I went to this place to buy 2 mahjong sets and a metal case.
I've been there before to buy a table as a gift for a fren. simple cheap table, the blue kind with rubber sides. i like cos the rubber is good for resting your arms. it was $40 back then. cash and carry price. now the price has gone up to $45
Im also aware of their 2 bad reviews in their Facebook page. said aunty gave bad service, especially after sales service. it was her whom I bought my table from.
on this occasion when I bought 2 sets, I was served by a younger tall guy. I found that he is a bit niao. when he was serving another man, I was looking at his tables and I shifted one out to see. so I pulled one table out. then he asked me what I want. I replied, I want to look at tables, can I see?
then he said that he's afraid I'll topple his table. I never said anything. just ignore and continue myself.
anyway, when he was done with that customer, he attended to me, answered my queries about the tables. they have a few nice tables and their prices are lower than outside. cos they do distribution
so I bought my 2 sets of tiles and a metal box. I tried to inspect meticulously as much as I could, but I could only do so much cos the tiles were dirtied by some dirt outside the plastic wrapping and ink (from the colouring of the engraving) inside the wrapping. so I cannot distinguish which one is dirt and which one is defects.
I brought it down to my car, inspected more..... saw what I dont like.
brought it up to his unit (its a industrial building), he buffed and cleaned the defects for me. but later I found another one with defects so I went back again. he was like, impatiently told me to just take another set, which was what I had in mind. so i chose another design and swiftly left. a bit cheesed off by his behaviour. in the end, I left with a set which I didnt intend to buy.
but still, it was better with owning a set which was defected and gave me the 没有远 feeling. later i keep losing with this set how? LOL
also, when a couple came in to beo mj sets... they removed one wrapped stack from his display cabinet to beo. later he quickly took it off their hands. he said he was afraid the wrapper gave way and they would drop the tiles....... *rolls eyes*
do note that all this time I made it a point to talk very gently and polite and meek. i dunno WTF i did that, maybe it was because of his tall stature and behaviour? I could have just suan-ed him and walked away.
IMO, they're only interested in doing big biz, like serving clients who buy a few sets or buy their machine tables or doing distribution. not keen on walk in clients who spend only $100+
PLUS, after cleaning all the tiles at home meticulously, I found that one of my tiles have a permanent dot at the side of the tile. so its quite easy to identify what tile it is. I'll either have to go back and maybe get him to buff it out using his buffing machine or maybe just use the spare tile and engrave a new one, which I am afraid would look different from the original ones cos sometimes the ink used have a different colour tone.
my recommendation is,
if anyone isnt fussy about their tiles and tables, can go to them to just buy and go. but if u want to inspect every square inch on your tile and tables for defects.... better go elsewhere and pay a bit more
*oops. i just realised I repeated what I've typed before
