More than 10 years ago I went to SlS with my kid brother to look at the Playstation. I remember the first storey there was this shop, an ah beng sales staff said to me " what you stare" . We were only browsing the games from outside the store. That was the last time I went there. Now SlS is like a dead place, thats what I heard.
Quite a few are tourists and i think telcos do not sell handsets without contracts......After so many bad review and news for years. There still so many idiot going there to buy!
Buy phone should go the direct telco(Singtel/M1/Starhub direct under the telco not agent)>>> is the best place to buy phone no others place then telco.
Buy PC/laptop/tablet do some home work(search for info on net, ask friend.................... never never trust sales person>>just heard what sale said and dont jump into trap).
If sinkees boycott shops at Sim Lim, these shops will improve their customer service. But sinkees like to be kicked. So, they deserve the bad service.
Despite being abused, Sinkees will continue to go driven by their "looking for a bargain mentality". Their attitude is that they will not go to an established shop, say, in Funan, because they expect to get the same gadget 20-30% cheaper at SLS. The same mentality leads to tens of thousands flocking the annual PC show at Suntec. All this is supposed to demonstrate cleverness, but it actually belies a cheap and pariah mentality.
Why would anyone want to buy from SLS??

The general rule is never to buy from shops on level 1-3. I usually get my accessories from level 4-5 and only after comparing different shops. For example, my ipad VGA cable, I found different prices ranging from $25 to $38. In the end, I settled for the shop selling $28 as the PRC chick was wearing a blouse that had a big slit at the armpits. I made her do the screen protector for my ipad and had a good 10 minutes enjoying the show

Stomping or cyber kpkb about bad experiences in SLS is futile.......you cant shame those bengs.....they only understand the fist......so if you want to shop there then prepare to get into a fight.
know of a few chaps would use hi cards.....their reasonsWhy consumer not willing to sign contract with telco?
Every 12 month can upgrade with $100 discount on handset base on market price or even lower. Since phone also need line. For tourist I understand they will bring back the phone. But for local really something wrong.
For 15 year I only buy phone from direct Telco shop.
