TP peng prata on regards to their price?

[royfrosty]

Actually, I am not sure why TS wants to complain. Did anyone ever said TP's price must be cheapest in SLS?

If the guy don't offer discount & it is not the best price, then just walk away & buy from other shop who offer the best price.
If the guy don't offer discount & it is still the best price, then just take it & leave.

Precisely.... You might never know they will pull you back and tell you nevermind no extra charge.

I'm not really sure about this logic. Quite often I don't check the invoice and just pay the amount they calculate without looking at the breakdown - in this case it seems that TS didn't know he was paying FULL price until he happened to see the invoice.

I guess you could say it's your daiji if you don't check the invoice, but still!

I didn't complain about TP not being the cheapest or what, but they play stunt about their mb+cpu bundle price.

Worst stunt is after they totaled up the price and gave me discount (quoted me $620 instead of $690) I looked in the invoice and my casing isn't included in. That was after I paid them.

I asked about it and the guy was like 'walao you never say earlier' despite me stated the casing as my first item and he repeated back to me earlier. This kind of act blur and push blame is intolerable, peng prata so fast

it worked before for me.

Is it a fat tall local Indian guy with hair? I noticed the last time I went he very stingy with the discount also. I think he also tried to chop me on the CPU price and act blur. i5 3330 and mobo can quote $376 when the combo with i5 3340 is only $353, WTF. The others are nowhere near as stingy, not even the skinny bald boss. The fat bald boss with spectacles most generous one, but haven't seen him in a while.

TP price may be dirt cheap but they also plays a lot of tricks and you should be always alert with your items received and the cash handed out. always count them before and after. dont hand over your cash easily, dont go in if that day you feel sleepy.

other method, just go PCT and ask can price match, not many shops can price match TP to be honestly, not sure how TP conduct their business. you still will pay below pricelist prices if you can nego with PCT on a weekday.

I've bought M/b and CPU "bundle only from TP and have gotten the price on the pricelist.


But if now no longer the case, I will just hoot from Amazon. Save all the trouble. RMA also top notch. Amazon will send a replacement immediately. Only caveat is the shipping. But still cheaper than TP.

You can get cpu and mobo from amazon cheaper than local?

 

[chaoswar]

Best is to know the pricing b4 going there buy,they quote me a higher price on my 1000w psu and my graphic card.
Give me a discount ,make it look like big discount
At last i buy at fuwell that give me the same discount price as tp

Wth? Nowadays bundled Cpu/mobo price doesn't means that you will get that price if you get the cpu+mobo together? Still need to get the whole system?

They shld have put whole system bundled price instead...

This does not happen to just TP. Places like VideoPro/Best Price/Best Buy/Bizgram all will tell you the same thing.

But among all TP even add $20-$30 also still cheaper than the rest of the shops.

Bo Bao de. if ex by 20-30 might loose to PCT/mynextcom

Given that kind of situation i will by at pc theme to build relationship

 

[weione]

Actually i feel is see how you talk your way through at TP.
For me, i build 2 rig on the same day and no problems. Quite good pricing too

Still cheaper by $10-15 depends on brands.

Futrthermore if you buy from tp still can haggle. Pc themes to me sometimes can haggle. But still quite ex if you get everything.

Cant just look at mobo and cpu pricing only. Must check every component pricings.

Things like gpu tp is selling almost $30-$40 difference.

Things like aio cooler. Laylong pricing sia. $20-$30 off.

Things like ram and hdd around the same price.

Chassis also easily $10-$20 difference.

Although i agree their service may be fked up. But i hack their service standard and just grab and go.

I had a situation before when i was shopping for a mobo+cpu. PCT was a little more ex than TP after polosoh. I went with PCT

The week after i go buy from PCT again, cos they are the only ones that sell haswell xeon. yilong jitao give me discount before i say anythiing.

sometimes it depends de la. the sinkie ahneh in TP not so frenly. the other boss easier to negotiate but maybe cos I've been buying there for yrs and i think he recognised me

Well the PC market is getting slow and business are bad as compare 4 year ago.

For those retailer who decided to flip prata and act atas by not offering a reasonable price to customer. Just go another shop or purchase online.

SLS is not as crowded as before. Remember I use to wait for 1 hour to order my part and pay them. Now weekend the most you wait 10 mins.

Depends on how much you can save by getting your hardware from 'this' shop. Sometimes if the price is too low something is wrong also.

Selective m/b and CPU. Usually the higher end ones. Go do your homework and work it out. Hee! Cheers bro...


I do not want to put links to Amazon and get flamed for referral links. My reputation as one of the founding members at HWZ is of utmost importance.

I've said this before many times, anything except CPU+mobo, any shop can undercut TP. A matter of your face/rep with the respective shop.

TP staff see their mood and whether they like your face on the day your buy stuff. If they good mood and suka your face, can even get cpu+mobo price without getting a complete set
