its the same clearance sale as the parkroyal one last year???
April 28th, 2008 at 9:03 am
what brands available besides Guess?
April 28th, 2008 at 9:54 am
Anyone know is this the same type of sale as Parkroyal one ? It will be attractive if it is of the same kind….except bad Q experience.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:11 am
yup. it should be like the parkroyal one. Besides Guess, there is also Guess Watches, Banana Republic, Celine, GAP, GAP kids, La Senza, Marc Ecko Watches, Nautica Watches, Nike Timing, Paint 8 & Raoul. Will give updates after i go for the Friday HSBC credit card members exclusive preview.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:57 am
yupp..same like parkroyal.. will go also there this friday..
April 28th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
got guess perfurm tak?
April 28th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
i just received my hsbc card. Will go there this Fri too.
April 28th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
any public transport to go there?? LRT? bus?
April 28th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
i heard it was terrible Q. Any good stuff to buy ?
April 28th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
If this will be the same type, then those who wanted to go must prepare for long Q to pay at cashier. I have been there twice last year at Parkroyal, Q for pymt can be up to 1-1 1/2 hrs.Zig-zag one & a lot of ppl jump the Q. Moreover this Fri sure a lot of ppl take connecting leave……Really hope that they can improve on this.
Anyway, anyone can tell me how to go from KL side (driving) ? TQ.
April 28th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
Based on personal experience from the last couple of sales, I say it’s worth the queuing up.
Public transport: LRT - Bangsar station, after that you could take a cab to Telawi, as the feeder bus doesn’t exactly stop right smack in the area.
If you decide to take the feeder bus, take the one heading towards Pusat Bandar Damansara and get off at the first stop (some Indian curry house or something like that).
April 28th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
hmm..im going too…but you guys yang pergi on friday…make sure tell us about anything interesting…but dont buy so much la…after i go, udah abis 1!!!hehehe
April 28th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
what is the difference between this warehouse sales and the fj ben amin outlets in queen’s park and damansara ??
is there a big difference?
April 29th, 2008 at 1:22 am
hi, the preview sales day for hsbc card holder, must we pay using the credit card? Mine is a sub card i really don’t wish to let my mom know i buy how much la..
April 29th, 2008 at 1:26 am
err.. i found out that must pay with credit card
anyway must use the mailer oni can go in?
April 29th, 2008 at 3:26 am
Do remember that this time, it is held in Bangsar Village. Indicating that it might not be as cheap as the one they had in Park Royal. Plus, the last one they had in Park Royal was not as good as previous ones. Items prices went higher. But definitely worth a try.
April 29th, 2008 at 5:36 am
last time i went to this sale.. they didn’t force you to pay via card but if pay by credit card on that day you will get extra 10% disc.. absolutely will go and hope will grab few bags and clothes
April 29th, 2008 at 8:29 am
In order for you to qualify for Preview Day admission, you must show your HSBC credit card. However, you may choose to use other credit card or cash when make payment. If you pay by HSBC card, of course you will entitle for additional 10% disc.
April 29th, 2008 at 9:33 am
I didnt receive the mailer. Must I bring the mailer to enter or can I just enter with my HSBC card? Dont want to go all the way tehre to be denied entry!
April 29th, 2008 at 10:09 am

April 29th, 2008 at 11:04 am

April 29th, 2008 at 11:33 am

April 29th, 2008 at 12:02 pm

April 29th, 2008 at 12:28 pm

April 29th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
hi donna,
if u dont have the invitation card or hsbc card, you can only go on saturday and sunday, not on friday…u should go with a friend who has hsbc card…
amy, last year i didnt bring my mailer, i juz showed my hsbc card….they didnt deny my entry, but not sure this time whether they’ll want the mailer or not…(i havent receive my mailer too this year…)
EH, in the mailer its written one invitation card can admit 2 people…
April 29th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
i call up hsbc just now. they say you can still enter on the 2nd without the invitation card. just show your credit card. 1 credit card can admit 2 people.
April 29th, 2008 at 1:42 pm

