Floor plans and brochures are available here: http://itfairsg.com/comex2012/
Newbies to such IT shows like COMEX, do note the followings:
1) Double-check with the promoters present that all prices advertised are inclusive of GST. All prices advertised/listed in any media should be inclusive of GST and if you find anyone tries to scam you by adding GST in, make a report to IRAS.
2) Check if they charged extra for using credit card or nets...if you are paying cash, draw your money first before you go down to Suntec City becos all the ATMs there got long queue...
3) If they tell you that they will upgrade the RAM for you, make sure they do it in front of you...also ask for name of the sales person who promise you the any upgrade because there are many dispute in the past about this issue.
4) check and ask about the warranty.. like whether it is manufacturer warranty or retailers warranty...also whether it is on-site warranty or not...for eg Dell monitor is on-site warranty...etc. Some warranty are registered online while some you have to submit the warranty card. If you are unsure, call with the sales office of the brand. Normally for big brands, warranty are registered online nowadays. However do note that for extended warranty, normally warranty card are given...like Samsung.
5) Dont forget to redeem your free gift immediately, lots of ppl so anxious after getting their buys gone straight home and then return the next day only to find that all free gifts are fully redeemed.
6) For you laptop, check your configure before you go home, if it is stated 6gb ram or 1gb graphic card, switch on the computer and check the computer hardware properties to verify...
7) For those buying bulky stuff like 32'-40" TV, do note that you have to take cab if you are not driving becos MRT at Suntec do not allow you to enter with such bulky items.
8) Lemon Law starts on 1 Sep 2012, so I would advise to you to buy on Sat and Sun instead of Thur and Fri. First day of the show is normally for pple who wish to try their luck to get display set at really knock-down prices. Friday is just for ppl to recce, take note of the items they wanto buy and then do research on the net.
WARNING:
1) Never buy from these retailers who have consistent track record of scamming customers: Newstead/MC2/@notebook, Ray Technology, CH2. Check the floor plans in the links I have provided above to find where they are and avoid them. Newstead have many booths there, so becareful.
2) Forget about doing trade-in with PC-Dreams, they will try to bluff customers by advertising high value for your computer, but then when you bring it there,they will try to chop you and value it much lower giving all sorts of fuckup reasons. Then they will sell it at much higher prices in their SLS shops. So remember, never deal with PC Dreams...you will get much better value selling it yourself on the net.
This is all, have a nice time at COMEX and shop smart...
