almonddust 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2007 Hi almonddust,Thanks for giving us a lift home. So sorry to hear abt ur accident. Nevermind abt the money, it can be earned back. Juz work harder lor.U then "li hai', accident still can make friends with the car owner. Still help her to promote her site. Shld ask her for discount next time.I will be going to Sitex tomorrow evening, if I see anything gd, I will highlight here. So hv u bought ur lights yet ?Hi Alister,Really want to say a big thanks to you for recommending us to Lights Arcade! We finally bought our lights from them after comparing with a few lighting shops in Balestier. Indeed, after quoting your surname, Jane gave us the cheapest pricing among all the shops we were comparing with. We like her service and she's always smiling. Indeed like what you said, when our ID brought us to Lights N Lights, a similar model was marked up by 20% by them (one particular model was even marked up by 37%!). Hence we didn't get anything from them and we went to get from Lights Arcade (this time without the ID around). We are quite shocked to learn that our ID can earn 20% by recommending customers to the lighting shop. By the way we also tried to ask Jane to lower down your two chandeliers which you & your wife were eyeing for. Hopefully she might lower a bit more. Good luck!
