Little_prince Supersonic December 7, 2010 Share December 7, 2010 ST Forum Home > ST Forum > Story Dec 7, 2010 Computer buyers sent on a wild goose chase LAST Saturday, I saw an advertisement about Courts Bukit Timah's relocation sale. A Dell notebook costing 'from $399' caught my eye and I noticed it stated 'limited sets - one set per customer'. As I had been shopping around for one, this seemed to be a good deal. So I braved the heavy rain and reached the store as it opened at 11am. I immediately went to the IT section and asked for the $399 notebook. Imagine my shock when I was told there was no notebook being sold for $399. A salesgirl brought out the cheapest machine on sale, priced at $999. Those of us who had braved the rain to be there to buy the $399 notebook were upset. When we pointed out the price mentioned in the advertisement, the reply came fast: The ad only said 'from $399' and not 'at $399'. How absurd. Why didn't Courts advertise it as 'from $99' then? Courts owes its customers an explanation and an apology. Monica Lau (Ms) ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
