Horrible service at Mayer

baka kasi naka shorts at t-shirt ka lang nung pumunta ka dyan sa tindahan na yan. akala nangungulit ka lang at hindi naman bibili. minsan kasi sinusukat agad tayo sa suot pa lang natin.

sa Hidalgo sa taong hindi alam ang bibilhin. Hidalgo as a Photographers' "Haven" usually deal with people who know what they are looking for. Usually photographers go there to look for something they know about to the last detail. It's not a place to ask for specs.

What I usually do, I ask sa malls if I want to know about specs... or the internet for that matter as sales assistants strike me as people who just want to sell. They don't usually know all the technical stuff and all the pros and cons of the gadget they are selling.

Although I feel for you, don't expect too much from Quiapo stores.

Magkano po bili nyo sa camera?

Since my first film SLR camera, I've been going to Hidalgo. Close to two decades na yata. I've even made friends among the camera technicians there who now give me discounted service and even free equipment sometimes.

I first came to know of Mayer from my colleagues in Kodao kasi doon kami bumibili ng mga gamit. For low prices, yes, Mayer is the shop to go to.

In my first ever transaction with Ramon, Mayer's owner, nabastusan na nga ako sa taong ito. He was arrogant. Still is.

Thing is, he does offer the lowest prices for photo and video equipment.

In my years of buying things from Mayer's, some were defective. But it wasn't difficult to have them change the unit.

I've heard that Mayer's items were "creatively imported." Hindi naman ako sure rito. But after checking the internet, one wonders how could they sell so low compared with the other stores, lalo na sa mga malls.

Yes, bastos si Ramon. At he probably thinks he could be bastos because he offers the lowest prices.

i guess if u think ur happy that u were not able to buy and gave profit t them then story ends. he also have a point before u go there and ask try to search or look for it muna by urself.. ok? so chill lang... u can not please everybody dude...

If Mayer wasn't rude then true the story would have ended, but since it was the other way around, that is when the story started. And bukaneg, selling things cheap is not an excuse for being rude.

Hindi naman mura sa kanya. Mas mura pa nga sa Henry's nung nag-canvass ako kanina ng nikon d90.. Hay naku,dahil sinabi ko nag-cacanvass pa lang ako, sinabihan ba naman ako na bumalik nalang ako.. KAinis!! Akala niya wala ako pambili.. Di na ako ako babalik dun!

mas maraming murang item talaga sa mayer..pero kung ako tatanungin nyo, masgusto ko nang bumili sa iba..what's a couple of bucks na ilalabas mo..para kang nagpagupit at nagbigay ka ng TIP sa ngupit sayo dahil maganda service nya at maraming kwento habang ginugupitan ka...hndi alam ni ramon m...na sa 10 taong bumili sa kanya..3 dun hndi na ulit babalik dahil sa ugali nya..isa nako dun..sayang, pde nya naman makuha lahat ng costumer..tsk tsk tsk..you always have a choice.

actually hindi lang sya bastos, magaling pa manira! mabilis sya magpalit ng unit kasi binebenta nya lang ulit sa mga newbie na photographers who doesn't really check their units! Well, malas nalang sa mga nakabili..he's a great liar and cheater in addition to being rude...buti pa kapatid nya (watson's)..hindi katulad sa kanya.

I also had this encouter with Ramon ehre I asked for the price of a canon 450D. I also mentioned that 1 month ago, I purchased a d60 with kit lense. He asked me where did I purchased the unit and I told him sa Avenue. he said, "Kug saakin mo binili yang unit mo na yan, baka na palitan ko pa yan ng Canon 450D. hindi kasi ako kumukuha ng units for upgrade na hindi binili sakin. Mga nakaw kasi yang mga paninda nila Henry and Avenue at ayoko makielam..." Personaly, I dont care about every single word he said. The pain in the butt thing is that He thinks he has the lowest price when it comes to parts and units. where in fact there are farmore cheaper shops around which offers almost same as he's price with a positive factor na "You dont have risks of beinbg mugged"

Some says Ramon is a fine guy but does not have the time to chit chat about specs and some queries of buyers.

The best thing I could agree on is once you will be purchasing somthing from any store, do your homework. Once homework is done, do you canvas with shops in general.

Same rule applies, the cheaper they sell it the better.

Thanks,
Chris

wala sa mood yun me ari, at isa pa bago ka pumunta dun alam mong bibilhin mo and details ng camera na gusto mo and etc like me or ng mga tao dito, anong use ng internet.... hindi sa kinakampihan ko ang may ari kasi ako may ari din ng tindahan minsan nakakainis yun mga taong keep on askin na walang alam sa gusto niyang itanong (nag mamarunong) hayst!!!

Kung mag cacanvass ka, i-huli mo mayers, mas mababa talaga sa kanya, pag inuna mo sya at bumalik ka sa kanya dahil mas mura sa kanya, lagot ka, ndi na same price ang ibibigay sa'yo. rude talaga un, pero ganun talaga sya eh, minsan n akong nabiktima nyan, pero pag nasa mood yan, ok na ok. do ur research sa net, read reviews then shop for it.

I've been buying there for 7 years now. Whenever I may queries I always ask for his opinion, and I value his opinion whether it be batteries, lenses, speedlights, or DSLR bodies he has always steered my the right way. He is very brash and quite rude but its because of the sheer volume of people at his store. I've done a lot of queries: looking/canvassing even testing come lenses without the intent to buy (that equipment), but maybe because I never walk out of his store empty handed, having bought either batteries, film, tape or other stocks.

ako rin bibili Nikon d90 + kitlens nya na 18-105mm...same question naka seal pa ba mga items sa hidalgo? bubuksan sa harapan mo or kahit ikaw na magbukas? ok na ba yung 70-200 na lens?
