After completing the so called registration, they made the... More

I had planned to purchase a Sony interchangeable lens for my Sony Nex cam that is retailed at $1199 at Sony outlets (current promo at around $1080 after their 10% discount). I thought that I could get a lower price in Sim Lim Square by negotiating for better price, so decided to try my luck there. After browsing a few... More

This problem is not unique to singapore, its prevalent everywhere in the world. But in Singapore, this place is simply notorious. Take it... More

I think I am... More

The salesman will talk nicely to you to convince you to buy from their shop with free gifts like casing & screen protector. So after discussing I agree to pay SGD 666 for two same... More

I recently went to Singapore for work matters and leisure purposes. I stayed in Bugis area as I wanted to do some shopping, mainly for electronics. My advice is STAY AWAY FROM THE FIRST THREE FLOORS of this place. Don't even bother talking to the sales people as they are very rude. They expect YOU to tell the price. And... More
