    Thinking of buying a good bicycle to ferry my boy to and fro from childcare, very taxing on the wallet to take 4 bus services each day.

    1) Anyone know where is the bicycle shops in Bedok? If there is one

    2) Any good recommendation of bicycle for the task? I saw those black horse with cargo bar at the back where most people strap a child seat on it.

    Already route out the travelling plan, minimal traffic so low chance of accidents

    Thanks

    It depends on what you meant by good. There are a few bicycle shops around Bedok central. One is near the Katong Cake Shop, across the street from Botak Jones, or cross the street opposite Bedok library (depending on which direction you are at). Another one is near where you stay, just walk across the road towards Bedok South. It's few shops away from the Singapore Pools. There are also a few shops in Bedok Reservoir Road (near Sheng Siong).

    I bought mine at Tampines Round Market (you can take bus 28 or 18). Look for Tay's bicycle shop.

    They have 2 shops. One is the more expensive kind for pros and the other one for ordinary folks like me. :D

    Didn't get them at all :( I saw their advertisement at Wan Bao that they are in exhibiting at Creative Living 08. I am going down tomorrow to trash it out with them. Have a bad feeling that I wont be able to locate them after this expo end at this sunday. Just wan to get my refund and forget about it, hopefully.

    I did try to ask for refund from him at Creative Living but wasn't successful. Were you successful?

    Hi,

    I went to mesin again, and apparently they have moved. They claimed that they have moved to a new location in chinatown, with the same phone number (you can check in the yellow pages). But I have no idea, how true is the address.

    I have checked their ACRA, and their status is going to be terminated soon, and they have opened a new name called Mesin Furniture Pte. Ltd. Once they changed the status, it is even more difficult to go through claim tribunal, bcoz if they claim bankruptcy, then u cant do anything.

    If they are still under the sole proprietorship, you can still claim back from the owner.

    I have gone through small claim tribunal. This is to claim for amount below 10k. I called CASE before, and they directed me to the small claim tribunal. I heard, some of the other customer has also claim through this, but I have no idea what is the result. I hope I can recover this asap. You can fine the small claim tribunal, try to google, and u will find the website.

    I will try to update u all once mine settled.

    if you paid using VISA card like myself, get the banks to reverse the charges. first I went to the police and lodge a report as this is under CBT, then with the report give to bank with the forms.

    With more people making the police report, the higher the chances of winning. Police report is quite easy and because we are on the 'correct' side, it's quite a good experience. The police won't do any investigation, the paperwork is there so that in the future you still got options to make it a criminal case or small claim or legal case.

    Unfortunately, i paid by NETS. Please goto http://www.iptoonline.gov.sg/ and search these NRIC numbers.

    (S1618523Z Steven Lim, S7314126E, S8225002F Edwin Teng). All 3 directors are already bankcrupt. I did not bother to pay $6 each for their details as I don't want to spend more unnecessary monies. How could a bankcrupt still be directors! Something not right! :furious: Will make a report to police instead since it is unlikely I can get back any money. At least, these people will not get their discharge from bankcruptcy so easily if we report them to the OA.

    3 Sep: Sorry, my mistake. They are not bankruptees. Victim99 corrected me when he purchased the reports on their status. I thot initially successful match means they are in the bankruptees list.

    Oh oh, someone just called my wife and told her that the sofa will be delayed to 23 October 2008 which was supposed to be delivered by 6 September...I gave them enough time to do the job.

    Sigh, looks like some trouble ahead.

    I'll probably have to call the credit card company to reverse the charges....

    In the mean time.....suggest most people do not deal with Mesin Furniture (or derivatives)

    Wtf: got an sms today 22 August 2008 2 pm from a james from Hee Tat Enteprise, 19 Mandai Estate $02-03 S729911 says that they took over all of mesin furniture goods and asked me to go down to 'talk'.

    Sigh, getting ready to go case, small courts, police, credit card, magistrate and then send my lawyer liao. Waste my time and some more now must go select all my furniture all over again....

    PISS OFF!!!

    His 2 weeks grace period is up. Did not receive any call and can't get hold of anybody from Mesin today to confirm my delivery. Their office phone has been transferred to "no man's land" as well. Am not too hopeful to get my sofa set.

    Will go to his SPOTTISWOODE house to confront him this time round, unless he also move out of his residential home or he gave an incorrect address when he registers with ACRA. If he doesn't want to settle it in some way, will go to small court to file as the last measure.

    :curse:

    Guys,

    I bought a package from Mesin too early July 2008, they were there for 3 consequtive Expo (early july, mid July, now early Aug), just confirmed my sofa and coffee table set.

    I asked them if they are the same as mesin furniture and they said they are NOT. Their company is mesin furniture Pte Ltd. The head honcho I deal with is Edwin Deng. Their showroom at 11 Jalan Mesin (Standard Industrial Building) is under renovation?....Their Tampines electrical showroom is up (I'll have to d address, then update here)

    I think we are getting confused with 2 different companies here. The logo looked the same (the first chinese character)...

