I have placed $500 deposit with them at the Singapore Expo this July for a sofa set and now Mesin Furniture cannot be contacted. No one picked up the line and handphone. Hi, I went to mesin again, and apparently they have moved. They claimed that they have moved to a new location in chinatown, with the same phone number (you can check in the yellow pages). But I have no idea, how true is the address. I have checked their ACRA, and their status is going to be terminated soon, and they have opened a new name called Mesin Furniture Pte. Ltd. Once they changed the status, it is even more difficult to go through claim tribunal, bcoz if they claim bankruptcy, then u cant do anything. If they are still under the sole proprietorship, you can still claim back from the owner. I have gone through small claim tribunal. This is to claim for amount below 10k. I called CASE before, and they directed me to the small claim tribunal. I heard, some of the other customer has also claim through this, but I have no idea what is the result. I hope I can recover this asap. You can fine the small claim tribunal, try to google, and u will find the website. I will try to update u all once mine settled.

telim123 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2008 i went down this afternoon to Mesin Furniture at Jln Mesin. The gate was locked and from the glass window, can see that there are only a few furniture here and there. Called up CASE and they said they don't handle cases whereby the shop is closed down. They asked me to file it with small claims court. They told me to pay $5 to purchase the business profile for Mesin Furniture (now rename to Pte Ltd which makes it more difficult to claim against owner) from this website www.bizfile.gov.sg and then go to small claims court (admin fee $10) to file against this company with this report that i got. That seems to be a cheaper option compared to Case ($25 member fee + $10 admin fee). They will then send letter to Mesin and after 2 weeks, got to go court for hearing. Very troublesome but no choice. And no guarantee that the money can be claimed back too. Wonder how many more people have been affected. If more people bring up this matter at the same time, then the case against them will be stronger. stand up for your principles and rights! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hurry up!!!! I checked this person's profile. Last active in June 2008? and been advertising and singing good praises of Mesin. doesn't post anything about other matters. and he only post 6 postings. so probably consipiring with mesin. my guess la so please beware when you want to believe anyone's postings in this virtual world. also, this person by name of "tomorrow" last active on May 2008. done only 4 postings and all the postings to sing high praises of mesin as well. another suspicious character Edited November 5, 2008 by junetan7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenr 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2008 Beng Tuan sucks. Went there to order bed. They insisted on full payment. When i reach home, i decided to change my order to a queen bed frame. they had 3 outlets on their invoice. called all 3 for almost up to 6 hours , no soul answered the phone. when i when there that evening, all the sales men were sitting there chatting. When i asked them how come they didnt answer my calls, they said they dont answer calls on Sat & Sun.And they were so rude, no customer service at all. OMG, but they take full payment....... I arranged for delivery on wed after 6pm. On that very day, the delivery guys called at 3pm and yelled on the phone that they wanted to deliver .I was at work and told them after 6pm. They came with the bed with a sulky face and installed the frames unevenly. When asked, they were reluctant to redo. And there was no warranty. When i told the delivery guys to call back office, this was exactly what the guy said " Bedframe warranty no" . Mattress warranty 10years. Where is the warranty card....."dont have" My foot.....to summarise..services sucks, products suck, they give you dirt cheap mattresses.plus prices include GST . BENG TUAN REALLY SUCKS. Buy furniture elsewhere....worth paying extra $100's rather than getting rubbish.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
