So whatever price Im quoted, if I pay by cash, I pay exact amount.
If I pay by NETS, I end up paying 2% more? So the 2% more is stated on my receipt?

Wow, never noticed that.
This is always stated on most price lists... :s22:

Sometimes it is very difficult not to use nets as if I want to buy all the parts to build a PC on the same day, POSB withdrawal limit is only $1.000 and nets limit is $2,000 daily. Most of the time, I need to get 2 cash withdrawal on 2 separate days, not to mention the risk of being rob after withdrawal...haha...

That's why buy online best, pay credit card no extra change still price much better than SLS best prices.

You know you can change the withdrawal limits?

I believe most shops are nett priced. If you build a system and tell them you are paying by cash, the shops will give a cash discount, otherwise you just pay that nett price using NETS/cc.

Where got extra gst? R u singaporean? Gst fixed at 7% la.

Nets got extra 2% and credit card is 3% processing fee.

He probably not Singaporean lah. His qn ask about extra nets charge, then suddenly talk about gst charges with nets. After that accuse me of not getting it :I

Most impt is bargain price down and make them despo to close deal with you. Then say you need to draw cash they will say nets also can. No extra charges then,

You pay whatever price you and the shop both agree on -.- duh....

From my experience if tp really wants to sell you something even if the price is already reduced like hell by Raman, you tell him you need to draw cash, and he will say nets also same

yup tradepac does that. Experience before too.

All you need to do is in ibanking just adjust your withdrawal limit. Within a few minutes you can draw.

I don't know wor..:s34: never in my life need I withdraw so much cash before. I am quite KiaSi type, change withdrawal limit scare kanna hack (DBS/POSB got history leh)..

I don't know about others here, I do not seems to be able to get every dame thing I want from a single shop, not to mention building a system in a single shop. Maybe I am not friendly enough to make friends with the shop guys...:s13:

wah singapoor is liked new york lioa..
after sured kanna robbed ones...
the last little india riot atm machines also very safe...

Never too safe than to be sorry, KiaSi type...:s13:

So far I very seldom use ibanking (unless I have no other choice) due to security reasons so I do not know that it can be change and I do not want too...:o

Hi calvin,

I am referring to Amazon when I said cheap and no need to worry about credit card surcharge. I do not know about local online shop as I do not shop online.

That is why I have been paying premium prices for my parts. Now a days I will rather get a second hand part with local warranty at the ever popular IT garage sales forum from here and the other one..but will still buy new at SLS shops if no other alternative...

If you can help find one, post the link here, then that shop will be very popular here...:D..

I tried to view Tradepac's pricelist from Price Lists - HardwareZone.com.sg.

It says something to the effect of 0% for NETS and CC, and cash discount if I use cash. Never mind most of the prices are hidden (says OFFER!), if I want to pay by credit card, the numbers are on the PDF accurate at time of release?

For Tradepac's pricing, prices of motherboard and cpu combo is applicable only if you buy a rig from them. At least that's what they say.

But if you want to buy parts like casing, PSU, Optical drives, and other accessories, what is on their pricelist is what you will pay with cash, or sometime can go cheaper.
