Atonchia Supersonic November 24, 2018 Share November 24, 2018 NTUC Warehouse club, I think is really dying.Yes, Consumers really like convenience. Look at the increase of food delivery service...this is the real "Let the fingers do the walking" the Yellow pages tagline. Less people willing to lug large trolley ĺoads of groceries back home.

In the near future, all these retail stores will be gone, replaced by warehouses instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atonchia Supersonic November 24, 2018 Share November 24, 2018 (edited) In the near future, all these retail stores will be gone, replaced by warehouses instead.Yup May not be warehouse retail. More like fulfilment centres for 3PL to provode the last mile delivery services. Edited November 24, 2018 by Atonchia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DACH Supersonic November 24, 2018 Share November 24, 2018 Warehouse is really 1990's, 2000's idea .. all the hypermarts in the US (Costco, Walmart, Target) started this whole concept and they are now struggling with competition from the likes of Amazon. I don't mean warehouse retail. Simply warehouses to store inventory or even produce as per demand and have the sales items deliver to homes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kklee 6th Gear January 31, 2019 Share January 31, 2019 Since yesterday, I noticed that there were hundreds if not thousands of products that no longer listed in the INTERNATIONAL catalog. Anyone notice similar? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic February 1, 2019 Share February 1, 2019 Seems like I have to join Prime membership at $2.99/month before I can order anything from Prime SG Apps. Although there's a one monthe free trial, I am not too sure if it is worth the hassle to cancel it, as I just only want to order one item and not buy from them for a long time. You can cancel it right after you order so it doesn't charge you for the next month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic February 1, 2019 Share February 1, 2019 What? Why would they want to charge membership fees?..... Just look at Warehouse Club..... Wait...Prime SG is Same as Prime Now? Just treat the 299c as a delivery fee and you'll be fine. Also, if you use citibank creditcard (not sure which), you'll get a 10% rebate on purchase and also a rebate on the 299c fee. It's very convenient. Redmart/Lazada also has a membership fee. I have both Amazon prime and lazada membership. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At present, you pay for lazada membership get redmart membership at the same time. I think Lazada/Redmart membership is $49 per year so even more ex than amazon prime. IMO, both are good.
