It happens when i try to get to confirm with them on the table allocation. I saw that there are only 2 tables taken out of 30 tables and of coz, out of concern i asked them why are there only 2 tables taken?? And this is wat i received instead.

[ Jul 30 (5 days ago) Hi FizaJunior, Sorry the event will be postponed to 16 & 17 October 2009 as the Clarke Quay Management has let go the dates to other organiser. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. And also please choose your booth so that I can reserved it for you. Thanks. ]

Why didnt he inform me the tyme has been postponed when i was about to make payment and this is wat he replied.

[ Jul 31 (4 days ago) Hi FizaJunior, I am still negotiating with the Clarke Quay Management to continue holding the event on 14-15 Aug. Please choose a stall no 1st. Thanks. ]

Since this is the case, ive decided to ask for my refund. The reply is this.

[ Jul 31 (4 days ago) Hi FizaJunior, I think your email might abit slow in getting the emails i sent. So last conclusion is I am still negotiating with the Clarke Quay Management. Will send you the updates by Monday. Thereafter if the event is not on, I will do the refund to you. Thanks. ]

Today is Tuesday and i still have not received any news/updates/feedbacks/REFUND from the company. Is this rite? Ive had my flea markets @ Clarke Quay with other organisers and this is the first tyme ive encountered such problems. Tats y i would like to find out from anyone else who encountered such problem. :mad:

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)

Rob82lim, have u made the booking?

Have anyone else taken this space? Do let me know as well. Thanks.

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

Nope as the date crash with suntec.

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

thanks for ur info.
i found this organizer a bit unreliable, that's y we hvnt booked any table yet.
few months ago they also post a clarke q bazar at $400 per table while others posted at $300.
after a while, the post just disappeared without any explanation.
only last week i get their email and saw their post about 14-15 august event.
they even post another one on september.

wish u luck fizabizshop on getting ur money refunded ;)

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

Hi Fiza,

I have already send u an email on the latest updates. Please check. Thanks.

Hi Aphrodite,

As I have posted previously, June is a peak period and the reason for increase in rental is the extra charge imposed by Clarke Quay Management, not by us. Reason why the other organiser is having it at a low price then is because it's organised by a school for their students as a project.

Hope this explains your queries and hope to gain your support in our events! :)

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

Hi Aphrodite, My bad for trusting a NEW company who in the end play me out! I wanted to get my money back but this is wat ive gotten from them.

[ Hi Fiza, I am sorry there is no refund made for cancellation and in the 1st place, I have waited very long for your payment to be made. After your initial payment of $225 on 23rd June, you only paid up the balance of $75 on 23rd July which is 1 month later. I can only transfer it to Sep's event. ]

The event is in AUGUST! And they have already made soooo much noise about me delaying the payment in JUNE ! and now this crap of non-refundable payment when its their FAULT for not informing us on the postpone of dates! If ive known about the changes of date way before i make the payment, do u tink i would still wan my refund for cancellation??!!!

This company is definitely unreliable and i hope the ADMIN is able to do something about this. I dont wan others to get cheated as i am now! And plus ive lost my HARD-EARNED S$300 for nothing!!!

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

Dear lleventsmarketing, i will check with Gmail on why am i the only one who didnt receive most of ur emails esp on the changes of dates!

Good luck with ur other events and dun wori, i will not 'make a big issue' in future coz this is my first and last time dealing with u guys.

Peace out!

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

FIZABIZSHOP,
i believe that it is ur right to get a table on their sept event since u already pay for it, regardless how angry and dissapointed u are with the organiser. In any case they cancel the event/bazar, they hv to refund u the whole amount.

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

I agreed with aphrodite and i noticed about the rental charges also, not only on the june clarke quay event.

Calamine charge $35/day at jelita for a week, your company charge $50/day from 4-8 October (Sunday - Thursday)

I rented 5 days at punggol plaza from another organiser on 26/06-30/06 (holiday period) at $80/day for a 2mx2m space and from your floorplan the cheapest is $100/day.

I'm just stating on how i feel, pls take it as a feedback for your reference, do not be offended :)

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

Hi Robson,

This is the rate fixed by my company. So it's up to you to choose. :) and also, not necessarily that all organisers all be having the same rate at the same place.

Hi Aphrodite,

Yes I mentioned to Fiza that he will still be participating in the Sep event but he insists on cancelling the event and asking for my refund. So that's why I told him no refund is given for cancellation. And till date after he made the payment, he has not chosen his stall yet. So I think he might be having 2nd thoughts after making the payment thus insisting on the refund.

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

LL events,
in my opinion,the mistake is made by ur company. Ur company changed the event date as far as a month from the initial date. and furthermore, ur company posted that event on monday and regulated via emails to us, stated the date of the event is 14-15 august. Even as we speak, the post has not been removed or changed.
http://retailbx.sg/resources/bazaars...l-square-1095/
Dont u think anyone who saw that post believe that the event is still on?

What makes u so sure that he's available to join ur event next month? Ur company changed the date and as a result he choose to withdrawn fm the event.
again, in my opinion,refunding his money is the most appropriate gesture, as a good will act fm ur company.

as per ur reply to robson, we hv a luxury to choose the bazar organiser but till this date i haven't found any of them changing the event date or charging more expensive than the others.
just my 2cents worth :)

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

Hi Aphrodite,

Thanks for your feedback, I will forward to my company. As for the rental rates, I guess it's up to individual organiser to price. Its up to the vendors to choose the most comfortable one. :)

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

I agree that not all organiser charge the same rate and it is up to us to choose:)
Don't take it to heart, it is only a feedback to you and to fellow forum member.
It is difficult to cover the rental and earn some decent profit on normal rental charges already, dont mention about HIGH rental charges on the same place :)
I have not joined and seen any event from your company, i apologise if your event is different to other organiser, maybe like half a page advertisement on straits time or maybe 24K 3ftx3ft gold table and chair.

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

Is the infamous "orange" the owner behind LL events? Just wondering.

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

I shall wait for the 'company' of lleventsmarketing to get back to me on this issue/refund. Until then, this person is still blacklisted from my list.

I am not trying to 'break someone's ricebowl' here but this is wat ive noticed on this 'so-called company' :-

* If this is really a company, who have i been communicating with?? No contact person / No name given...There MUST BE at least someone whom we can contact offline.

* If this is really a company, why aint i been given a receipt for my payment?? Take note that 75% of the total payment was been paid in JUNE 2009!

Maybe i can & will try to check with CLARKE QUAY management to see if there is REALLY such company trying to apply for a space there!

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

I really feel sorry for you FizaBiz. Did I see this correctly: "So that's why I told him no refund is given for cancellation.". LLEvents is NOT going to refund Fiza when LL is clearly the one in the wrong when they canceled the event and changed the dates?!?! Ermm...isn't this considered a scam? And FizaBiz, you should seriously check out this "company". I'll be sticking to my usual flea organisers for now...

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

Hi All,

We have settled the matter with Fiza directly. Thanks for all your comments and feedbacks.

Regards,
L.L Events & Marketing

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

This is wat ive received from the company via my email.

[ L.L Events & Marketing 1:41 PM (1 hour ago) Hi Fiza, My management have decided to refund you the money out of goodwill. Please kindly provide me with your account number for refund. Please note that this is an one time exception only. Thanks. ]

Ive checked my bank account and confirmed the refund.

05 Aug 2009 ITR I-BANK LL Events S$300.00

Thank you all for your feedback.

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

Hi fellow vendors and organisers,

Is this the usual practise from organiser that we can't request for refund if the event is postpone?

Re: Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (14-15 Aug)
 

Glad to hear that :applause:
