Thanks to amazon we get better prices.

I wouldn't say its due to Amazon. I do not have any stats but I believe not many people buy their parts from Amazon. Its definitely not enough to contribute to the massive drop in crowd.

As I have mentioned before in my other thread, its mainly due to notebooks and tablets. Notebooks are so cheap so many just go the notebook route.

Shipping costs must also be accounted for right. Is it still more worth it after adding shipping?

Yes, its still cheaper for quite a number of items. However, worth it of not depends on you.

For me, I do not buy IT products from amazon simply because of the waiting time (don't have the patience to wait). Would rather go down to SLS, grab it, go home and install.

Yeah i think the image had been badly tainted.
Too much dishonest shop owner, combined with the impact on amazon, dwelling demand for low end rigs.

End of day i foresee someone might be looking at re-develop the whole place for condo or what.

Because, rental yield is on the depress, no one doing honest business would want to set-up their shop near those con-shops.

Then one day u might have the distributor selling directly, BL set up their online shop liao is just evidence that it is out to cut-off the middle man. Else if goods are not moving at the end point, distributor won't survive also.

So you have it. SLS is a place of the past. Will never recover would only disappear altogether some day.

I wonder why they don't shift their store to funan.
Few weeks ago went funan to use up my ns45 voucher and found out that they dont have anything much related to IT products other than laptop, console/games and pc peripherals. Srsly nthin to buy
But still funan got more shopper than sls.
