Even if the shop don open opposite, customer will still walk to AP or CP to purchase if they can't wait.. So i don't think the impact will be as great. Maybe if we see reaction done by John 316 like additional staff or opening on Sun.. then that might show he is affected and wan to take back his share of customers.
We'll just wait and see, and enjoy the gd service and attractive price from SLR Revo while we can.

Then, they might have to change their name...
today i went down and talked to Jason Lin (HP 97285550) the Sales Manager of SLR Revolution. Asked about the price of original Canon batteries. They are selling at $110 compared to $30 or so less than the other shops. The cost of 3rd party batteries is around $10+ compared to $2x and $3x from the other shops. The price they quota for the 28 f.2 ($310) and 24 1.8 ($542) are also very very competitive than the other shops. Good service even when the shop was very clouded.

I was quite skeptical about all the "good" things about them until I stepped in and ended up with my nephew buying a system from Jason this noon. Price is reasonable n service is good.
Hope they can and will keep with their level of customer service and most importantly, their competitive prices.

Went today and ask about 500D battery, quoted $75 (compared to the neighbor I bought at $85)
Tamrac Velocity 9x bag they don't have but called to check the price for me anyway even after I told them I'ved already bought it and is just asking the price. They quoted $85. Sim Lim selling at $95.
Argh! :sweat:
Items they don't carry, they would recommend alternative shops, even next door (step-down rings, Cokin filters, Benro tripods, etc).
Overall, :thumbsup:

Well, I think there are too many people who go into shops to try for fun. Who is going to buy the lenses after their contact points get scratched up due to repeated mounting? So if I were the shop, I will also say that you try only if you are confirmed buying.
If you want to try out a lens, go to the Canon or Nikon showroom, not at an AD

The showrooms have a limited selection of lenses...
If you truly want to test, go rent. There is no free lunch

Haha... They can always offer to help me mount the lens or even use their own dslr (same as my model), if they are afraid that I may scratch their contact points. It all about Customer Service (which I think they LACK). :bsmilie:
For your info, I had all the intention to buy the lens from them if I found it acceptable. I had shopped and purchased items in OP, MS, CP, AP-SLS & PS-HV all without such a rude response. Some I was even serve drinks when I was testing the equipments (I think most who shopped there know where I am referring)
So far, AP-FUNAN, is the only camera shop that I had been that had such Attitude issues... :thumbsd:

AP-Funan has really rubbish service. If you ask the bald guy for the price of an item, he'll just tell you the price without looking at you. Totally no mood to buy after experiencing this level of service:thumbsd:
Well at least he helps you to save money:thumbsup:

Ok Ok :bsmilie: noted. I have also been there before, but always walked out because it is always quite crowded and they don't seem to have time for me ...

I agree that this shop is a worthy contender in terms of customer service and pricing.
When I bought my sb600. Among all shop in funan and peninsula, they are the only shop who sells the cheapest about 375 I think.

Like I mention before, I went there on a Sunday after lunchtime. There wasn't many customer at that time and some of the "shopkeepers" in AP-FUNAN was relatively quite free then. If I have to wait for them to "serve" me I am alright with that, but it's not the case and it the remarks that got me so workout.
That the reason why I say that they have Attitude issue there. :thumbsd:
