    For all bros to take noted.

    Last week Thursday, i bought the classica cabinet stand from K&K Aquarium and the the china man with round face mentioned the price is $160. i asked him to reduce the price to $140. Then i thought the price is right, i bought the stand And informed them will come and collect next day. Next day when i go and collect my stand and i asked the china man with round face to help me to carry the stand to my car. He said cannot and he just put the cabinet to the side And he don't care. Now i have nobody to help me to carry the cabinet and i asked another china man from shop help me to carry the stand. This is the 1st point their customer service is too bad. Then this week i went there to buy the plants for my fish tank and i saw one more new stand arrived that indicate the price is $110 only. I was very angry and fed up about their price is not right for customers and they just anyhow say the price. I decided not to buy from this sjop and came back to home. The reason why i write this thread is i don't want other bros to be happened like me. Pls kindly take noted all bros and before buy anythings pls check the price properly. I hope this my thread can help K&K Aquarium boss to improve their services and to be their price is right. If others bros got see the shop that has right price, pls kindly share with me.Thanks for all bros for your time.

    Bro, K & K have a famous reputation for high prices and the staff there do not have any knowledge about the things they sell. I agree with you.
    Fish keeping is not a good hobby unless you received support from your family to keep them.

    The question you should ask is what price are other shops selling the same item for. If K&K selling for much more than other shops, then I agree the shop is expensive.

    But there is nothing wrong with a shop lowering the price on the items they sell. $140 to $110 is about 20% discount.

    Imagine last month you go EastOcean to buy the z-series LED light for $XXX. Today EastOcean say got 20% discount, what's wrong with that?

    As for the other point about salesperson should volunteer to help you carry bulky items to car, I agree they should help...

    though I do agree that somethimes the prices of K&K may be a little high, but think about it, if you live in Tampines area and have to go to Seaview each time you want some small items, the price will add up, plus the time. K&K do bring down their prices if you know what's the price of the same item in other places. the china boy, I will not call him a man, he's much younger then me, do help me carry my stuff if they are bulky when I ask him....... ok, I am quite a regular there....

    It all depends on how u ask for help, by right its cash and carry, so there is no help if u are stranger and ask as if they owe it to u to carry.

    As for pricing, many factors, I not too surprise things that are low tech get cheaper everyday.

    Yes, their price is on the high. Most of us who live at the east side know that. My advise is if you live around there
    go to Kohaku Aquarium and Fishing Accessories 416 Bedok North Avenue 2, Singapore 460416 ‎ +65 6446 0884
    their service is better....

    Thumbs up for the shop at Bedok.

    She even reminded me to make sure i hold the fish on my other hand away from my packed food.
    Else go home become fish soup already.

    I was there on Saturday afternoon, the shop has a comprehensive list of accessories and fish food and medicine. Some of the things are found only in bigger shops, and some other things are rare, for example they have a water skimmer adaptor for normal overhead filter. I would say it is one of the best managed fish shop i have come across, similar standards to Petmart in Serangoon North. And the price is low too! Only cons is they dun sell shrimps, haiz....

    I also visited the shop in the same block, nothing to shout about, a lot less stuff.

    I also visited the shop one bus stop away, north. This shop is opposite Yu Neng primary school, it is at the coffee shop. I tell u, this shop is so messy and is run by Dr Fumanchu.... i dare not even step in!

    hobby related ones can, if it's a established one. But hobbyist short forms terms not as vast as our sms lingo. i use them too but reserved to whatsapp, sms & Skype.

    it's worth the effort to do so since other people besides locals visit the forum and contribute. everyone understands standard English, but not everyone understands when we localize the already chopped short-forms.

    No that I am defending the shop or have any shares in it, but every time I am there I get top notch service......

    Just last week, I went bought a couple of things, in a few bags and I got the chinese boy to help me carry the stuff to the car, which was parked two car parks away, no problems...... when I told the boss I wanted to make a paludarium, he even gave me a free CD to learn how to do it....
