as formula and diapers where a store names them, bundle minimums, and returns on opened packs.

Every offer's terms are read on the store's own Saudi pages before it goes up, and each delivery, return or payment fact is dated on the day it was read.
