Calling all "10-Day No Shopping" girls! ignite your freebie hunting skills on 3-9th September, 2009!
Task 4 - CHANELING YOUR POWERS
If you have a copy of The Star Newspaper today 2/9/09 flip to StarTwo Page T7 and you'll see a whole page advertised by Chanel to introduce their "Ultra Correction Lift". Tear the page down like a hungry she-biatch and visit your nearest Chanel @ Parkson Counter to discover the product and take hom a 2-piece sample to try. There will be loads of promotion going on for this event and even a RM150 fully redeemable Workshop to learn all about this and how to make up.REMEMBER your task is to TRY not "BUY before you TRY". It should be "TRY before you BUY".
Candy went to Pavilion Chanel using the newspaper cutting to redeem the sample. She was told she could not redeem because "its only for members". Based on exactly what's advertised on the page, it does not even say MEMBERS ONLY. Chanel and/or it's staff - by rejecting Candy and/or any other customers based on this advertisement in The Star Newspaper, not only make consumers angry but they could also violate consumer rights viz "MISLEADING AND DECEPTIVE CONDUCT, FALSE REPRESENTATION AND UNFAIR PRACTICE" using Bait Advertising to lure customers to their counter with the intention of not supplying/giving the samples.You can read Consumer Protection Act (Malaysia) Part II - Section 13, 14 (And whatever that is applicable).
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

I hope its not just Chanel Pavilion that made Candy unhappy. If anyone has been rejected/unhappy about this you may call Chanel to lodge a complain/report to seek an explanation.

ReplyDeleteBring the page to redeem just in case bcoz it's your best weapon against:
"Sorry Miss don't know what you're talking about"
or
"Sorry u need page to redeem"

hey miu, can la.. use the newspaper can get the free sample. I know coz I bring kawan along and newspaper, the gal got call office asked and say can take!!
ReplyDeleteI think if the counter do not provide sample as advertised, this could be due to communication breakdown from Chanel management to their staffs.
ReplyDeleteBut the Chanel staffs should at least take effort resolve this asap so that the public is not mislead by this.
Buaya Wing, i know la. joking only ma.
