Coming to screen protector thingy, instead of doing for free, they can charge 10 bucks like Epi Center do... If you are in the sales industry, you must do all this greeting, advice, blah...blah.. simply standing in the shop like a zombie and take sarcastic look at customers, never seem to bother buyers, chat with a visiting friend...all this sick things I have seen in Machines... (KLCC & Midvalley) whistling.gif

what if they charge u 10 bucks, but they didnt do a good job. will you just accept it, or ask them to do it again? for normal SP is okay, but more special types like matte are pretty hard and if they did a small mistake (let's say they get dust on the adhesive side), well, you wouldn't accept it right?

so when u dont accept it, n u ask for ur money back = they rugi. how to do business like that

also, u wont want them to do it anyway. applying SP especially matte ones are best done in a calm situation. the staff would be busy working, entertaining other customers etc...they probably will apply ur SP in a rush anyway. i wouldn't want that. i prefer to carefully do it in my own time. same goes to my invisible shield and palmguard

I'm not in any way defending any resellers, but at times people here seem to think that they could get away with anything under the guise of "Customer Service", not far back i read this one thread by a guy who expects salesperson to bend over their backs for him,sense of entitlement elevated to extremity its just scary maybe dvlzplayground might remember.

*
sorry, i dont remember who exactly, but im familiar with the case. some people feel that Apple is a premium, upper-class brand, that when they enter an apple reseller, they should be treated like upper-class citizen or something. sure, as customers we are entitled to good service, but not super-royalty service. for me, as long as they greet u well, give u clear and honest answers, help u try out some accessories etc,... job well done. sounds simple but surprisingly not many people can do it

QUOTE(yuvanesh @ May 24 2010, 08:17 PM)
well bro you we can say the ipad is not launch here but the accessories is here right...there are selling the items..such as screen protector..case...bag for ipad..so why cant they apply...and reason is pretty weird that ipad is big...so they cant but iphone no problem...any how they still can apply 15',13',17' macbook pro screen protector....ipad is not that big...if i bring stuff like 20' above then reason acceptable..
*
as tinkerbel said, it's probably not that the 'cannot' do it. of course they know how to, but they dont have to or dun wanna take the risk. it doesnt matter, because again, it's better for u to apply it ur own anyway

Continuing my story from last time..(pg 12) Today I'll be going to 1U and check and decide whether i'm gonna collect my iPod.
Well, Not sure when exactly my ipod was arrived at 1U but It's been delaying to much and.. AGAIN I had to call them to check the status.. not informed earlier by them.

If it doesn't come with proper condition, I think I don't have any choice. Gotta talk to someone with it and ask for proper compensation about it.

Wish me good luck people.. Argh.. got a bad cold and got 2 A level papers on friday... Very stressed ....T_T

ouch, bad timing for this to happen to u bro sad.gif all the best!

without ACPP, new logic board would be around 3k, LCD around 800, new battery around 500. no idea how much is the top case.

so u spent ~rm1200 for ACPP instead of paying atleast rm4300!

me too sent my mac to VR troopers ...and they never let down ..

replaced palm-rest casing , and reset the sensor for me ...and walla! no cost at all ...and the engineer explained the problem with understandable layman term

for me VR tech still the best ..compared to Machines.

oth, another shop give the opposite advice saying that ure at risk if buying from the o9 website. Theyre offering the same thing at faster service depending on stock. But the funny thing is, when i asked wether they have stock or not, they start bulshitting and spinning saying that u never know until you pay and their supplier is an industrial secret. They cannot disclose from where they get their supplies due to apple policy...hahahah

now ive take 'risk' by bordering it thru o9 and hope it arrives when it say it does.... smile.gif

hahahahhaha!!!

what to do..panic la, scared lose customer tongue.gif

I am quite surprised that Epicenter doesn't have any Email address on feedback and email support service but Machines has. I got quite a good response time from Machines Support by email.

I been wondering if anyone of you actually have contacted Epicenter with email address as i can't find it in their website.

good news, it's my.info@epicentreasia.com from this page: http://www.epicentreasia.com/contact.html

bad news, they never replied me hehe

i went to machines mid valley last week to get screen protector for my mbp.

I asked if he can install for me since 15" is quite big and I'm afraid bubble later. He said "complimentry install you cannot complain la or else you do yourself"

WTF...
*
haha better install urself bro. he's not getting paid extra to spend a few minutes applying ur screen protector. do it urself, in a clean room, at your own time smile.gif im sure ull be more satisfied than if u had him did it

there's a lot of tutorials on youtube on applying screen protectors. it shouldn't be a problem if u're applying clear ones, it's the antiglare (with adhesives) which are hard. really need to make sure u're in a clean place

that is why most shops don't want to install screen protectors. even car tint shops are very leceh about this whole bubble thing.

i've used 4 different Macs with glossy displays, and I'd say screen protectors are pointless. I mean, we pay quite a premium for that nice screen... why cover it up?
*
err car tint nevermind, just spray some water behind it and apply. glossy screen protectors also can use this trick. it's the ones with adhesives are tricky... not to mention getting dust and whatever debris gettng stuck to the film :S

im using an antiglare screen protector tongue.gif last time dun have antiglare option, would've gotten it if it did.

QUOTE(olivur @ Sep 8 2011, 04:01 PM)
what are your current options in terms of coating, currently?

as i was thinking about it and there are a few downsides to say powder coating the shell. taking into account how it'd add onto the measurements and not to mention heat dissipation.

what's ot  blush.gif

OT = out of topic hehe

black unibody MBP will look great though biggrin.gif but looking at colorware website, i think we cant change the colour of the trackpad

oh  blush.gif

but you wouldn't really want to risk liquid getting into your machines if you follow the steps taken when applying window tint tongue.gif

and they use soap water iirc.
*
yes they use soap water, but just water works fine. haha of course dont put too much la tongue.gif that being said, the MBP screen is just all glass with no gaps so it shud be fine

QUOTE(monaz @ Sep 8 2011, 11:57 PM)
Actually he did install for me the protector. No bubble so far. I scared like hell seeing him installing coz he have to turn upside down my MBP on the table. Then he turn and turn during installation. Lucky no scratch. I no complain bcoz "compleementry installation".

In term of reason, i protect it bcoz it cost me 5k plus. So better pay some extra for protection.
*
wow if he made a scratch, ouch! protect something but something else scratch. btw maybe u shud get something like bodyguardz or what. the screen is glass and wont get scratched easily. the body is more prone
