Why do people parallel import? Is because there are demand from many ppl similar to you...
Otherwise ppl parallel import for what? I need to apply import license, a wharehouse, staff, logistics -

Anyway, when countries do FTA, parallel import has been agreed to be curbed... As ppl no point want to invest... I advertise the product so much, spend so much $$, end up all these importers steal the show... No point I invest in SG, I just retrench ppl... -
it is normal for individuals to seek cheaper products.Originally posted by mistyblue:I think its a wake up call...
when i was in switzerland the swiss crossed the border into germany for cheaper groceries too.
who will worry about how it affects the economy or the industry? -
When that happens when 1 day our retail industry all with parallel imported goods...Originally posted by dragg:it is normal for individuals to seek cheaper products.

Dun come and tell ppl saying this product dun suit our taste... Or no english word manual or quality sucks -
Anyway...
I have known from ppl at MNC are seriously considering quitting SG from these parallel imports... -
frankly, i give up.Originally posted by sbst275:When that happens when 1 day our retail industry all with parallel imported goods...

No point...Originally posted by dragg:frankly, i give up.
You can't put the shoes off the ones that really does the job doing advertising or sort...
And the provision shop selling the actual products... All those $1 shop stealing the biz
Singaporeans thinking too simple... I think 1 day we would be eaten up by Thailand -
that is for the government to worry. not us. we are consumers, we dont worry for the vendors.Originally posted by sbst275:No point...

If you continue this thinking, I suggest you dun work in retail sector...Originally posted by dragg:that is for the government to worry. not us. we are consumers, we dont worry for the vendors.
Dun worry??? Govt to worry... dragg, I tell you think, consumers yes you are... But, such thinking will make SG poor, and 1 day, it gets rampent... Fake goods will appear, trust me -
Reason very simple...
When it comes to 1 stage when parallel importers just sprang and govt cannot control... Ppl will take the opportunity to come in fake goods... Because no one controls and ppl just want cheaper goods no matter the quality. -
are you a vendor?
go tell what you have just said to any consumer.
consumers only worry about how much they have to spend on goods. they dont consider the whole market when buying.
please, think like a consumer when you are a consumer. -
If I think only like a consumer, I dun want to see fake goods into my handsOriginally posted by dragg:are you a vendor?

Nope, I am not... But I have been told of dangerous Singaporean behaviour, in fact, you dun know the parallel importers are behind laughing... They can make as much as 100% margin, dun need to do ads... In fact, the Thais have been laughing at us... -
I see the parallels again, of imported goods and import talents (aka FT)Originally posted by sbst275:If I think only like a consumer, I dun want to see fake goods into my hands

consumers wont care whether a thai or a singapore is making. and who cares how much they are making as long as the consumer can get the same goods at a cheaper price. -
Even the Chinese,
do a batch of pooer quality goods and can earn lots from Singaporeans... That's why these ppl mock at Singaporeans, dun know can make easy $$ from them... At the same time, collapsing their industry and we Chinese/ Thai come and dominate, starve Singaporeans -
Ha...Originally posted by dragg:if you are talking about fake goods then it is different.

I hate such behaviour where ppl let importers earn easy $$.. As good as stealing, crime act! -

do you mean to tell me everytime you purchase something you worry about who is making the money and whether it affects singapore's economy instead of your own pocket? -

In fact, many chinese vendors have such saying... -
Well, whatever we do... The ecomomy is at stake... Jobs, investment flow and everything... Later, govt come and cut CPF contri rate or so... That's hell sufferingOriginally posted by dragg:haha,

Well, if you think retail sector grew by 10%, think again...
The 10% came from parallel imports sales, otherwise, retail actual sales plunged by 20% -
The MIW dun care as long there is money gtg into their pocketsOriginally posted by sbst275:Well, whatever we do... The ecomomy is at stake... Jobs, investment flow and everything... Later, govt come and cut CPF contri rate or so... That's hell suffering
