Topic: Anson(ortigas) and Abenson(st.francis) mura na din LG LD460.

[bibilitv]

Hi

Sa ansons ortigas straight cash.( Pag card 6months magiging 27thou.)
25,200 ang 32 LG LD460
30thou 37 LG LD460

Sa Abenson St Francis (Cash and straight card same price)

25thou- 32 LG LD460
30thou  37 LG LD460

Bakit naging same sila ng price sa shangrila store like sight and sounds and listening in style?

Plan ko sa ansons bibili pero may 200 pang butal yung 32inch.

Nung nagback read ako pag grey market, if ever magkaproblem after warranty kailangan ikaw pumunta sa store pag aayusin pero pag hindi grey market yung brand mismo ang pupunta sa bahay?

[arkyusi]

PAG GANITO BA PATI SA IBA NILANG STORE/BRANCH SAME DIN ANG PRICE? cavite kc ko so if ganito din ang price dun nko bibili at least no problem with the delivery..

[bibilitv]

^
Yung ang i-negotiate ko sa akin kasi meron mas malapit na abenson sa akin. Sana pumayag na ganito din price sa branch na malapit sa akin.

Try mo tawagan yung branch sa cavite tapos sabihn mo ganito price sa st francis abenson/ansons ortigas.

Gulat pa rin ako tinapatan nila price ng sights and sounds and listening in style.

[arkyusi]

ah ok.. i think parehas na lng kc sa cavite ang warehouse nila eh.. well nway il inquire with them..

wait natin c sir vic ng SnS. baka tapatan nya na din ito.. 

[Clondalkin]

Check nyo rin ang Anson's Emporium (in Landmark) because iba ang owner sa Anson's At Home (Ortigas).  Sometimes hindi lang nila kayang tapatan, napapababa pa nila compared to our resident sellers.  Tawagan nyo muna kung malayo dahil sayang ang byahe.

[arkyusi]

i talked to steve of abenson st. francis.. for approval pa daw ung P30K and lg 37" sabi nya.. well pag nabisita ko sana ma-ok nga..

inquire ko din later sa anson naman.


mas ok kc sakin pag abenson kc ung warehouse nila carmona so minimal lang delivery charge.. may points pako sa loyalty card nila.   

[arkyusi]

guys CONFIRMED sa ansons ortigas.. P30K for the 37" LG LD460!   

[alx]

[ricky]

sa anson's at abensons may kasama na din free wall mount? And ang isang hassle sa mga famous stores na ito ay kailangan mo pa makipagtawaran eh alam naman na natin totoong price noong item.

[bibilitv]

Oo free wall mount.

Ang unang offer kasi sa akin 29,999 free yung LG DVD and wall mount. Pero pag straight cash 25thou(walang dvd nga lang)

Inaantay ko yung reply kung pwede isama na yung dvd tapos kung same price pa din or magdagdag lang ng konti.

Nakatulog kasi ako. Tawagan ko bukas kung pumayag.

[pinoy55]

How about the 42"? Magkano and with wall mount and dvd player ba?

[anchit]

Agree with vic, i remember wen i had a problem with my pana pv70, told him na parang hindi napupuno yung screen, his immediate response was " schedule naten replacement" as quick as that, i doubt if the chain stores can do the same.

Yung good after sales ang mahirap makuha sa chain stores.

Correct ka dyan bro..

[bibilitv]

How about pag after warranty? Yung kasi sinabi sa akin ang advantage ng chain store sila daw pupunta sa bahay for free.

Bakit mo pa ipapadaan sa store if you can call the maker directly through their hotline?

You should call the maker to report the trouble.   For big items, normally the servicemen will visit your house.  Kung under warranty libre, kung out of warranty, syempre hindi.  Yun ang trabaho nila.

Sony Philippines has visited my house 2x for services since 2006.   If they dont have the replacement part, babalikan nila yon.

Basta register your purchased TV or send the warranty card to the maker upon purchase.

Kung store warranty lang yung TV mo, yun ang malaking katanungan.

