Very poor service from Alan Photo, Funan
- Thread starter kaiflux
- Start date
Must say I'm very surprised by all the bad experiences here. Bought a P&S from them some years back and was a pleasant experience. Checked out the G3 a few weeks ago and it was also ok - I was clearly there just to touch and see, not to buy. The lady (boss?) was friendly and even entertained me again when I went back after lunch.
Alan photo prices can be quite competitive sometimes, especially the Sim Lim one. But you need to ask the right person, and make sure that you have done your homework. Just buy what you have researched, and don't buy any additional things (eg. filters) which you have not researched on.

I agree. My experience in AP is not very nice. Somehow their face very black when you go into the shop and service like robots. The one I went to was at Funan. Was quite put off by their attitude so I left. In comparison, SLRR and J316 service level is much higher.
One "friendly" store in Funan takes some stocks from Alan as well.

Haha that's why I don't step into their shop anymore. Not sure about the Sim Lim branch but I would just assume "same same" and go Orient Photo straight.
Funan got liek TK, SLRR, John... all known reputable shop..... but you have to choose to go Alan...... wanna go Alan, visit the SLS one lar.... I neber step into Alan Funan.... the face they give you is like you own them $$$ like that..... 
.... Alan at SLS I got Sales fella I always go to... so service is okay....

Theres this brown hair uncle in AP, I feel that he is the friendliest in the shop, the rest will only start to stand up and serve when Caucasians step into their shop. I feel that slrr offers very good service. They are always patient and ready to answer all queries. John316 seems abit fake though.

Up for slrr
Is SLR Revolution an Authorised Nikon Dealer? Wanted to buy there today because their prices better but never see their name on the Nikon website so I buy from TK Foto instead...

Bally photo is in the list but not SLR is I assume SLR take stock from Bally photo?
It is a well known fact that one of the registered owners of SLRR is also a registered owner of Bally Photo. And IIRC, also a registered owner of 13 camera shops in total. All their stuff is legit.
