Coach Clearance Sale Hoax

Today is a SUNDAY during my HOLIDAY and I woke up EARLY for the one-day only Coach clearance sale held at Armada Hotel.

They (organized by Bebito Luxury Deal Enterprise) had advertised that the sale would be from 9am - 4pm and lured people with special promotions. The 1st 10 customers who spend RM2000+ will receive a free Coach gift worth RM180 and the 1st 10 who spend RM1000+ will receive an additional 10% off.


What a bunch of BULLSHIT!!


My mum, cousin and I arrived around 9.15am and GUESS WHAT?!?!



EVERYTHING WAS SOLD OUT!!!!
 


We didn't even get to go inside the ballroom!!

As you can see there was a HUGE mob of people waiting outside for answers from the management.



Some people started banging on the door and there were a lot of swearing going on. The commotion went on for some time and one of the person-in-charge finally came out to explain.



The lady in pink recorded the whole damn thing and said she was going to post it on Youtube.
So stay tuned =P

It was explained that there were only limited items (how many? like 50? 100? 500?) and everything was sold out. Then why advertise it as CLEARANCE SALE and stated a time duration from 9am - 4pm which is clearly a long time for limited items sales!

There were not only problems with angry shoppers who did not even get a glimpse of the bags. There were problems with payment for those few lucky shoppers as well.



For some reason or another, the credit card machine brokedown and those lucky few who probably got there super early and got what they wanted had to wait for their friends to come over with cash -_-''

On a side note, we spotted 江伟翰 (Monday Kang Wei Han), a local celebrity with a weird English name XD. I only remember him from 美食厨师男 (Romantic Delicacies) but mum said he acted in a few other shows as well.



You can't see his face in the picture cause I was not tall enough and there were too many people around. I got a clear view of him while we were waiting for the lift when we decided to leave but I was too embarrass to take his photo in such an indiscreet way x_X

 My dream of owning a 名牌包包 (branded bag) was crushed thanks to these stupid organizers >_<

Mind you they were REALLY STUPID. People who came all the way and paid parking for no reason asked for a refund and they gave us stamps for a flat rate of RM4 when it only cost RM2 for the first hour -_-'' I wonder if the people who parked at the private parking (RM5 per entry) got anything at all.



THANKS FOR
WASTING OUR FUCKING TIME



Note: Apparently something similar had happened in Penang before with the same organizer. So beware.

Since you couldn't get it, I think you better go for another brand. I don't really like coach because you can see everyone is using it like seriously. Anyway, I think you're not the only one who get pissed off. I'm sure this happened to everyone who has been there. Stay cool girl, a lot to come.:) Just wait and see. Maybe next time you have to be there 2 hours before it starts. Hehe!
