Last week my mum asked me to buy a few boxes of incense for her.
So when I happened to passby this neighborhood shop selling
religious offerings products, i went in & take a look. It's the
1st time i bought from this shop... since I'm in a hurry
& price seem slightly cheaper, without much thought I
bought a box. When I reached home, I realised the cover is a little
loose, i opened & checked...
I noticed the package inside seem smaller, so to
compare, I took another box of incense, SAME brand & size which
my mum bought previously from another shop. After that, i decided
to confront the uncle, at the same time to check whether if the
uncle is to blame or some one might have changed the package
without his knowledge. When I asked him, why the package i
bought is smaller? He
claimed that ALL the others are the same size as the one I
bought & denied that it's smaller. He then took
another 'new' box of incense from his display shelf, opened up
& showed it to me.
I said to him this is not the 1st time I have use this brand
& I have another box at home. The uncle keep silence for a
while, staring at his shelf... then he replied, "when the products
came in it's like that one", he then showed me his box of incense
at my face AGAIN... wtf. At the point, I also noticed MOST of the
seals on the boxes have been removed or damaged. so i questioned
him on that... NOW his reply was most of the customers open
up to check before buying, so there's no big deal about
it. (Now obviously he trying to cheat his way
out)
To shorten the story, he later gave all sort of lame
excuses during the argument, and INSISTED he had done nothing
wrong, but what really pissed me off was at the end, he said
that he is selling religious products to help people and will never
cheat their customers. I told him that he's just operating a
dishonest business using the name of religion, nothing more...
& I walked off while he was still mumbling.
JUST A REMINDER
- There are LOts of scams & petty cheats these days,
so be extra careful of ANY products & services u are PAYING
FOR. (For those who use this or similar products, please share
especially with your elderly parents, ask them to check
carefully before buying.)
but the smaller box in the picture is also in proper
packaging
doesn't look like it's been opened
and you said it is cheaper also
???
