by far the better shop is John:18 at Funan

 

good reviews about service. But their prices are not the best. I went once before, can't get attended to like after 10mins. Gave up. Lol but they seemed to be fairly popular then.

 

But no point lah.

Anything u want to know about any camera model. If it's on dpreview.com, ten times more detailed than any camera shop sales assistant can know.

 

I bought some stuff from MS color in AMK before. I'd rather go there if i really want to say shop around...

Old school camera shop.

nother Sim Lim incident: Student reduced to tears after being charged $1,000 for warranty fees for iPhone 6

SINGAPORE - Shops at Sim Lim Square may have made more than one customer cry.

A 19-year-old undergraduate was reduced to tears at Mobile 22, after being told she had to pay $1,000 on top of the $999 she had paid for an iPhone 6.

This comes after a Vietnamese tourist cried and knelt down to beg the staff of another shop, Mobile Air, for a refund after he was told to pay an additional $1,500 as warranty fees for an iPhone 6.

 

The Consumers Association of Singapore has received 9 complaints against Mobile 22 between June and September this year. There were 14 complaints chalked up against Mobile Air in the same time period.

The international student, who did not want her name or school to be revealed, said that she went to the shop located on the first floor of Sim Lim Square on Oct 9 after checking many other shops round the island. She agreed to pay $999 for the phone.

The salesman told her that the warranty would cost $39.90, an amount she found reasonable. But she got a shock when she was charged $1,000 on her debit card for warranty fees alone.

"There was an 'x' between the 39.90 and 24 months that the seller had very strategically covered with his finger while urging me to sign the document," she said in an email to The Straits Times.

"I'm a middle class student from India, I barely had money to buy the phone let alone pay for this," she said.

When the staff said they would not return her the money, she started begging them and burst into tears as the money was meant for her school tuition fees. They ignored her and even yelled at her, she said. Eventually, they charged her $551 instead of $1,000.

The incident has left the student broke, and she is surviving on meals that cost between $3 and $4, she said, adding that she did not know of any way she could seek redress.

"That day still haunts me. It was my worst experience in this country for I was told that Singapore was a safe city and incidents like these don't occur," she said.

Time for the MP to come in liao...

 

After little india riot, MP comes in, and sale of liquor banned.

 

So, with so much hype on this everyday, soon, MP will have to come out and talk, and show that he is doing things.

Maybe he will go to shop and talk to owner, and also make him sign agreement :D

 

Anyway, for this kind of crook that cheat innocent ppl of their hard earned money, he will have his retribution soon....

We shall wait !
