@ OmniAtlas, Mr. Alby

please share with me whom you found to be clueless & wandering around...
I'd like to do something about it...
not just @ MV.. at any machines store...

Hmmm... do they wear nametag? Should ask them to wear nametag so that customers can write their name here. At one point I almost take the picture of the staff (at MV) busy playing music and using internet on the display mac instead of allowing customers to test the machine, but I think it was too much and don't want to 'tutup periuk nasi org'.

Maccity 1 Utama customer service is not as good as it used to be back 3 years ago when it was MacAsia. Maybe most of their senior sales assistants already left.

p/s: Still can't forget one of the sale assistant at machine gardens confidently telling me that mighty mouse is referring to wireless mouse which which she said is smaller that the wired mouse which she called normal mouse. laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

As an iPod reseller, I agree with ur points there mate... Malaysians are really mega-sales ppl but also darn good in asking for discounts and freebies... Many of my buyers are real bargain-seekers and sure ask for further price reduction or freebies, even though margin is not exactly high (and price is already so low!)... But what to do, to get the sale, have to accommodate their requests...

Maybe those people who asking for discounts also experiencing salary cut?

basically, its best if we do our homework 1st b4 goin to shops. so u know exactly what u want and need no need to bother abt knowledgeable or unknowledgeable staff hehe

Sometimes we also need further explanation over what we read from the internet plus a live demo with good explanation will help the buyer a lot. Like those sales person at Digital Mall, good explanation which made me end up buying 500G external hard disk even though originally I was planning to buy the 200G.

Anyway, been to Machines at 1U almost every alternate week, like their bargain/clearance section. Hope they make it permanent by putting old stock from time to time for people like me who still using old version of apple gadgets. biggrin.gif Of course also dropped by Maccity since both are in the same building. icon_rolleyes.gif

firstly this is only applicable if you have a machines membership card,and its not 10% Off,you pay the full amount and get 10% Rebate which is applicable for a secondary purchase. If you are wondering how to get a membership card,buying a minimum of an ipod shuffle would do.

The website doesn't say minimum purchase to be eligible for membership card. If I buy universal dock, am I eligible to get membership card? If can then I have to do these doh.gif cry.gif doh.gif coz I didn't ask for the membership card when I bought universal dock two days ago at 1U.

There goes the main advantage of buying from Machines as compared to Mac City. So back to square one, 'Any advanatge buying from Mac City or Machines?'
