Digital@Orchard Pte Ltd
October 8, 2008
To watch F1 Night Race in Singapore, we bought a binocular : NIKON 8x40 CF Action at SQD 500 from Digital@Orchard retail shop on Orchard Street near Center Point. The seller said he gave us the very good price. At the airport, we found that NIKON 7x35 and 7x50 CF Action was sold only SQD 100-150 at Duty Free shop. We realized that we were cheated, we got the unfair price, the seller sold us 3 times higher than the real price. We also found that the selling price of NIKON 8x40 CF is USD 100 or SQD 140-150. We sent email to the seller but... read full review »

I've attended the Team Building workshop and to my surprise, the workshop was run by amateur trainers who don't have the necessary qualifications. The whole course was disorganized and the most important thing is that the qualifications were doubtful. Even the testimonial is a big fake.

This is a later cafe, previous named Red, White & Pure. but stills operate by the same management. The cafe was distasteful painted green and orange. From the look outside it look like a french cafe 'cos it stated "Patisserie". It sure sells pastry but not up to the French standard. The moccorons color is too artificial, putting too much coloring & preservative looks nice but harmful to health. If you eat the pastry, it tasted artificial too.

Seems like a charming, innocuous site, but do not be fooled! After spending a lot of money with them in January - money which was deducted from my Paypal account - to this day I neither got a confirmation email, nor did I ever receive my order. I tried to take up the claim with Paypal two months later, but they told me I was 'too late' to do anything. I beg everyone to avoid this site like the plague! I have been buying online for many years, even from companies without a physical address and had never encountered cowboys like those in the beauty business (see my other reports). read full review »

I just checked out from a room I rent in the hostel at No.2, Turf Club Road. However, the company running the hostel, Global Splendid Investment Pte Ltd, refused to fully refund me the deposit. They refunded only $100 less than the deposit. They give the following two reasons: 1. The wooden structure of one of the beds that supported the mattress was broken when I checked out. 2. The room was very dirty when I checked out. The first reason is not reasonable because the beds are of poor quality. When I first moved into the room... read full review »
