hi
i am 100% agree that what u said.
do u know mandarin? if yes, pls refer to below,
this is the letter i send for PC Depot management
to complain, but finally no 1 care abt this.
But I don't know mandarin, how ah?
I use translator also comes out not right.

I stop buying from them long time liao.
Once a while I just visit if I happen to be nearby.
I visit to check their customer service or lack of it.
Last visit almost tempted to buy from them but got scolding instead rclxub.gif

So I hope you can get someone to translate your story.

agreed..go to pc fair on saturday.. no interesting item there this time..even no more high end gaming acc can be found except logitech brand... no shop in penang got selling razer brand ka?

all selling common item only but i still love the environment..hehe..it is where sometime i buy thing that i realize that i buy it..dont even plan to buy it but looking at the price so cheap (4 certain item only) makes me want to buy it..

this time i realized that HDD price is cheaper comapred to non PC-Fair price outside.. even 1TB seagate we can get around 380+/- only..

bad luck on my way home..T.T my cars broke down need to call truck to pick it up..go pc fair buy nothing buy pay for car repair RM400++
Yes, hmmm...come to think of it, all selling common item.
And mostly cheap low quality made in China products.
Last time PC Fair where got people selling camera?
Now so many stall also selling camera, the same camera.
The same common items...so boring.
If camera, I might as well go to Camera Fair instead of PC fair.

I dare not buy HDD casing from Fair, HDD ok.
Bought casing last time, 3 months KO!
Nobody wants to RMA for me.
Now if I buy things from Fair I make sure they are reputable shop in Pg.

HDD cheap? I found some more expensive.
The ones selling cheap, sold out most of their stock by Sat night.
Left only 160GB, which the sales lady says tak laku anymore.
Everyone looking for bigger capacity nowadays.

Penang Fair is so boring when compare to Kuala Lumpur.
They should have more brands setting up the stall in the main hall show casing their latest innovative products, and the pasar malam stalls at the outer ring.
Just after November, you would have thought that you will get to see the new Intel processor and its mobo or some new stuff, but then, NOTHING!

summore the promoter there...all want to make sales only...doesn't even know the stuff that they're selling...
This, you are quite right.
You ask them about ISO, pixel and noise. One promoter say sorry PC Fair very noisy doh.gif
That's why camera should be restricted for PC Fair, to brands only, not every Ah Too or Ah Hwa Company blush.gif .

This time got one exception - I saw artist promoting the Wacom tablets.
But the price so much more expensive than the garage sales section, good thing or else I drool.gif and buy it! laugh.gif

I also notice all promoters start their sales pitch in Mandarin! hmm.gif
This is Penang PC fair la NOT Hong Kong or Shanghai.
Why no Hockkien, Malay or English?

I wonder makes you go and buy things from them? hmm.gif
There are already so many notices and warnings here in LYN.

hey guys, i used to go to Gadget zone... good customer service but shop got so many ppl. they recently expanded their shops in 1stop and prangin mall. i donno why they are so 'lah koo' but shop is always full.

now i go to ACTIVE LANSING... cheaper wink.gif
i bought EPSON T10 refillable cartridge from active lansing prangin mall.
wrong kind of cartridge... i went to 1stop active lansing (nearer my house) and changed it for a working one.

best customer service... go to one branch and exchange for goods in another.
i got rm10 discount somemore.
Ya, Active Lansing price are reasonable and technician is VERY good, but they mostly keep low end China products. Their Cooler Master PSU range also limited and no stock. Now only I see them stocking on Asus mobo more than Foxconn.

Gayget zone prices are slightly more higher, maybe that why they can afford to carry better quality products. I try not to buy from gayget zone as I know their mark up are high and very hard to bargain. Service sometimes good, other times bad?

I always shop at other places 1st before going to gayget zone but I dunno why I end up buying more things in that gayget zone 1stop sweat.gif sweat.gif

Hey...There is a new shop is Gat Lebuh Macallum in penang. He is a Computer Technician but doing dealer job. He is very nice person. All the price for service can be negotiate. Last time i buy laptop from him, he let me owe him money but not more...cause that time not very rich yet.. so hutang him 200++... He also say no problem. But he only do business through telephone. He will come out to meet you if u need the stock. But you need to pay him deposit first before you get the stock. You can call him Alvin 0164420614 if you need help from him.
