MS Color :thumbsd:
I wanted to buy SpeedLite 420EX; lady boss says will come in on Thursday...Thursday comes and go, still no 420EX. Lady boss say next week...week passed by still don't have...lady boss say wait for another week...do you think I'll wait forever...in the end, went to CP, pay and start using...
I will never ever go back to MS Color...

That seems to be more of a supplier issue, which is beyond retailers' control - retailers can order, but sometimes delivery would be late.

I don't totally agree with your notion that it's considered basic courtesy - rather, that's a form of value-added service. They do provide notification services though, if you leave them your contact no. and request to be informed when stocks arrive, NOT when stocks do not arrive. Even that is a bonus to the customers, not a duty that is bound to the retailers. I wouldn't like to imagine the responsibility of making hundreds or even thousands of calls just to inform people (many of whom aren't genuine buyers) that stocks did not arrive when the retailers failed to make a punctual delivery.
Ah.. now I remember why your nick sounds familiar - you PMed me once to ask me to reserve my G5 for u.

hmm...i did have a chat with them once on this and from what i understand it was not intentional. when a product is launched, it is sold a a certain RRP. sometimes the manufacturer/agent (eg. canon) will drop the RRP after a period of time. every once is a while, this does not get communicated to shops like ms color and they only find out when the customer asks or complains. there have been such cases brought up in previous threads and i believe they were resolved by ms color quite quickly. maybe ms needs to put in some effort to keep up to date on the RRPs but the thing is if you encounter such a situation, dont hesitate to approach mr & mrs loh. i'm sure they will fix it up in no time.

Sorry to intrude into this thread, but as I read, all the above shops have good and bad points. Some say go shop A, some say shop A suck... Really confused..
I am a newbie, just came back to SG after a 2-month absence, and I want to buy a D70 kit. Where is a reputable shop to go? And look for who?
Perhaps some kind soul can help? Heard price ard 1750 w GST. Is this true that it has dropped so much?

Ditto...
If you want a once-off-cheapest-deal-hit-and-run shop, then go knocking on all the shops mentioned and get it from wherever u'll get the best price... ;p
But personally, I've got lots of great deals from MS Colors for the past 5 years. Once in a while, I might find that I'm actually paying marginally higher prices (in quantums of $20+-), but I know that I'm getting far better deals by building on my relationship with them in the long run...

Guys, where is TCW? Thanks!
As a previous poster had said, it's not just the store, but also who you are dealing with at the store. John 3:16 was ok, somewhat helpful, but very professional, that is important. Now, I buy almost all my "toys" from Sally at Cathy Peninsula Plaza. Those that I don;t get from her, I usually get from the States.
