Alright... Recently had a fierce conversation with singnet about the contract i sign during PC show 2010... It will be a god dam nice story... Sit back and relax.
16-June: Went to PC show and saw singtel offer for me. 10Mbps home broadband + a lenovo newest laptop. Monthly subscription is 69.90. Hmm not bad. Went to queue up and finally reach my turn. The salesgirl over the counter ask for my i/c blah blah blah. Before i sign the contract,
i asked the salesgirl When will i receive the premium(Laptop)? She said that i will receive a letter for me to collect my laptop, around
7-14 days.
17-24... waited. Today: Postman knocked. YAY. a letter from singtel. Once i open up, It says that i can only collect my lappy on the 14-JULY. i was like? WTFish? So long. The salesgirl said that 7-14day i can get my lappy. suddenly changed to the 14-JULY. Called singtel and straight away asked for the manager in charge. Because i was totally upset about singtel services, i wanted to cancel on my subscription plan...
The conversation was:
Singtel's stuff: Hi i'm blah blah from singtel may i help you.
Me: Can i talk to your manager in-charge?
Singtel's stuff: Wait a moment *Music*
-
Singtel's stuff: Hi i'm blah blah de manager in-charge
Me: Hi, i'm Mr koh and i would like to cancel my subscription.
Singtel's stuff: Alright, can i have your i/c and phone number. *Music*
-
Singtel's stuff: Hi mr koh, sorry to keep you waiting. But sorry, your plan is a brand new plan which hasn't passed a month. The cancellation fee with be quite heavy.
Me: Its ok, how much wil it be.
Singtel's stuff: Cancellation free will be 171.20 + the premium(Lappy), And that will be around $1300
Me: Erm... I didn't even got my lappy and yet you want me to pay for the lappy? What kind of service is that?
Singtel's stuff: Sorry sir, according to the T/C, when you cancel, you have to pay for the premium(Lappy) too.
Me: You still don't get what i mean? I don't HAVE the lappy with me. Its says my collection date is 14-july while YOUR staff on the PC shows tells me is within 7-14 days.
Singtel's stuff: -Silent- Alright. What we can do know is, i contact lenovo and see whether i can push the lappy for you for early collection ASAP.
Me: Now i don't want the lappy and YOUR services. I want to cancel the subscription.
~~~ Still got more argument... But not related to topic.
The main point is that... Singtel wants me to pay for the lappy when i didn't even have not collected/received it.
What do you think?
Is there logic behind this?
I'm willing to pay the cancellation fee of 171.20. But not the 1300 for the lappy.
