MyDeals.com.my runs a lousy online store (DO NOT BUY FROM THIS GROUP AT ALL)

[Latest Update] : MyDeal.com.my have refunded back the RM99 Minion Talking Dave. However, to serve as a reminder to all about this lousy handling of MyDeal, please do be very careful before you make a purchase on any items promoted by MyDeal.com.my. There's a possibility stock has already finished and they still promote it in hoping they get more profit out of unsuspecting customers. This is just a hunch. 

Always opt for COD or meet the seller directly. I find this kind of discount or group purchase not very reliable and stable.
 
Author's note : MyDeal.com.my you have been warned by me not to remove my postings. You did it again and even banned me from your Facebook.

Last three months, somewhere in July 2013, my girlfriend bought 1 Minion Talking Dave (RM99) from MyDeal.com.my and as agreed upon payment, the receipt (a generated email) stating that the toy will be delivered before 15th September 2013. Until today, there's not even a single sight of the delivery. Anyhow, between July 2013 and 15 September 2013 period, that's not a long duration to buy, check, pack and delivery to customers but one thing that made the whole deal becomes as lousy and stinks as a bowl of shit is the non-commitment attitude to deliver and the lousy attitude of its' customer care team. 

The whole deal of repetitive of standard email reply by MyDeal.com.my is just not helping at all. There is no assurance as to whether your purchase will ever get delivered. It's the "tidak-apa" attitude. So, the question is why bother with email request on status. All they could do was "If you can't wait-then request a full refund" to tell you off. 

My girlfriend and I have waited for 2 1/2 months and tomorrow is October, that made it 3 months in total. Still, there is no feedback and/or one sincere status report given by MyDeal.com.my to their customers. As a result of non-responsive customer care, I decided to go do some checking on their Facebook page. To my dismay, it's not just me but there are so many customers already complaining about their purchase not being delivered, nobody picks up their call and countless of in-ethical deletion of complaints posted there. 

 

Proof 1.0 : Complains of customer who did not receive their purchase. 

So, it's just not me alone who are facing this problem buying one RM99 Minion Talking Dave from MyDeal.com.my. Other customers who bought other stuffs did not get their purchase deliver too.

I began to put up some questions which have led to countless of complains and warnings and then MyDeal.com.my began to start removing my complains from their Facebook page. Here's a proof which another customer, by the name Martin Handoko, suffers the same fate, his enquiry was unethically deleted by MyDeal.com.my. 

All you have to do is just go to Hundreds of complaints for undelivered promises

Dear MyDeal.com.my, just because you are the middle man selling things on behalf of other sellers, it doesn't mean you just grab the money and don't give any care to your buyers. You are responsible to your buyers. You need to be pro-active on the whole deal. 

1. You always send the wrong response email to me despite me giving you my order number. That make me think, you are not doing a very good job. Probably, it's a monkey on the keyboard.

2. Standard "tidak-apa" attitude reply. Why don't you go after the sellers and come back to us with a better answer. Even if you want to give us a full refund, how long will it take you to give me back my money. I seriously doubt I would ever get my money back.

3. Promises are meant to be kept. If you can't deliver within the stipulated agreed date-time, do not sell the product at all. Or, you can personally email and call everyone and apologize to all your customers. You have fail on this too. Yeah, why would you, right? Afterall, my money is already in your account. The hell with me, right?

As a result, this whole affair of buying things from MyDeal.com.my is so much like a scam. I felt MyDeal.com.my has cheated my money. 

My order number : 1384206. 

Again, I wonder when will it arrive? Or Will I ever get a refund?

I am not happy at all with this kind of dealings. I have decided to put this post up so it serve as a lesson and guide to all future online group purchasers. 
 

williamwilstroth... mydeal.com.my sucks, don't buy from them.

Malaysia on the table of a Mamak Stall.

Malaysia in general, is everything on a table of a mamak stall. There's the talk on the General Election GE13, sports, numbers and other stuffs to go through the night over several cups of teh tariks. Not to mention, the prices had gone up considerably over time since I last had one glass of teh tarik four months ago. It still taste as sweet as before.

1. The 13th General Election had gone by, with some certain quarters not liking how the result had came out. Several rallies had been staged and the opposing parties is bringing the results to court for unfairness and so on. I don't blamed them because the numbers tallied doesn't really on par with the number of parliament seats that were allocated. My Facebook's page were fully busted with so many postings of unfairness and cheating here and there by people who were monitoring the election. I can only sit back and wait. So, I am going to see, down the road, which party will earn the most honor points in the next five years. Both parties will fall under heavy scrutiny by the rakyat. 

2. Dinner event, I was chosen to represent my department and I was put in-charge with setting up banners, streamers, logos and last minute, a video or animation; supposedly to depict the company's historical growth. Banners, streamers and logos were as easy as it is but the animation was not so because i had lost touch with Director. It took me two days to re-familiarize with the software. Guess what? Macromedia Director is the 90s, ADOBE Director 12 is the "now" software. Though it was bought over by ADOBE, the functionality like sprites and Lingo Scripts stays. The animation went smooth despite the audio was a little bit jerky. 

3. My girlfriend is busy engrossing herself with cooking vegetarian food. She bought a nice and thick vegetarian cook book. It has at least 400 types of menu in it; and all is vegetables and other tofus. I had been having vegetarian food for lunch and dinner. I missed pork, beef, chicken and fish. One of these days, I will need to buy back some fish and chicken to eat. Not to mention, roasted pork. I always say, "A Chinese menu is not Chinese until the roasted pork comes in and sit on the table.". There you go, my diet for the past three months. Vegetarian, aye. And nay, I still eat some pork and fish once in a while to even out my diet. 

