Not too sure abt gain city. Got my system 3 Fujitsu from Hong Tar.

Just feel that Gain city, like courts , Harvey Norman usually charged higher, due to "branding".

But one thing, aircon price usually doesnt differ a lot, if you compare apple to apple.

Electricals, I still prefer my frenly meighbourhood shops (Kong Tai). Cheaper, better services and delivery on time.

Yap Xiao Bao is right, Gaincity or HN charge more higher due to their advertisement and rental cost.

Hong Tar and Kong Tai both offer goood and competitive rate... I would also strongly recommend them.

Updates on delivery of my furnitures:

(1) Sofa from Leads furnitures

- Came on time, however got missing 2x cushions and one missing ottoman

- 2 guys came to assemble, super angry with one of the older guy. My sofa is white and his hand is blardy dirty and he super heck care and just use his dirty hand to press here and there! Can even see his whole hand prints on one of the side. Asked his assistant to clean the dirty area, he super not happy.. give me the "cant u clean urself " face. End up, his assistant pass my wife a bottle of "sofa cleaner" and ask her to clean herself. WTF. (I was settling the bedframe in the other room)

Apparently no DO for me to sign as well and ask me to call Leads office to tell them we never receive the cushions and ottoman. Fine, we try cleaning using their so called "super sofa cleaner" and the stains still there. End up we use turpentine to clean and obviously the results were MUCH BETTER.

Ok fine, called Leads and this guy, Alvin attended to me cos the other sales person, DArren wasnt ard. He say will get back to me by end of the day. I say great.

Was still ok with their services until, I called them again in the evening, one china sales girl answered. I said, I'm looking for Alvin, then she said wait... AND I WAS LEFT TO WAIT ON THE PHONE FOR 5 MINS AND I CAN HEAR THEM TALKING IN THE BACKGROUND LA. WTH. Hanged up , called again and Alvin answered this time. Asked him again so when will my ottoman comes, he say try to get it to me by end of the MONTH. Again.. WTH!

But hor, you not staying in my neighbourhood! lolz

Wanna seek advice on the following:

(1) My MBR door has 2 part chipped. Got HDB to change once and rechecked before I hand over to the ID. Thus, pretty sure it was chipped during carpentry work.

(2) Parquet flooring dented and scratched at some area. I tot after sanding, all these should be eliminated.

Saw some part with hair trapped underneath the varnish which I think its not supposed to be right?

(3) Parquet skirting not properly done up... use wood color filling or silicon (dunno the term) to fill up the gap between floor and skirting and still rough after sanding.

(4) Hole at the sink for fixing the tap is too small and sink has been mounted. So ID got his plumber to open up the hole and fixed the tap. However, my sink was scratched at the tap area and I think its beginning to rust. (I understand that when I bought the tap and sink, the Adamas guy never advise me properly, telling me that the tap can fit in. I called Adamas and they offered to get their plumber to come down to open up the hole and fix the tap. My ID say his guy can do it, so I let his guy do it. Now like dat.)

Question is, can get ID to compensate? Quite sure that my ID will not compensate and his parquet guys can never reach the standard that we want. (pretty sure our demand is not high - we can even accept HDB standards)
