junye 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) I'm so angryyy man.The stupid electrician gave me fung yip brand switches. den i told i wanted PDL.I checked the prices and they are relatively the same. but i believe his profit margin is more.I don't mind letting the electrician earn a bit but at least have the decency to change the brand of switches i wanted. (esp when i know hw much he is earning from the switches)He actually have the cheek to tell me he had to charge me 100+ more.so i tell him straight that i will buy and provide him the switches so ask him to tell how many kinds of switches i need. den he say he dunno. Den i said "den hw u install?" den he simply give up a f* up answer say his men will bring up lots and install. rubbish.So i told him to ask his men go up and check what kind of switches i need (35 of them) and den tell me den i go buy.For info, PDL switches is 3dollars, 7 dollars and 11 dollars the last time i asked and the auntie still tell can have discount.The electrician is charging 17 dollars for 1 switch. 8 dollars to install switches! . So that's like 9 dollars a switch? And Fung yip brand? PDL still must add more money? kaoz.I think it's a big mistake to let him go ahead and further more supply my cove lights and false ceiling lights!I take it as a lesson learnt. Next time i am going to engage an ID, i will have to compare the quotation of the electrician before i let them proceed.I have thoughts of asking the electrician to stop all works and getting another electrician but i think it will affect the work progress on my ID part so decided to take it as an expensive lesson.

ROAR! reno has been pretty ok and ID has been quite ok so far. *keeping fingers cross la* guess the only fault i can find with him so far is the electrician he recommended us. pm us if any of you wana noe who is the electrician.
