<Info> Buying a PSP?? Read this first!!

[Guest FP4579R]

now i noe "singapore" truth..........hmm ugly..

 

muahaha tau takpe..

[LollyPoP]

i work in SLS for a couple of years, & i understand how things are done there.

 

regarding to TS 1st post:

GST

yup, now GST is 7% flat.

infact i believe almost 99% of the SHOPS (not STALLS) in SLS are registered with the government on GST.

Credit cards charges may varies from bank.

example: Visa & Master will usually carry another 2%, while Diners & A.mex @ 4%.

u may say it's crazy, 'How come Courts/BEST, other mega-stores dun have this rules?' of cos they dun, they sell u @ RETAIL PRICE!

go do yr maths.

 

Export sets / Warranty

i assume u're refering to PSP, as in yr topic.

a piece of notice to all readers: THERE'S NO OFFICAL WARRANTY when the PSP is mod.

i dun koe how to explain it to u guys here, IT products usually dun carry software warranty.

 

Lighting hand

as TS posted, check b4 payment.

it's not onli available in SLS & other tourist attraction, i once kana this even in TAKA.

 

No stock shops / Special sets / Packages / The confused

well, u pay peanuts u get monkeys!

cheap things dun come good, good things dun come cheap.

 

 

well, i've seen a lot of such cases almost every min during my working hours.

police coming in & out almost every day, usually going up to level 3 & above.

in fact, to be honest here, i work in a shop which was listed as 'Black shop' in HWZ. come & stand outside my shop for 1 day & u'll be wondering how come a black-shop yet can have so many customers daily? u'll have to figure it out yrself, i oso dun koe.

FYI, i'm more into mobile IT sales & i dun go above SRP.

 

it's like buying a brand new bike.

a shop who gives u cheap price will usually carry a early settlement fee, admin charges & other nonsense.

 

sry for my long post.

SLS n Lucky Plaza r for tourists...they can get GST refunds before they leave sg.

 

i'll like to correct tat.

they onli can get GST refunds onli if they leave by plane in Changi Airport.

Should has insist on a one to one exchange, cos all of the memory stick company has some sort of warrantly.

 

If shop dont change go pay $10 to go to small claim court. Of he can also compliant to CASE.