LG warranty din. Pero yung explanation sa akin pag sa chain store daw ako bumili pag nakagproblem priority daw ng LG philippines. Pag sa grey market daw baka dedmahin ako. Sabi ko sa shangrila na grey market may philippine warranty.

Sabi sa akin tawag daw ako sa LG Philippines. Yung nakausap ko promodiser ng LG.

Tapos sinabi ko price ng grey market. After ilan minutes nagtext tatapatan daw. Tinanong ko baka display unit yan. Sabi hindi daw sila nagbebenta ng display unit.

[Clondalkin]

Kaya nga bago ka bumili, tiyakin mo from your seller (chain store or otherwise) kung talagang meron Maker's Warranty or wala.   

Sinasabi naman ng resident sellers dito specifically kung yung particular item is covered by maker's warranty or gray market diba?  Tignan mo yung Panasonic V20, meron 65K na cash and meron din (yata) 59K na gray market option.

Sa chain stores, malamang walang gray market choice, and if you ask any chain store, syempre sasabihin nila questionable yung warranty ng small shops - which may be true.  Kahit saan naman bansa yun ang sasabihin sa yo ng big electronic shops.

[eli71724]

Hindi pa ako nakakabili ng kahit ano sa SNS or Listening Style, pero kung sa Abensons lang din, more than willing ako bumili sa SNS or Listening Style, lalong lalo na sa SNS(based from the feedback of PDVD members). Hindi ako masaya sa service ng Abensons, lalo na sa pricing nila. Dagdag pa natin yung mga sales rep nila na palihim na mag-aalok ng mga "monster" cable/assembled cables etc. Diko lang alam kung alam ng management nila na may mga ganun sa store.

[bibilitv]

Clondalkin,

Nagcurious kasi ako nung sinabi i forgot kung ansons or abensons kahit after warranty free daw na pupuntahan sa bahay. Not sure kung abenson or ansons at no charge. Sa gray market may charge ba ang listening in style and sights and sounds?

Bago pa lang kasi ako dito nagbaback read pa ako. Sa shangrila sana ako bibili pero nung nabasa ko "The Seller/Brand (Pre Post Service)" nagdalawa isip ko if seryosohin ba ng maker pag hindi sa kanila mismo bumili.

Out of warranty na tapos libre pa rin - ano ka sinuswerte?  hahaha.

Pag out of warranty, fair lang na may charge lahat.  For instance with one of my Sony HD CRTs bought from Ansons in 2006 and serviced in 2008, out of warranty na.  I knew out of warranty pero sinubok ko yung system nila kasi I had 2 identical Sony TVs and one was covered for 3 years (bale hanggang 2009) - pero Sony checked and  traced the Serial No, kaya ayun lumabas na natapos in 2007 yung warranty of that specific TV - so ala rin akong lusot -hehehe.  Still Sony sent their serviceman sa bahay as was agreed sa phone through CSR, and I was billed accordingly.  The price was fair but sa receipt, they didnt indicate kung kasama yung pang-motor and pang burger ng serviceman - of course not - I think fixed ang minimum fee then additional kung may replacement parts needed.

Sa laki ng mga TV these days, kataka-taka naman kung hindi dadalaw ang maker's serviceman sa bahay mo if you need repairs - unless napakalayo ng bahay mo sa service center.  Kung walang ganon service ang particular brand of TV, dont buy.  I also have an LG na 32V sa bahay pero wala pang problem that required house-call.  Tumawag lang kami a few times sa LG to consult about some power issues and they answered properly (sa phone).

Kung gray market ang TV mo, make sure na malinaw pa sa sinag ng araw ang usapan nyo ng seller about post-purchase support.  Yun lang po.  Ang isa mo pang risk would be kung biglang magsara yung tindahan (as was the case of that shop in Trinoma).  So paano na yon?  Pero to be fair with our remaining resident sellers, they seem to be on solid grounds - but they still need support of course.   I would have bought from SnS kung di lang mas mura ng 3K sa Ansons.   Sa ibang members, that difference would be offset by their trust sa SnS.  Sa akin opinion, I would buy sa cheapest trusted store whether it be a big chain or sa resident seller natin - BASTA may Maker's Warranty.  Ang mahal masiraan ng HDTV.  If the maker would offer extended warranty for a reasonable fee, as was the case of my 2006 Sony, that's a sound idea (I think I paid like 2K pesos for 2 years extended warranty - so total was 3 years).

