lawry 3 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 I got my prices from neighbourhood stores first to get a feel of how low it can go. Armed with that information, I went to these bigger companies (Harvey to be specific) to check prices, tell them to give their best price, you will give them the deal. Most of the time they are willing to match the neighbourhood prices, and sometimes they come with extra freebies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatesinyou 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 do we need to quote there why we need that price like other store is selling cheaper..if not, gain city do just allow any price we quoted? i-wish is only availble via internet right? Not quite understand on the function of i-wish..do u know the leadtime for gaincity delivery after our order via internet? Thks i did almost the same, called up some neighbourhood stores e.g. Hong Liang, Everjoint; then go to gaincity website and quote a lower price in i-wish. Cheers!

praisey 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2009 Courts - the most expensive. Gaincity - depends what weekend, sometimes they have cash voucher, other weeks they have trade in. For new move in, trade in don't work. Best deal - GOH AH BEE. Blk 210, hougang st 21, tel 62888611. Bought my washer, fridge there. for eg, Mitsubishi fridge is 200 cheaper than gain city, 350 than courts. Go courts to see physical goods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mega Discount store can get u the items that they are not displaying there.... they can just call the supplier and supplier will send it directly to you. you just have to talk to the sales ppl.........
