I went to Cathay Photo today to buy a UR-E8, lens adapter. I agree with the price and they have 2 pieces left. Those who often visit CP one will know that now they have a new system to double check the invoice by another salesperson. I was so lucky that the Q.C was the manager of CP. SH|T! He told the salesperson who was entertaining my buys that they cannot sell me the adapter!:angry:
The reason he provided is that they have tons of teleconverters and wideangle converters in the display. Therefore, they would like to keep these adapters for those who want to buy these converters because some of the converters' buyers complain that it is quite difficult to find UR-E8. He insisted that if I want the UR-E8, I must buy converter also!
I tried to talk to him, ask him, beg him and even plead to him, yet he refused to buy me!:angry: Isn't that the things are in the display? Is it today is Weekend that I wear so simple that he refused to sell me the adapter? I thought CP is famous for nice service ? (without products?) so weird. I want to buy and he prohibited me from buying, how the world has been changed? Or I am living in the cave so far? The thing is that I agree with the price and they have spare, why don't they sell me that? This is the first time I encounter this kind of "weird" problem.
I also told the manager that I can get the UR-E8 in local. And I know that it was out of stock once. Nevertheless, I said I can get the UR-E8 in local just that I need some time to find it. In the extreme case, I can order it online. Now, he challenged me to buy online! If not I think it is not worth the money, I will straight order one in front of him! &^)(&)*&)&)$#@#. Furthermore, he said that I CANNOT find any in local! He also said that he will call me when the new stock of UR-E8 is coming? Do you think I will trust him? He didn't even jot down my phone number, how can he call me? For the MB-E5700 I also left my phone number to them. Guess what? they never call me! It was luckily that I found the news from hardwarezone, then I quickly asked them (CP) to reserve one piece for me (5 pieces gone within half day!). This kind of service, I wonder why a lot of people still want to go there?
I was very frustrated by this kind of services. So far, recently I just spent more than few hundreds in their shops. (Maybe to them few hundreds is just nothing to other genuine expensive stuffs?) I trust them therefore I always go back there. Not now.
Guess what? Right after I stepped out CP, I saw a lot of shops selling UR-E8. But they quoted me around S$30~S$40 and they claimed that their ones are genuine one.
Not until I went to John 3:16, that I gathered the information that a new batch of UR-E8 will be arrived soon!
Wait until that time I will see what the stubborn "old man" has to say.:devil:
Anyone has some bad encounter in CP? Speak out here and you will feel better.
Isn't the golden rule that says,"Customer is always right?" I did nothing wrong what? I agree with their price, and they have the thing, why I cannot buy it? Just to make fun of me? I know money is not Everything, but I don't seen the point.
what do you think? waited 6 months for MB-E5700, and wait another 3 months for UR-E8?
