do ur own checking. goin to this above mentioned store... is not in the best of interest if u're not that seasoned a shopper.


i recommend buying Billingham bags from X-Boundaries in The Adelphi. honest and sincere. good pricing too.

I know this shop! Never went back to them again. Not the friendliest of folks and with their prices, I doubt they get a lot of repeat local customers.

Cheers,

k-13 marketing....

rude n expensive stuff. the son (richard, i think) quotes murderously high prices with a scorn. extremely rude. he seems to have no idea at all about customer service and they don't seem interested in repeat business, only a quick kill. heaven help you if you enter n then leave without buying! spend your hard-earned money elsewhere: it's not his ah kong's money that you're spending.

caveat emptor!

hmm fortunately for me, I'd a rather okay experience with K-13 (though I didn't buy).

Both father and son actually served me, opened different billingham bags for me to inspect and stuff. They seem like nice people, overly nice till they quote their prices haha. It's about $70-100 more than where everywhere else is selling. And the worst part is, they don't include shoulder pads! So real careful guys.

Still, I just politely said this is a very expensive bag, I've to consider. The father said in chinese, 'no problem' and smiled. Son smiled too. So customer service wise, I think they are pretty fine (my experience lah).

Anyway I got mine from my fave retailer John 3:16, told 'em what I want, and got it the very next day.
