Electrical hunt


It has been quite for a while. Actually life is busy for the past few days... House renovation is 70% ready. They are few more item need to be confirmed otherwise everything should be on track.



We are searching for electrical stuff ie. fridge, aircond, water heater, washing machine, TV and few more others. Went hunting from normal electrical shop to the big one like Harvey Norman and Best Denki. Electrical I am not keen to go for warehouse sale. One of the reasons is the warranty... and if I compare the price, normally the difference will be a few hundreds buck only. But again, that few hundred bucks difference compared to the warranty given by the electrical shop, I prefer the one with warranty.



We end up buying our electrical stuff all at Best Denki One Utama. Why Best Denki? Well the day that we went there, they are cash voucher for purchase at certain range value. Example if I buy fridge at a price of 3299, I will get a cash voucher worth 200 bucks. On top of that, for item that we are looking for (TV, Fridge and aircond), is definitely cheaper than all other shops that we went. Panasonic 42 inch plasma goes at 2999 (but this one is a best buy so no more voucher), Hitachi Fridge that we are looking at cost around 300 cheaper than other shops and that not including the cash voucher. Hubby and I don't have much energy to scout for the electrical item anymore, so we decided to make the biggest purchase ever there. Being calculative I am, I calculate the payment to gain more cash voucher. Split the payment into three, first two payments is to gain the cash voucher and the third payment is to settle the TV using cash voucher with remaining balance.

Updated * - The other reasons why I choose big shops is they allow you to pay using credit card or even better do easy payment with no interest charge. Small electrical shops usually charge you 2% from the amount of your item when you want to use your credit card. But on top of that...the item that i bought is still cheaper in Best Denki.



Overall we are happy that day...One mission accomplish! Next will be lightings, and paint.




Some stuff we manage to secure for our new home..all at reasonable price (that is what i am force to believe so hehe)
