Price match and 5 year "no nonsense" warranty on a lot of products.
I am also abit annoyed about the fact that the shops here in Hong Kong carry a lot of old stock and the staff always see to lie about the products (talking tv's here, as I am about to buy one). Curry's and Dixons in the UK might suck and the staff might be ignorant about the products, but they do not lie to you about the products as far as I have experienced, Fortress' staff do, big time.

| | | Oh ya they do that too. Last week I was trying to buy 3 lcd's for our office, (in Fortress yet again) the store only had 1. We asked the sales guy to check stock in other stores and he went off, came back and said no. 2 days later in another store, lo and behold they had one and said no problem we can get you 2 more from other stores!
arggghhh, slap

| | (sigh!) ......and all this happens even after you have the likes of Andy Lau telling locals what good customer service is supposed to be....

1000% AGREE!!! 
Another funny thing: They do sell plenty of USB products, but most of the stores don't sell any USB cables... isn't it weird???
If you ask them for the reason they will just say "sorry, Sir!". They really like this expression and basically give a shit.... :-( | |

| | | what blew my mind was the adamant refusal of the CSR to even take my name and pass it on to the manager. Over and over he just kept saying no! I asked the guy if he knew what the definition of CS was. | |

hi guys,
What works like a charm in my opinion is to tell them that you are obligated to inform them that you are recording the conversation - for evidence - should the need arise for you to pursue your case legally ... managers, directors, ceo's, chairmen all of them get on the end of that line to listen to you.
i'm just a terrible person that way. | |

Usually their crews are much more well-equipped to deal with these sort of problems.
Who knows, if you make enough of a fuss, they'll even provide you with a temporary replacement!  | |

| | | Seriously .. you expect them to bring you a spare aircon, install it, then deinstall it and reinstall the old one on return?
I'd like to see the Maytag man offer to do this .... | | Tools | Search | | | | | Rate This Thread | | | All times are GMT +8. The time now is 06:33 PM. | |
