Dont ever set your foot into Lucky Plaza, it is a mine field inside. Many people died trying.

get an equote from cathay then go and buy. beats lucky plaza anytime wher eu never know if they will swipe ur accessories or give u returned set or donno what else.

Yes I agree. There have been too many bad reports of such cases happening in Lucky Plaza, it would be wise not to step in there.

Apart from the 3 stores mentioned, you can also visit John 3:16 in Funan IT Mall.

It is going for under 1100 w/gst

mario u can try to call up mscolor to get a phone quote first. of course internet equote is still the cheapest, but the differences between phone and equote is very small (sometimes nil)as what i observed from my past experiances with mscolor.

Find their service frenly and quote reasonably. my experiance though, for cathay photo i prefer the peninsular branch and not the other one, also based on personal experiances, might differ person to person?

My experience confirmed me that MSColor is 20% more expensive than Cathay Photo.
