DO NOT BUY FROM THUNDER MATCH or its Branches
Guys,
Just a note to all who wanted to ANYTHING at all from Thunder Match @ Lowyat or any of its branches, My advise is DO NOT buy from Thunder Match as their customer service is really piece of shit.
Incident:
1. Bought a Checkplate laptop bag from Thunder Match. 2. The bag is faulty and damaged my shirt. 3. Accepted 1st time to swap bag. 4. Within 1 month, bag got problem again, they PROMISED to exchange it with another brand of my choosing. 5. When i arrived to change, they REFUSED to honour their agreement made by their MANAGER 6. If it happen to me for a laptop bag, it will happen to you, PERIOD!
Update:
1. Met Checkplate guy during PC Fair. 2. Great guy and explained that he only aware of this incident via this post. 3. He immediately offer to exchange my bag with any model i like, no question asked. 4. I am happy with Checkplate now.

Which part of the bag that is damaged and somehow damage your property? I have been using this same bag for many months and so far it has been good. Maybe you should go back to CheckerPlate's mother company, the manufacturing company. I learn that their mother company is the Swan company making school bags. CheckerPlate is a brand for their new product. They have a website to entertain enquiries and complaints. I suggest you head there. http://www.checker-plate.com/

I tried to call their general line for >7 working days, no one pick up the phone. Regardless who made the bag, it is not performing as it should.

I got a file from Checker-Plate as a freegift from Pikom. LOL... If you want to invest in a good quality bagpack, I recommend Targus!

The metal lining came out as shown in pics after less than 1 month and it too wrecked my shirt & pants! And the contact number on their website...might as well speak to a wall. AVOID THIS BAG!!! & warn your friends. (Yes, I'm pissed after paying RM290 for it!  )

totaly agree! dont buy checkerplate
it's a idiot brand with poor quality + poor design engineering!
without laptop, it weights like a rock!
i really feel like local brand thing is really lousy.
i cant get their email add, cant give them feedback thru mail! i hope the checkerplate representative is here to read about the review of their product

the website is quite impressive.. the cheapest for blowgun is around RM 250 which is rather expensive for locally made bag. they claim u can fit everything except for kitchen sink + tearproof + made from 900d polyester so, how come urs tear easily..maybe that one is pirated one..that's why they sell it to you for onli 120..hohoh..

QUOTE(tan1975 @ Aug 3 2008, 06:05 AM) Guys, Just a note to all who wanted to buy Checker Plate notebook/laptop bag. My advise is DO NOT to buy this brand as the built quality is shit and their dealer whom i bought it from, Thunder Match Technology S/B based in Low Yat is giving me shit customer service as well. Bought this bag (model: Blowgun) in Apr 2008 PC fair, within a month it is already broken (refer to pic 4) in the process its damaged my shirt as well. Accepted new replacement bag, however it is broken again with the same problem within 1 month!! Attempt to ask for an exchange to another brand, was flat out refused and given tons of excuses by Thunder Match. Me too....Juz buy a Checker Plate brand last few month. Very very bad quality...Some more no price control.  sell half price in PC fair....shit la...i buy at normal price....what a stupid marketing plan.....

Hmm it looks like a rip off from Crumpler's line of bag. I got the original Crumpler, was quite expensive, but it has already lasted me a year+ without any trouble (except it looks dirty only) Used it to travel for my project sites last time, went to Saud and Dubai so many times with it
