OK. I had a bad experience to share.
Though it's not a cam shop.
I was shopping for some PC parts to build a DIY system for my friend
Checked HWZ and pricelist and confirmed Bliss to the "cheapest" store.
We approached the shop assistant and informed him, We will be buying ALL the essentials parts from his store and hope he give us a good price.
After inquiring, he said the prices of the Mainboard and Chip on the pricelist are only true IF you get a casing from him as well.
(Always be weary of prices with an '*' as it comes with conditions)
(As most shops only insist you bundle CHIP + M/B, I was surprised)
OK, So I asked him how much is the casing. (We intend to get a cheap one to cut cost)
He quoted $120!!! He said only have this type.
Annoyed, I tactfully told him, we will look elsewhere first.
HIS reply, started to get NASTY, He said "Go elsewhere also, like that, every shop the same one, must buy together"
After hearing that, I swear I won't buy from him even if the prices are more expensive else where!!!
I refuse to pay for BAD service, even if it means a little more.
We got the same brand and model of the products at Fuwell cheaper, and they did not insist we get the casing from them.
And their casing was only $70.
The first shop not only lost ONE deal from us, but future deals, cos if my friends ever ask me to recommend them a shop to buy from, there shop will head the list of "shops to avoid".
I can't imagine that since times are Bad, shouldn't the shops treat customers better to improve business and have customers returning to them?