    Very confusing. In my order form, they have both Mesin Furniture in print and a chop to amend the cheque payable to "Mesin Furniture Pte Ltd". To me, they are the same company. There are 3 directors listed in Mesin Furniture Pte Ltd: Steven Lim, Edwin Teng (Deng JinFu) and Lee Sou Mien (Li ShaoMin). SL claimed the company is moving to 11 Eu Tong Sen after the trade show. When you said confirmed, do you mean they have delivered to your house?

    Didn't get them at all :( I saw their advertisement at Wan Bao that they are in exhibiting at Creative Living 08. I am going down tomorrow to trash it out with them. Have a bad feeling that I wont be able to locate them after this expo end at this sunday. Just wan to get my refund and forget about it, hopefully.

    Please give us an update on your encounter. I have gone down to Expo yesterday and he apologised that they were so busy with the shift and expo show that they have forgotten my order. He promised to deliver the sofa to me in 2 weeks time. I will wait and give him another 2 weeks......

    NO LEH !! MY experience with the delivery side is ok , i bought a wardrobe and was delivered yesterday evening and because of the door is not fixed properly and it came out!!! then i call the sales side , in less then half and hour , they bring a new wardrobe up to do a exchange WOW !!! REALLY FAST RESPONSE !!! :dancingqueen:

    Hi Pretty Girl, please provide me the sales side phone number that you have dialled? You must be very lucky for them to respond within half an hour while ugly one here has been calling this number 62857805 since 22 July almost everyday (morning, afternoon, evening) and HP 96587034 to try to make an appointment for delivery. No one picked up the call. :furious:

    If you don't believe me, please try these numbers yourself.

    Hey, people, got tip that Mesin is still exhibiting at Expo.

    "Mesin is currently 1 of the exhibitors at Creative Living 08 in Expo Hall 6A till 10 August 2008"

    I very upset with Mesin. This is the second time they stood me up for non delivery of furniture. Only inform me of the BAD NEWS on the day of delivey. When I called them up three days ago confirming the delivery, they actually told me OK. I tried to call the boss but they alway tell me boss is not arround. How ???

    I am upset with them too. I ordered a sofa set from them at Singapore Expo on 13 July and up to now, no news from them and can't seem to reach anybody (both shop number 62857805 and Steven's Lim handphone). I got worried and checked with ACRA and search for Mesin Furniture. Went down to their shop this afternoon at Jln Mesin and it was locked and closed. The place looked like a ghost town.

    This Steven Lim requested me to pay $500 as deposit and I paid by NETS (STUPID ME! :furious: ). Yes, I must admit he's a very sweet talker.

    BTW: did you manage to get your furniture in the end?

    What! I got a $1K deposit with them, don't tell me they skip town.

    call their showroom tel 6285 7805, they should be at 11 Jalan Mesin #05-00 Standard Industrial Building S(368813). If not, man, I will get my visa company to chase back the monies.

    Hi Ideasmiths,

    pls update on your pursue with Mesin Furniture......

    Thanks.

    Hi, I went to Mesin Furniture yesterday, at 11 Jalan mesin, but I saw the shop close lei.

    I think it has moved, since not a lot of furniture inside.Anybody knows where I can find their new address?

    I need it quite urgent since I need a good and cheap furniture asap.

    Thanks a lot :D

    Better look for others if you value your money and time. It's not worth the headache and heartache. Wonder who recommend them to you? :bangwall:

    Mesin Furniture at jln mesin shop closed! Did you buy anything from them or not?

  12. Posted

    i went down this afternoon to Mesin Furniture at Jln Mesin. The gate was locked and from the glass window, can see that there are only a few furniture here and there.

    Called up CASE and they said they don't handle cases whereby the shop is closed down. They asked me to file it with small claims court.

    They told me to pay $5 to purchase the business profile for Mesin Furniture (now rename to Pte Ltd which makes it more difficult to claim against owner) from this website www.bizfile.gov.sg and then go to small claims court (admin fee $10) to file against this company with this report that i got. That seems to be a cheaper option compared to Case ($25 member fee + $10 admin fee). They will then send letter to Mesin and after 2 weeks, got to go court for hearing.

    Very troublesome but no choice. And no guarantee that the money can be claimed back too.

    Wonder how many more people have been affected. If more people bring up this matter at the same time,

    then the case against them will be stronger.

    stand up for your principles and rights!

    be careful of Beng Tuan also.... they seem to be moving away from their 2 locations. but they never state where is the new place and didnt put their company name in the newspaper advert.

    they seem to be quite secretive abt it.

    I have paid $500 deposit with Mesin 3 weeks ago when i ordered a sofa set from them at the Singapore Expo and now can't seem to contact them.

    Anyone know how to get this resolved?

    Hi Ideasmith,

    mine, too! I have placed a deposit in them, and when I checked the status in ACRA, they are in the road of being terminated, and open a new 1, called Mesin Furniture Pte Ltd!!!!

    Any of you here know how we can claim our money back?

    Please email me if you hear anything from CASE. I have placed $500 deposit with them at the Singapore Expo this July for a sofa set and now Mesin Furniture cannot be contacted. No one picked up the line and handphone.
