To amend what I've mentioned the previous day, itz actually Defu Furniture Pte Ltd, and not Defu Furniture Mall. Their showroom location is No. 15 Defu Lane 1. Not to mention, itz highly inacessible unless u have your own transport. The time & effort needed to get there is definitely not worth the bother. Just take a look at the pictures I'm gonna attach to this entry. Gah!!~! Had to waste time & energy to go down to Jelapang last nite for those photographs... who is gonna reimburse us on all these? Not to mention, the petrol spent?! These furniture is actually costing us way more than we initially expected... plus all those lost time that could be more constructively spent elsewhere.
(photograph 1: 2 chairs placed side by side. 3 of the chairs frm the dining set resemble the one on the right, 1 odd one on the left. Ain't the difference visible enuff? Look at the legs!!~!)
Hmm... photograph 2 [below] didn't turn out very well on camera due to the flash and lighting but to the naked eye, it'll be obvious at the 1st look. I believe this damage came during the delivery process. Tell mi, even if itz a showroom piece, wouldn't anyone have noticed if there was such a dent when it was in the showroom? When told that thatz the final piece, everyone in their right mind would check the furniture for faults... they would be especially meticulous when it comes to that. So saying that itz a "showroom piece", they don't cover damages during delivery? Thatz just plain unreasonable, isn't it? What if the glass was badly scratched during the delivery and the boss claims that itz that way during display? Wouldn't that be simply ridiculous?
(photograph 2: Ben pointing to the damaged table leg)
I took at look at the invoice as well. Delivery date said 30 June 2005. Itz now 20 July 2005 and I still see no coffee table in my flat. Doesn't it simply highlight their inefficiency? I've thought about what the rude boss mentioned - that we can't prove the furniture was not defected when it was out in the showroom. Fine. Itz his word against ours then. Likewise, he couldn't prove that the item was undamaged when it left the showroom anyway!!~! Besides... I believe, the item will be in the showroom for quite sometime till itz delivered to us. So are we supposed to bear any possible damaged caused during that time? The damned boss should get a more customer-oriented mindset. Even a saint would get pissed off if the saint paid for stuff that gets delievered no up to expectations. He should try to pacify the customer by working out options that benfits both parties instead of showing us attitude. Balls to him.
PS. Yeah I know the alignment of this post ain't perfect. But I simply can't be bothered to align it properly. Perhaps nxt time I'll do it in pure html instead.

Yes. I am pissed. No I am not making a big fuss over matters. I used to work in the customer service industry... and I am very particular about the service I receive when I am the consumer. The sales person who served mi & Ben when we went down the 1st time was friendly & helpful enough. Had no problems with that. Delivery came on time... but the goods were defective. Granted that the dining set we took were the display set (the salesman made it very clear to us) but there is no reason for one of the table legs to be dented!!~! Itz so obvious that anyone can see it standing beside the table, so I believe there is no way we could have missed it when we made the purchase. The delivery guys were fucked. w/o waiting for us to check the items, they just left... it was only after they left that we realised they took 1 chair back. They never did inform us about the decision and never gave an explanation afterwards. Nevermind. Small case. We unwrapped the coffee table and realised that the piece of furniture is damaged as well!!~! There was a tiny hole in the glass and parts of the metal were rusty. Hence, we called the furniture mall, requesting a change - heyz it might be a small hole, but I wonder which consumer is willing to accept such goods. We paid $ for it alrite!!~! They said okay okay, they'll replace the table for us... when the delivery guys came the nxt week.
Next week came. Delivery came. Once again, the guys didn't wait for us to check the purchases. They delivered the 4th chair and took back the coffee table. We asked when will we get the table, they said no idea coz itz currently out of stock -.-" Perfect, isn't it? And they also told us that, there will be no refund if we choose not to accept the table. After checking, we also reaslied that the 4th chair delivered was different frm the previous 3. After sales service really sucked big time. We kept calling and different ppl kept telling us different things... customer service promised to get back to us, but noooooo we end up the ones being so pissed off frm waiting till we called. Till Ben finally spoke to Boss Jr. yesterday. According to boss jr, if we are really disatisfied with the purchase of the dining set, we can exchange it for another piece of furniture frm the mall - either we top up the difference or they refund us the difference. He also stated that we should get our coffee table by this weekend.
Hence, we went down to the mall last nite, to see if there are any other dining tables. And got into an arguement with the boss. The boss's attitude was totally fucked up. He kept saying that it was our fault, and that we had no proof the dining set was not damaged when it was in the showroom (may I know, who the fuck displays damaged furniture?). Then he said he would not change it for us, but he'll just replace the chairs. He was rude. Very rude. When I asked him politely, if he can give us a rough estimate of when the chairs will get back to us. He pretended not to understand English, and asked mi if I was Chinese. It was at that point when I totally lost my temper. That kinda attitude is really pathetic. Whatz his problem with English speaking customers? Is he implying that Indians and Chinese, and those non-Mandarin speaking ppl will get no service at the mall? Fine. Then let mi spread the word. If u can't speak mandarin, don't go there. And if u are the kind who doesn't have much time to spare, and want to move into ur new home with perfect furniture... don't go there. Boss Jr. was fine. He spoke to mi nicely after that... and ignored his dad. But his dad's business sense is zero. I ain't gonna let this matter rest just so simply. mi & Ben have plans... to be revealed at a later date.
For now, this is just a caution to everyone who is captivated by Defu Furniture's TVC of a sale. Please don't go there. I don't think anyone would mind paying slightly more for good service and perfect-condition goods. Whether u wanna believe this story of mine, itz totally up to u... but don't ever let mi have the chance to say "I told you so..." when u start to complain about this damned furniture company as well.

I am the Alpha, I am the Omega. I am a Monster without a name.
I don't know where I'm going, and you need not know where I've been. I don't know why I'm embarking on this journey and I don't know what exactly I'm searching for.
I don't need guidance. I'll know it when I find it - I'll make something up if I don't. Perhaps then, I'll depart to the realms beyond.
Till then, sit back & enjoy the tales I bring to you from my reality.
