Now, I believe many of your guys out there have definately encounter different types of customer service that´s being dished out by the local music stores here in Singapore.
Places like Swee Lee Music, Davis guitar shop, Sinamex, Music Plaza etc...personally, I think that the overall service quality is still bad... I heard numerous friends relate to me how bad their shopping experience, like the sales guy in the store looking down on you if you´re dress like a rocker( we are indeed, in our hearts ) and asking you "what´s your budget?" in a stuck-up tone, when you asked him about that shining American Fender Strat in the closet...
Bad attitude and customer service indeed..These sales I think those people in the stores are not sales people, they are probably musicians who have no business sense and are trying to be salesman. Once, I was enquiring about the EXP strings from Daddario and when i tried to open up to feel how the coating is like, the sales person stopped me. Telling me if i open the box, the string will rust.
Come On! I am not an idiot! Firstly, The package was not air sealed, and secondly, the string is coated to enhance the string life! I told him these but he insisted on not opening the box. I am not being picky and i think it´s reasonable for me to just have a feel of the strings. The fellow simply takes his customer for an idiot.
Seriously, i don´t mind paying more to go a store with good customer service( we musicians need to be pampered anyway Anyway, i think the overall customer service here in Singapore is still bad. If you have your own bad experiences, do it vent it here and share it out. peace.