4. My gig on animation with Director lasted for two weeks only. Now I am back doing my usual stuff in the office. Development and troubleshooting SAP stuffs. It is still as challenging and interesting as animating some graphics with Director and edited using Photoshop. The company dinner won't come for another two years. Now here's the interesting part of the story, if you are new to the company, there is high chances you will be pick to participate in organizing the event. Furthermore, if you are from IT dept, you are most likely expected to prepare stuffs that is related to IT like design using softwares or multimedia presentation. However, all these could be sourced out to a designer house, but time given, if it is short period, you will need to roll up your sleeve and do the heavy work. Tough luck, I should've told them I am not good at multimedia design. Anyway, it's done and past. I feel relieved and at home I feel like a free man because I don't have to do extra job on the photo editing and going over again the animation sprites.

Beer, cigars and sex are man's biggest sin... I only have the first and the last; not the middle one. Go figure...

williamwilstroth... election, dinner event, multimedia, hope, sex...

Experience living with an owner. If you don't like it, get out.

I had just moved out a week ago to a new and better place. Now, I have my own kitchen, living room, the balcony, the laundry room and 3 other bedrooms to myself. That means I can do whatever I want and need. The reason I moved out of my rented room was due to the following reasons. 

1. Crazy live-in owner. There are moments he's mood is blown off, like you forget to pay your dues. Neither talking to you nor just ignoring you off. Although you tried talking to him but the returned feeling is like you owed him money. My pride had fallen because the owner's frequent ignoring my greetings made me feel unwanted. Fortunately, when the time comes to paying my rental, he will be magically happy and all-smiling to you. This was the last straw.

2. The room rent is RM400. Although it is as good as it seems because it is fully furnished with all the perks but I am not sure if he'd hiked it up since I moved out. It's a small room with a queen size bed that largely took up the whole room. And I had to move the bed to another corner so the room looks spacious. 

3. There's ample of parking space but you need to rent it. It's RM140 per month. The parking condition is good except that I parked near a construction site and a lot of used and rusted nails kept falling onto my parking space. It's dangerous if I don't regularly check the floor for some of it. Although I had a choice not to rent it and park out of the condominium's area but I am worried about my car's safety. So I had no choice but to rent one out for my car. 

However, this is the condition in the island. Those who can't park inside, they had to endure muddy parking or park along the roadside at your own risk. I find this is dangerous. Aiyo, my car's Proton only lar, no problem lar. Then, you are good enough to park there.

4. So altogether, I am paying RM540 for this place that I can only do light cooking and practically can't do much. You come to your room, eat, sleep, shit and go to work. It's a prison staying in this room. 

6. That's not all, I need to add in some utility bills like RM34 (on average if you tried hard to save) for the electricity bill. Water is dirt cheap RM2 yet he claimed he brings water back from Ipoh to save water. What the fuck?!

6. Then all together, the total is RM574. If you look at this figure, it's almost RM600. Why don't I go out and try to find my own place with this RM600? And I don't have to endure this sour plum owner? And guess what, I do and did pay my dues, and kept your house clean, asshole.

7. Moreover, you cannot bring back your girlfriend for a night over. Shitty life, huh? Shitty life for the owner and I don't intend to lead a shitty life.

8. There's no fair wear and tear staying here, anything that's broke, you are the first to be blamed for the damage. "You broke it", said the owner. It's a wooden door attach to a bathroom. You expect it to stay in size after getting splashed so many times by our bath water? And you blamed it on us and claimed you didn't know that the door is not plastic? Shit. So, it's risky staying there. If the washing machine or the microwave breaks down, be prepared to pay for it on your own because the owner will eventually say, "You broke it".

9. He's fairly nice to the other room mate. What did I do to deserve this? The other room mate is not that good either. He's way of washing the toilet is just scrubbing the walls and floors only. He left things un-closed after using most of the electronic appliance. So, this is a good tenant I guess. 

 

I guessed all these bullying is due to the fact I did not sign any agreement with him. That's make him brave to do anything all above that seems one sided.

So, after four months of soul searching and an agent who helped me, I finally found a modest, clean and good to live for a long period condominium unit. It is so much better than the room I had rent one week ago. 

1. I don't have to live with an owner. The owner lives in the mainland. She seems a nice lady. She even allowed me to nail a few places to put up my stuffs. And even let me rent out one room to anyone, if I wanted to do so. She's nice. 

2. The plus is the owner does not live with me. 

3. I can do my own cooking irregardless light or heavy ones.

4. I have my own freedom to do whatever I like as long as I stay within my lines as a tenant as stipulated in the contract. Yes, there's a contract and I intend to keep it as my word to the owner.

Conclusion, if you guys are trying to rent my room at 104-02-06, Villa Emas, Penang, think twice. The owner might seem nice at the beginning, but it is not so rosy after that because he's a fussy prick. I had endure it for 7 months. It's time for me to go to a better place. What more can I say? Biasa lar, kalau tak suka, keluar lar! So, I am keluar-ing lor.

Advice : Be cautious and always think twice hard before renting a room with a live-in owner. Serious.

williamwilstroth... that's why I am moving out...
