Inappropriate Approach By Contractors In New Bto Hdb

[Lizhen 0]

Attending Friends & Relatives house warming these few months.. Has been thinking whether to put up this thoughts in my mind for awhile already.. Sigh.. So.. I'm here.. And I have decided to post this here.. In this century.. Above topic more or less what I will be writing here.. Another word for it.. TOUTING! Is it allowing here?? A sales person approached me near the lift!! Ahhhh.... This sales person was actually standing around the lift area, with a bag & a few booklet of sample.. Walking towards my family & asked, are you owner?? Do up your curtain or blind at your house already? I can go up with you take measurement & give quotation.. Sound scary to me.. I don't know about others??.. Anyway, personally I don't feel comfortable.. I have friends who are Property Agents.. Why they are so poor thing.. Under controlled by Authority this can't that can't!! Why no authority step in to control these contractors!! As I have mentioned in one the reviews here. Some vendors/companies are genuine to earn a living.. Some are just out there to cheat or make consumers confuse!! In which area?? In Pricing.. Cost.. Ridiculous!! As a consumers, I don't even dare to deal business with them!! Straining my eyes.. Looking at those advertisements PASTED & STAMPED in the lift!! Unbelievable!! The price they are offering?!?! Consumers including myself, are we putting our pockets into danger zone when dealing with these vendors/company?? Let us decide.. Cheers

Add on a little here.. Oh, I have missed out.. While I'm parking car in the car park, my family saw some customers were crowding around a van looking at curtains & blinds samples!! Are they legal?? Illegal?? Ö Consumers, yup.. Myself, do agreed at times when renovating a new house can be quite budget.. However, we need to be wise too.. Why allowing those contractors/vendors/companies which maybe out there to cheat or to confuse us?? Why allowing further?? Shall we have a good thoughts now??..

i think all you have to do is just ignore them?

I mean nowaday Singaporeans are quite smart de..not so easily cheated..

maybe a few..but there are a lot more way to be cheated than by these contractors..

but i agree aggressive, pushy type of sales behaviour should be regulated..

hi lizhen, you've mentioned that their pricing is ridiculously low...just wondering, what is the pricing compared to those established curtain shop on the high street? 50%? 60%?
