yes, that's the name.......
i'm surprised that no one in this forum ever talks about this shop.
everyone wants to talk about those so called 'famous' shops that we all know..... CP, AP, OP, John, blah blah.....
i happened to stumble upon this shop tat day and they are really friendly.
in fact, they taught me more than any one of those 'famous' shops..
i wanted to look for a simple thing such as a lens cap with string.
i went to Funan AP. the guy just asked what size i want, and he just quoted me $xx, and looked away..... in the first place, he never asked me what cam i'm using so that he can make sure he's selling the correct size to me.
in fact, i was wrong in the size i wanted, as i found out later....... this AP really bo chap..... what if i really buy from him? can i come back to change???
2nd shop i went was Bally. now this guy is better. he actually asked wat cam i'm using, and he corrected me in the size. so he's good. but his price is not cheaper than what i know. so i didnt buy from him.
3rd shop i went was John. John was so crowded..... now i know why its so crowded...... coz the sales guys talk **** too much to the customers..... this is not a good customer service. its a nice friendly gesture to talk to customers. but if he spends too much time talking ****, then its not good. it affects sale $$
and i see some customers just stand at the counter, looking at some catalogues and just talking **** with the sales guy. and that sales guy is attending to another customer.
then i went to this 4th shop, SLR Revo. the shop got no customers. i just went in and just asked abt the lens cap. not only they asked about wat cam i'm using, their price is so much cheaper.... i REALLY mean REALLY CHEAPER.... its 60% CHEAPER....
the only thing is that the lens caps got the cam brands on it and my camera brand is not one of them.... hahaha... so i hesitanted abt this........
so this guy recommended another option for me, which i bought it... and it only costs me $2. Even cheaper than the lens caps....
i started to talk to him and ask him abt UV filters.... he explained to me abt the different ranges of UV filters and why some are cheap, why some are so expensive....
then we talked abt cam bags and he explained abt some bags' features compared to other brands.....
i left the shop with such good feelings. and i wondered why no one in forum ever talked abt them........
AP, CP, OP, MS and whatever 'famous' shops are not the only ones in the world........
i'm sure that if you talked to SLR Revo nicely, they can match the prices that these 'famous' shops are quoting, and you get a much more friendlier attitude.