April 30th, 2008 at 9:57 am

April 30th, 2008 at 10:57 am
thanx izie
April 30th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
wondering, which one is the new wing building eh? is it the building with the Raoul boutique? confused now..
April 30th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
amai.. based on previous warehouse sale last year at parkroyal
lasenza undies - rm4 for 1
la senza bra - rm60 for 2
lingerie- rm 50 for 2 or rm60 for 2
guess shoes- rm79 (or was it rm89) per pair
guess bags/purses- rm40 above
raoul shirts- rm120/rm100 cant exactly remember
guess tops/pants- from rm50 above
paint 8 (kids) - tops rm15, pants/jeans rm20
gap kids - from rm10
year 2006 was better than 2007 as it was held in the ballroom on the upper level- more spacious- better price but no guess shoes.
year 2007 got guess shoes but was held at the lower level, very sempit n suffocating. higher prices a bit for raoul compared to 2006.
hv no idea pricing for the guess watches but i think if i can remember correctly its rm150 above. but one thing i remember for sure is that the warranty is not 1year. its either 6 months/3 months.
April 30th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
ali,
i dont think you can juz print the mailer..anyway, eventhough you dont have the mailer, but if you have a hsbc card, you can go in..
April 30th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
thank you dee…..i’m on leave on friday so looking forward to go there early in the morning. luckily my sis have hsbc card and she agreed to pay for me…yahoo!!…can get additional 10% discount
April 30th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
dee,
tq sooo much for the info..
last year did they have the high heel guess shoes?
April 30th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
bankrupt la aku bulan ni…..banyak sangat warehse sale
May 1st, 2008 at 2:37 am
went there once during at park royal..
bought several tshirt for my nieces and nephews, bought a pair of jeans for my self, a tshirt…so got around 7 pieces cost me around rm250
May 1st, 2008 at 2:00 pm
fida.. yup, the killer 4 inch stilettos,platform,monogram wedges etc. not from the latest season tho. but who cares right?
but pls be aware that some of their shoes has pig skin lining. so for muslims, pls look for 3dots.. i bought a few in 2006, hoping that i can sumwat have the lining change, then samak etc. but the whole change lining process was so complication, it’ll cost rm100+. might as well buy a new heels, right?
dunno hows the pricing gonna be tis year.. from the look of the other warehouse sales, price wise is increasing. just hope that at least they maintain.
have fun shopping tomorow!
May 1st, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Guys, the sale already started today, went there during dinner and bamn,every other person walking about in bangsar village was carrying the blue bags…people were picking up lots of stuff, the planning was good, no rushing or que, well organised, tons of cashiers…i didnt pick up anything though, no time…hurry down!
May 1st, 2008 at 8:51 pm

