Sooo lazy to blog.. keke..
Time check now is 1607hr, the ikea shushu r here to assemble our furniture!
Spotted their trunk at the car park..
The uncles are starting to assemble Ah di's wardrobe.. This is one of the drawer.
Mine consists of many many small boards.. i see le, also headache..
My end product shd look like this.. The cupboard is now nicely done but standing at my living room cos I need to reshuffle my com. I wanna change a new look to my room..
Starting with this cupboard first..
Ah Di's wardrobe shd look like this
But do u know that this wardrobe has a really unique design? Guess wat's that??
Well, the back of the lower wardrobe has no back cover!!! -_-''
It means that insects can get in!! From the back, it looks super funny...
Really would like to meet the designer one day to ask him the reason for the design..
Is not practical, not logical and not sensible..
Its not a bim design or wat..
After assembling of the furniture, all of us were v shocked at this finding. We thought that they hv left out a board or something but who knows that's part of the design.
So I called Ikea to clarify my doubts..
Well, yes that's part of the design, they said.
Of cos, Ah di n I are already v hot.. Who wanna buy such a wardrobe??
As usual, I shot them upside down.. The gal who took the call was rather nice and offered that we can go down to Ikea to choose a new wardrobe of other designs n jus do the top up.
To explore all options, I called them the second time. They cant give me a full refund, can only give me back $163 out of the $300++ I paid which means that I already lost half of the wardrobe... Wat the... F the gal upside down n ask her to give me a better solution.
How abt a rebate if I still wanna retain the wardrobe.
If the point was made clear to us at the point of purchase then we have nothing to argue about.
But it was not highlighted to us, how the heck do we know? And how do we know that the design would be such unless we assemble the furniture??
She promised to call me back in an hr's time. This while, I was doing some research.
Need to have some powerful backup in case they give me shit solutions..
Finally found my ultimate weapon - The consumer Protection act law (chapter 52A) under point 4!
Meaning of unfair practice
4. It is an unfair practice for a supplier, in relation to a consumer transaction —
(a) to do or say anything, or omit to do or say anything, if as a result a consumer
might reasonably be deceived or misled;
(c) to take advantage of a consumer if the supplier knows or ought reasonably to
know that the consumer —
(i) is not in a position to protect his own interests; or
(ii) is not reasonably able to understand the character, nature, language or effect of
the transaction or any matter related to the transaction; or
Consumer’s right to sue for unfair practice
6. —(1) A consumer who has entered a consumer transaction involving an unfair practice may commence an action in a court of competent jurisdiction against the supplier.
I was not informed, in fact being deceived of the unique design. So if they are not gg to solve the issue n give me a satisfactory answer, I would use this on them.
I called them again n after much 'talking', they offered to cut a board the size of the hole n install it for us. They will b coming next week to install that so in the mean time, Ah Di cant use the wardrobe..
Overall, I m still satisfied with the way they handle n resolve the issue.
This experience would not deter me from gg to Ikea again. Would still go there for the hotdogs n meatballs. However this will teach me to be more careful in future.
Particularly like this work station, at affordable prices and can b set up at a corner.
Ah Di and I like to pretend Ikea is our big house and we r posing around.. keke.
Er... is it us or jus me?
Acting tired on the sofa..
I look like a Vietnamese.. -_-
Dear dear gave me this cute DHL lion. So many soft toys now! Keke.
STC has a very cool corner where they have a sofa and soft toys on the sofa!!
V impresssed, I took pics with them! Going to the STC is really boring..
I jus slack slack slack there while my colleagues are slogging away in the office.
