Need Help - Bazaar Rental Dispute

swee18

Hi,

I rented a booth over weekend as I was drawn to the advertisment that organisers used to draw vendors..

It was stated that crowds are confirmed!!! in bold red. But it ended up to be very empty that resulted in very poor sale~!! I have already given my feedback to the organiser demanding for a partial refund.. What are the chances that I will get part of my money back since they don't deliver what they have promised?

Any government organisation that I approach to complaint? I tried CASE & Small Claims Tribunals and BAILIFFS SECTION. Seems like they don't deal with this type of complaint..

If this organiser don't reply by wednesday, I will put up the whole story up here to warn everyone to stay off this organiser~!!

I think I got the answer already.. I think I will need to approach Civil Justice Division.. Anyone know any other way?

which organiser and which area is that?

i was at a flea market with bad turnout too. a few of us petition for refund. the organiser didnt even bother with us even tho the rent is like $20 (for me) to $60. i sold only a measly $8 of product cos there was hardly any traffic, other than the other sellers and our friends. haiz.. lost out on my taxi fare to reach that place too

anyway it's hard to "confirm" crowds. we vendors can only assess the amount of publicity, as well the type of publicity, involved

mount faber safra... i was at mount faber safra... if I can find a few more people to do a petition and report this to Civil Justice Division, our stand could be stronger...

you may want to try?

precisely, if you dare to confirm crowds.. you better make sure that you can deliver or else be prepared to refund the rental fees...

if there is a crowd and I cannot make any sale.. then I will resign to my fate.. the average number of people that walk past my booth?? 1 per hour... how pathetic is that?

Hmm.... Safra... I was there too and I pay $90 for 2 days

I agreed that there are no crowds and it was out of my expectation...

But because of my unique products, I manage to have enough sales with profits

hi,Lucky i was about to take but got no time to take.I was told of CONfirm Crowd too & even email to me that Booths are taken FAST,askme to HURRY Confirm a booth upon payment.

From what i know safra member or public actually can book a booth for a price range of only less then $25-$55 max for a day or 2.How much was the rental they charge you?i think they charge a much higher rental.Unless Safra got special event or free gifts for members if not,is quiet & sun slightly better crowd then sat.

I been to a school bazaar of similar problem like yours & we got almost all the vedors of around 20 people to sign a petition to ask for full or partial refund.Cos even the space was the same but the REntal charges to different vendors are all DIFFERent price.Endup that fellow just totally went missing without any news & dont even answer his hp!

To Lodge a complaint to whoever,black&white is very important & what they stated inside of what you sign also affects whether your complaint is it applicable.Hope you get news from them soon,if not just no choice take it as a learning lesson & dont book from them in the future.
