Seeking Advice

francbs — Thu, 10 Nov 2016 08:49:37 +0800

Hi,

I am from Kuching and currently i am encounter some problem with my bedroom set with mattress for wedding on 18th Nov 2016.

I make my purchase with partial payment on the April 2016 and i inform them that i need the thing late of October. The company has few branches in Malaysia.

On the Aug 2016, i received a call from the person in charge of Kuching asking whether can they deliver the said furniture earlier. I inform them u can only deliver to me in the beginning of Nov 2016. Since they intent to make a booking for delivery from their headquarter over, i purposely go over to reconfirm my item list. there i was inform that the company will be undergoing change of ownership but all the previous order will still be process. Any claims will still able to go thru them. Luckily i go there and i was able to double confirm my stuff as some stuff like the design not clear to them.

On end of Sept 2016, a girl from Kuching call up to reconfirm the my order and also ask me when they can deliver. i say the same beginning of Nov 2016 and i also whatsapp her my design that i purchase for her to reconfirm.

On end Oct 2016, i msg her to ask about my order. She say will arrived by mid of Nov 2016. I highlight that i inform them i need it by beginning of Nov 2016 and not middle of Nov 2016. As u know in Chinese culture, u need to adjust the bed in correct order on special day. i did inform that the latest by 10th Nov. Then she say she will arrange to deliver other customer's furniture which is the same to me as some of them have not yet collect. I was fine with that as long my thing come and it is new. She did mention there is a delay due to hq not releasing the container because it is not full.

Since Nov, i been follow up with her to make sure my furniture arrived in time. Last week, she say some part might not able to make it but she will on loan for me to use and when it arrived, she will then exchange. I tell her that it is troublesome and she did mention try to check with new management as the new company will bring in furniture from same supplier.

Now... , all the item will be borrow but the dressing table is not available. they check and only find a mirror and not the table. There is no others to on loan for it and the new company sell off most of the furniture they have for roadshow last weekend.

The girl did mention, she did try to talk to management of the old company about customer complain and the solution is either to wait or refund.

So my problem come.
1. Furniture incomplete for my wedding date.
2. April until Now ... Retail price of the furniture has gone up (i purchase during promotion) ... I bought my set with furniture around 6.5k and now i ask around for equivalence quality around 7.5-8.5k. Roadshow just finish and now no sales going on
3. Mostly of the shop now only got demo set. A few got set that they arrived and display during roadshow.
4. Room design, i did some simple matching on computer desktop and bookshelf to match it. So now , have to find new set different might be different.

I have call the person previously in charge in Kuching and now waiting for the solution.

I wish to seek advice, whether is it able to ask for compensation beside refund. , if not i will need to fork out extra just to get my set for the mistake they make.

Thanks in advance

Exora vs Wish (2008) vs Wish (2009)

francbs — Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:54:55 +0800

I am comparing between Exora Prime vs wish (2008) vs wish (2009).

Exora Prime = RM9+k
Wish (2008) = RM90k on the road
Wish (2009) = RM1++k

What is the advantage over one another? Comfort, Fuel Efficiency, Resell value?

Appreciate all the comment on the above or any other recommendation. Btw i am from Kuching, some car is hard to get good servicing.

Thanks
