Got to say this before I leave Singapore for a tour, I'm pretty impressed by MS Color (Ang Mo Kio)'s customer service.
I bought my A70 during the first week it is released in Singapore in April and after the 1st few days, I realised that there's a dead pixel in the LCD of the A70. Also some dust appeared on the inside of the LCD glass after a week or two.
I have exams in NTU for the month of April and early May and I stay in hostel practically for that entire exam period, unable to go down to Ang Mo Kio again for the change (travelling time will take around 4 hrs to and fro), I did not go down to MSColor for exchange or called them up.
A month later after my exams, I went down to MS Color for help, explaining my situation. The staff there are very friendly and readily tried to help me. This is real customer service because they have already got my money for the a70 and could have easily turn me away saying it has already been a month, too late for them to do anything. But they didn't.
They asked me to try calling canon direct whether canon can do anything to help, but the canon enginer after consulting with his manager said that dead pixels as long as it is less than 0.01% is within specs. That means upto 0.01% x 78000(A70 LCD) = 7~8 deadpixels on your brand new LCD is acceptable! ;(
Anyway, I went back to MS Color and they agreed to help as a dealer by sending my a70 in to canon for a underwriting, but after 2 weeks canon has not got back to them regarding the camera. I told the staffs that I'm going on a trip today and I need my camera on the trip. The boss (Mr Low I think) decided to take one of their own new stock to replace mine. Now that's customer centric service and I'm happy with my new flawless a70
A big thanks to all the friendly staffs there for their help, eps Mr Low, Florence and a young man (didn't ask for his name). :thumbsup:
BTW, I'm not working for MS Color or anything, it's just one satisfied customer wanting to show his appreciation for good service rendered.