May 1st, 2008 at 9:29 pm

May 2nd, 2008 at 1:21 pm
is there any la senza?? how much?? tq
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:57 pm
just got info from my friend who is still there at the warehouse sale
lasenza
old stocks/designs. the same as per previous sale last year. but the price has increased! and the thing is, these designs are also available during their sales
at their outlets. and some about the same price!
last year -bra-rm60 for 2,lingerie-rm50 for 2,panties rm35 for 10,robe rm60 for 2
this year- bra-rm90 for 3,lingerie-rm70 for 2, panties rm45 for 10,robe rm80 for 2
and these are the same stocks! panties only g-strings & garters. bra-mostly the penguin happy feet design, and the satin t-shirt bras mostly got scratches at the cups.
gap kids- rm50 above.
raoul work shirts- rm150
guess shoes- rm90
to me, u can get about the same price during gap kids sale,raoul sale & guess sale (during guess sale, some selected shoes were at rm80-150).
parking is so teruk. my friend took 45 minutes to find a parking. and the queue was so long to go inside. then u hv to queue again to go into the lasenza area.
not worth going, to me at least.
hope those plan of going- find these infos helpful.
p/s: me and my friend are lasenza crazy gal! we went to every of their warehousesale for the last 3 years.
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:34 pm
I went again today to buy lasenza product. Pay cash at lasenza counter no que at all
compared to pay with creditcard..
Outside the GUESS, GAP, BANANA REP, ROUL it was really pack with people — the que to pay — a disaster!!! and people are keep coming.
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:49 pm
im pissed for the fact that i thought HSBC credit card members gets the special preview sale but when i went today, i found out that they started yesterday! To my amazement, most Guess jeans for men was sold out and even Gap jean was very limited. The price has definitely increased from last year (the same sweater was priced at rm80 last year but today saw it priced at rm100). Personally i feel quite cheated and cant stop kicking myself as i chose to go for this warehouse sale and not the Zara’s one (which i heard was a great sale altogether with GREAT deals).
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:49 pm
complete waste of time, last year better selection.
May 2nd, 2008 at 3:03 pm
i’m planning to go tomorrow.
will there be any size left for Gap, Banana Republic, GUESS?
T-shirt:M
Pants: 31-32
if hard to find size, then tomorrow i’m not going anymore.
go to other shopping complex better
May 2nd, 2008 at 3:55 pm
as usual ….u hav to come early.what i can sharing with readers is…the price so so lah…not to says too low and tooo expensive.depends wht kind of items u looking at…the price for guess denim beg was rm150.00 ,luggage beg rm200.00 and the carrier wa rm170.00…manage to hav 1 for luggage trolly beg..but it was a small size..
baby gap stuff so far cheap…liked socks,slippers,cap, belt ,win-brackers….
May 2nd, 2008 at 4:01 pm
How is the Guess shoes selection? same as last year or better?
May 2nd, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Gap pants - Mostly (US size) 0s and 1s, or the other extreme of sizes 10 and above. Average sized people (like myself) - no luck
After I bought my La Senza bras [pay cash - very short line ;)], I saw that the line to line up for the rest were pretty long, so I left.
May 2nd, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Min, Guess shoes r selling at two for 150! quite alot of new stocks and many sizes! i would said tht they mix new and old stock to be cleared. worth going n q-ing.
May 2nd, 2008 at 4:39 pm
http://www.shoppingnsales.com/2008/04/28/2-4-may-the-great-fj-benjamin-branded-sale/
May 2nd, 2008 at 5:02 pm
how much is baby gap stuff? like socks, caps etc? does anyone know??
thx in advance!
May 2nd, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Hi everyone…
just got back from the sales….
Well, its not as good as the lasy year one lor….
prices hike…. 2 pairs for RM150….
Guess clothes Rm90-Rm180, which i think quite expensive….
Raoul men RM150….
La Senza was good….lingerie wear 2 for Rm70…. undies 10 for RM45
Guess bags are limited, i only saw two designs: the straw bag n denim…
May 2nd, 2008 at 5:14 pm
I wonder why all the banner stated that the sales start today when they already start yesterday. Happen to be in Bangsar village yesterday & went in around 7.30pm, my GF bought a few thing..
May 2nd, 2008 at 5:25 pm
went there this morning…got a pair of gap jeans for rm100///mu cousin borong la senza..2 bras, apa ntah lagi..rm160..the que…ayoooooo…..for me it’s worth going laa
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:29 pm
hope theres still some stuff left tomorrow….sigh
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:08 pm
A complete fake warehouse/clearance sale and liar….
1. Celine products were advertised but a cardboard was placed near the entry saying no Celine stuff….wasted my waking up early, going all the way there and queing up for half an hour…..by the time I reach, the queue has snaked to to the Fitness Centre which makes me miss this ‘annoucement’ but it is still not fair to ‘cheat’ people to come. Wasted halfday of my precious leave.
2. Prices are extremely expensive for a clearance sales as mentioned by other posts. For Gap Kids items, can get cheaper at Brands Outlet. In general, not worth it as prices are like normal boutique sales and they are super off season eg. those Guess handbags which looks like ‘kiam chai’ (salted vege).
3. An exploded version of their factory outlet at Queen’s Park only…going to Queen’s Park is better…no queue and get to choose at own pace…
4. An utter waste of time and really over-rated.
