Default Price quote of Ixus 400

Hi to all,

call up Cathay Photo ($790), Alan Photo (780) and MS Colour (780) for their quotation of the Ixus 400. All come in standard package and one free piece of 128mb card.

Just want to ask all of you, are the prices competitive?

Should I do more homework or can I just go and buy it from one of the shops?

Appreciate any advice.
Thank You

you can try getting an equote from them first, if you are not in a hurry.

Thanks for the replies.

I have emailed AP and Cathay but so far no response from them. The quotes I got were over the phone.

How long do they usually take to respond to emails quote?

Thank you

Within 3-4 working days, any longer than that means you've been ignored.

John 3:16 (Funan IT Mall #03-07) selling it for $800 w/GST. Comes with a free case which you'd eventually buy anyway unless you want to scratch your IXUS. And they are at Funan, which is where you'll have to claim the 128MB card by this saturday anyway.

try faxing MS Color the request for quote, seems to be faster. The fax number is on their webpage.

on the contrary, my e-quote experiences with all of them have placed ms color as the most expeditious. AP is by far the worst, been frequently ignored by them.

Have just receive an e-quote from MS Colour.

$745 w/o GST.
free 128mb card
free leather case.

Any comments?
Personally think it is a good deal. So should be getting it tonight.
BTW, is Funan the only place I can get the free 128mb card?

Thank you
