Hi guys, this is just a gentle reminder / warning to you who want to buy from this store which I think is not too trustworthy.
Today, I decided to buy a Nikon lens 85 1.8G from parisilk and gave them a call (bedok branch because the Holland village branch never picked up my phone calls) and talked to this guy , his name is HAKIM. And he asked me, do you want to buy? And I said “YES, I do”. And he quoted me “600 dollars BY CASH including GST and everything and 2% extra if you pay by credit card” and I said okay fine, I will take it. I asked him, can you send it to HOLLAND VILLAGE? Since its closer to my place and he said “no problem, sir”. He told me he would call me back if the lens has been sent and then 2 hours later , he called me “okay sir, this lens is ready and you can collect it today in Holland village”. I left my name and contact no and basically WE HAD A DEAL!!
And so tonight, I withdrew my money and went there and I was so shocked. The staff said “we got no 85 1.8G”. However, I said “ I talked to hakim few hours ago and he told me that I can pick it up here. And all of the sudden, the girl came from behind and gave the sales guy the NIKON 85 1.8G and she said “FROM HAKIM, BLA BLA BLA (in INDIAN LANGUAGE) 599 dollars”. And the guy HOLDING THAT LENS BOX and turned to me and said “the price has gone up, its not 599, its 629 dollars”.
He Did not even say “SORRY SIR, ETC” or even looked guilty and just looked at me like I was a fool then, and AHA, at that point, I just knew what kind of garbage I was dealing with here” and so I asked him if I could talk to HAKIm (THE Person who had a deal with me) and he called the bedok branch and he said , oh HAKIM is busy. You can try to reach him again in the next 15 minutes or so.
WAKAKAKAKAA, are you kidding me here??? I was very angry and I flipped. I told him to GIVE ME THE CORRECT QUOTE NEXT TIME. And I wasted my time to get here for what??? And he just shook his head and WALKED AWAY FROM ME. My jaw dropped and I didn’t know what to say. He didn’t even bother give me explanation.
And so 20 minutes later, I was very curious and called HAKIM and he picked up and I asked for his explanation, he said “I gave you a wrong price”. My cost has gone up to 590 bucks, so I cant sell it to you at 599. If you want, you can pay 599 + 7%GST which makes it around 642 bucks. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?? Are you seriously that stupid??? You gave the customer wrong quote?? And the sales guy in holland village quoted me 629???
AND actually for yall record who don’t know about this lens price. This lens is retailed around 590-610 in Funan. Some stores even sold it for less than 590 (pay by cash ofcourse).However, the lens is fairly new and so only few stores has it , I guess. So I think what he is trying to do here is to SQUEEZE my dollars out / rip me off a bit here after he agreed to sell it on 599 ??? WTH.
Finally , Hakim put me on hold and then got this guy to talk to me and then he said “ I am very sorry but I cant sell that lens to you because ITS OUT OF STOCK!” wakakakkakaa, and I told him “I just got back from your store”. Are you trying to lie to me? And he banged the phone and hung up on me.
This is gonna be THE LAST TIME I shop here and I am seriously turned off by this store. IF they can do this little disgusting thing like this, WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY CAN possibly do in a grand scale? Hahahahhaa, GOODBYE stupid untrustworthy PARISILK.
My complaints are :
1) We had a deal and this is WITHIN THE SAME DAY and even just FEW HOURS ( we are not talking about DIFFERENT business DAY) and he just bailed on customer just like that??? This is SERIOUSLY RETARDED SERVICE. Did he even consider that I wasted my time to go there ?
2) The guy who talked to me DID NOT even say SORRY / give explanation to me as a customer EVEN ONCE!!!. This is seriously one of the offensive things to do here.
For those of you who are looking to buy cameras, etc from them, BE WARNED!! I don’t think they are very honest here. And the service is horrible imho. I would say, just buy from Funan (nicer place , airconditioned, etc) than walk all the way down there. I feel very stupid today. And never trust what they told you!! there is definitely no customer service from this retarded store.:angry:
