I have some doubt buying from departmental stores, whether they're selling original items(esp clothings) from respected brands or not. Do you guys have any experience?
Is Parkson/Aeon/Isetan selling original item?

QUOTE(ace_limau @ Apr 16 2014, 12:42 PM) I think you do not know how departmental store works. Places like Parkson, Metrojaya etc does not own any of the brands in there. They are done in consignment. The lost that they are assigned to are somewhat rented. Its either contractual or monthly. Usually contractual. Whatever stuff they sell they have to manage it. The dept store only assigns staff there. So on original items, the brands that u mentioned are definitely original. No dept store wants to house an imitation product company. The brands that you see are managed by the company that imports and distribute them. sometimes it goes 2 to 3 hands before landing on the shelves at the dept store.Unless the distributor somehow is delivering imitation items there, then there would be consequences. It is cheaper to market products in dept store than a standalone shop. For the same price of a shop lot, u could be selling the same brand over 3 to 4 dept stores. Logic right? |

My friend used to work in Poney situated inside Metrojaya. Metrojaya does not own Poney. Unless the distributor somehow is delivering imitation items there, then there would be consequences.

I admit I misunderstood how dept stores work!Unless the distributor somehow is delivering imitation items there, then there would be consequences.

Reject Shop have to be careful cos they got their goods directly from factory. The factory will sell to them in bulk irregardless of brands and size.Therefore sometimes u will see them selling rejected/overrun branded item and most of the time cheap clothing.
