Updated : i have tried to called them, they say they would like to discuss when i get back to them on saturday
i realize a lot of lies trying to cover and pushing away the responsibility

Situation

I called them, i ask them how much was the original set price, they say very high, and they say the difference between AP set and ori set is just warranty, and they then say 3 days ago the price for s3 was very expensive (she said 200 higher), den after i offered them another deal, which is i top up 100+ the whole set they gave me for a original set, they refused, they suggested that any phone that is sold, even just for 1 hour will be second handed, which they offered me 400 (and have to top up 750) for the NOW original set for s3 Rm1150
They give excuses like boss is at overseas, and they can only change a new phone for me and fix it

Something similar happened few months ago, in lowyat plaza also, where they persuade my friend to buy another computer, and he found out that computer cannot play the game he asked for, and when he return it, they only accept at second hand price, even it is only 1~2day after... my friend stayed quiet and lost almost 1k...

I told them i would report them to the consumer tribunal they insist of not changing

No point that you are going back to the shop as they will keep changing a recon/ap set for you since RM1048 you can get a new original Samsung Galaxy S3.

before i buy i tried to asked around, their price is 1100~1250...
and because they offer a higher trade in price for that iphone 4, so i decided to buy their s3 ...
so there is no way to solve this?

sorry to say, but it looks like they already kelentong u with fake set / china set / clone set, or some of the parts already been replaced by fake parts.

this is common case in LYP, especially those small small store / kiosk opened by local ah beng or bangla.

why risk buying at those places when u can always get 100% genuine original sets from Satu Gadget, directd and aaronac?

its not about ori set or AP set. samsung ori set is warranty by SME, and even if u buy AP set, it is still genuine samsung product made in the same factory, just that the warranty is different since AP set is not distribute by authorized party.

Bro, hang out more at the mobile phone garage sales section, and you will know the market price and good sellers already. Dont need to buy from shops. Lowyat has the best deal. Or directd if youre staying at Subang area.Not hard to go there. Just take train to subang ktm, and walk 15 mins to the shop smile.gif

From your post, i suspect you got a fake one, because ap set should be exactly having the same home button and camera location as the original one. If i were you i would have asked for a refund, and try my best to get back as much as i can. Then i will use the money to buy another phone from safe trader here.

dont ever buy phone at plaza lowyat, i think most of the shops also dishonest and very unreliable. i bought my samsung s2 last time and they keep ensuring me that it was SME set, that time i still not sure how to check whether is ap or ori set. another thing is the micro sd they sold to me, they said is class 10 but when i go back and check it is only class 2.
that time i was quite noob in handphone, plus im rushing at that time, not staying in kl so no point for me to purposely go back to argue with them.
phone is cheaper by maybe rm50-rm100 but why take risk to deal with those blood sucker. rather buy in garage sales from the more reputable sellers.

Ap is not necessary mean approved product nowadays.
Dishonest seller uses that word on refurbished set and clone set too.

By right, AP means approved product. It means the phone is not distributed by local company. Instead it is from overseas, meaning that seller get stock from oversea, ship it here illegally, avoid the tax, hence selling it at lower price. Which also explains why the warranty is directed to shop, not any authorized seller.

Actually there are difference in ap, refurbished and clone set.
AP - oversea set with warranty from shop.
refurbished - second hand, shop fix the problem and resell it
clone - made to look the same physically. but interior different.

But nowadays, sellers don't state whether the set is refurbished or clone. They just say ap set. Their ap set actually = ap/refurbished/clone.

Actually AP has authorised service centers, like Brandstar, etc. The ones brought in illegally is waterset, where you can only find warranty claims from the shop itself.