Ngayon kung makaka-hanap ka ng maker or seller na pupuntahan ka ng libre talaga kahit kelan, paki-abiso nga dine.  hehehe

[eli71724]

Question lang po, grey products po ba ang binebenta ng SNS? No maker's warranty? Can anyone clarify this?thanks

[Battousai]

It all boils down to peace of mind for me. Kung difference lang sa presyo e not more than 3k, pero kapalit e guarantee na magandang aftermarket support, I'd pay for that 3k extra sa kilala at recommended dito. But kung di kaya ng budget ko, at legal din naman transaction dun sa nagbebenta ng mura, e di sa mas mura na lang ako. As per experience, maayos naman kausap Abenson at Ansons. I've bought TVs and other appliances there before and the rare instance na nagkaproblema item ko right after buying, maayos naman sila naging kausap.

We believe that if we give our customers a great shopping experience, then growth in sales will eventually come on its own. So rather than focusing on maximizing profits, we focus on maximizing the service that we provide.

It’s hard to shop for a TV without honest to goodness opinion from the shop.  At Sights and Sounds, we tell buyers what to buy, which TV to look for and which TV to wait for. Our intention is really to guide buyers on how to spend their hard earn money wisely.  It is for this reason that we had promoted several TVs in the past as the best value for money. Plasma TV, an awesome TV at that time, was never appreciated by the chain stores. Yet, with our honest believe on this product, we promoted it and the public accepted it as an awesome TV the money can buy. Even now LG LD460 series may not be as popular as it is without our foremost announcement as the best value for money TV.

Yes, this is what we did. We plant the seeds and the chain stores reap the fruits. Aren’t the chain stores now are also selling LG and Panasonic plasma TVs, when at that time they claimed that plasma is already a dead technology?

Nevertheless, the question remains: will the chain stores assist you in your buying decision?

Try to visit a big appliance store and walk down a row of dozen different TVs. Soon you will be swarmed by promoters who will instill you with different opinions: motionflow is better than trumotion, Bravia is better than Regza, LED is the best TV,... If you still are not convinced, they will persuade you for a better deal: Buy a TV and get a FREE washing machine. Are these promoters helping you in the decision? The answer is NO. They are there to catch the sales for their respective Manufacturing Company. Truly, when you are already so much confused with many TVs on display, you will be much more confuse after stepping out from the shop.

At Sights and Sounds, we provide the knowledge and attention better than the big appliances store.  We will even suggest you to bring some of your favorite DVDs with you to see how they look on the TVs you’re auditioning.  In a big retail chain, you may not be able to audition your own movies on a TV.

Sights and Sounds is committed to quality service

At Sights and Sounds, we deliver and install Plasma / LCD TV on the same day by our qualified technicians.  We can promise this because, unlike many stores that rely on manufacturing company for limited service, we employ our own in-house knowledgeable technicians and installers, who are ready for the assigned job.  

We install your TV with absolutely free of charge on the following: we mount TV on the table top, hook it up with cables from TV to any source, twik your TV to produce the right image brightness, colors, and contrast, pre-set your cable station TV program, and patiently guide you through in TV operation, Yes, there may be charges for mounting bracket, cables or other accessories, but not for the basic installation service we just mentioned.

Once your flat panel TV is fitted you can also be sure that we won’t leave it at that.  In the unlikely event that that you experience a problem, such as changes in cable programming, our technical will still be there to do another round of TV service, even if he needs to pre-set your cable TV program again.  Many sellers do not back their sales this way but to refer their customers to manufacturer guaranty service.   If services not covered by guaranty, it is down to the customer to find service agent who will help them.

Service is just as important as buying the right flat panel TV.  Surely service is one you can count on at Sights and Sounds.