5. Lied again as not exclusive to HSBC cardholders…a lot of people just walked in and the staff meant to check the flyers/cards could do nothing about it. According to another post, it was opened to sundry and all on 1 May 2008!!!
Would not go to FJB warehouse/clearance sales again…..can get better deals elsewhere, online and in their normal boutique sales.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:47 pm
Amy,
Where is Brands Outlet? I wanted to get some items for my nephew and nieces from this FJB sales. ALAS, based on the comments above, i don’t think i would be going tomorrow.
Pls tell me where is it……. thanks!!!
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:51 pm
Oh.. sorry.. i think i knew where is it already… It’s in Ikano… hahaha.. sorry
May 3rd, 2008 at 12:15 am
totally agree with amy.. but luckily, i didnt go there in the morning-take leave etc. went there this evening. was soooooo disappointed!!
did u guys know tat the la senza stuff for clearance were the same for the past 2 years??? i know coz i went to every of their warehousesale sales. and based on basic business logic, for past seasons items, it shud get cheaper as the years goes by right? meaning lets say 2006 that design was sold at rm30, so 2007 shud be lesser and so on..
wrong! last year the lingerie/bustier were sold at rm50 for 2. this year the exact design, i dunno wat year punye design already, are sold at rm70! same goes for their basic cotton sleepwear. all increased by rm20-30. and the panties- all g-string??? and rm45 for 10. last year they had it at rm35 for 10, with all sorts of design- from cotton & lacy boylegs,tankini etc.
gap was also another disappoinment. rm20 for a plain t? come on! i can get that same price at brand outlets, with nicer design. rm50 for a pants? thats the same price during their normal sales!
dun let me start on guess clothing! i tell u.. the price is the same as their factory outlet in queen’s park n dsara utama. last year, i got an rm50 crop cardy and rm50 shirt dress. this year? rm50 u ca get only sequined spagetti straps!
guess shoes are not bad tho. if u buy 2 at rm150.
raoul also a major disappointment. last year the guys work shirt were at rm80/70. this year, same design- rm150! almost doubled!!
dun think consumers are fools!! we’ve been to this sale over the years, and we are observant!
if the designs are 2007 design or early this year’s design, then i can understand. but the same design as per last year’s warehouse sale with price increased?? wat the….
major major disappointment!!
May 3rd, 2008 at 1:16 am
Amy/dee,
I agree with you both. It is so dissappointing to know it was already open on the 1st and public went im. Made us (HSBC card holders) felt like theres no such thing called privilege. I went there and i was the first few that went in on the 2nd, only to find out that there were more stuff yesterday and it was all sold. So dissappointing. Managed to grab some La Senza, not for the design of course but because i’ve been wearing them all this while.
No bags at all. All the nice ones were grabbed off yesterday. So very frustrating. Watches were great but again..more choices yesterday…
My main frustration, they don’t keep to their words when they say it opens on the 2nd. I was around the area on the 1st. If i knew, i would have gone.
Clothes, not a good bargain. Alot of shoes… alot of people. Long queue…
Go prepared with all these…
May 3rd, 2008 at 8:14 am
devil.. ya, me too wear la senza.. tats y i went with the plan to stock-up on my undies & bra & sleepwear.. me too really dun care about the design.. but if its a different design they sell this year but with a slight price increase, then i can understand. but the same as last year with a price increase? tat i cannot understand.
and yes, they shud hv kept to their word about the 2nd being the 1st day of the sale & for hsbc cardholder only. i know loads of people who took leave just to go to this sale. if its open on the 1st, then they wont hv to take leave right? wats the point of sending mailers but with the wrong info?
May 3rd, 2008 at 10:23 am
not going to this sale ever again! thinking they’ll open it first exclusively for cardholders then they open it to public the day before the cardholders then the good stuff is gone, waste my time queing didnt get anything left disappointed.
May 3rd, 2008 at 12:41 pm
yea
totally con
btw,queen park where?wherres theire warehouse
May 3rd, 2008 at 5:23 pm
The warehse sale is really not worth to go besides cheating HSBC cardholders like us, wasting our time (take leave), money (petrol & parking) etc. The prices for this year is so much higher & stuff available are really lousy compared with last year. I saw the Guess jeans priced at RM180/pc but RM90/RM120 last year end with the same design although still not many left. Just don’t understand why the old designs they still increase prices by so much. Maybe they thought that even expensive also can clear during warehse sale & no point to sell cheap. In actual fact they may be right as from what I seen during the HSBC preview day, ppl were grabbing like mad without thinking its worthiness. What can we do…..
May 3rd, 2008 at 5:30 pm
haih.i was so disappointed when i heard that it was already open on 1st may! and MOST of the guess bags were gone after the first day -1st may. there’re many designs for Guess bag at first..but they took it out on 1st may..and MOSTLY gone after that. …anyways.the sale is not too bad..check out my blog for more details . http://forever-nonsensical.blogspot.com/2008/05/review-fj-benjamin-branded-sale.html
May 3rd, 2008 at 5:43 pm
agree 1000% with amy n the rest..the sale is actually no sale..price sooo expensive!! clothes very outdated… its like reject items from melwanis… i bought two guess shoes n one gap kids sandal..wanted so badly to buy la senza but its not worth it at all!! came around 9:30 n went back b4 11. can u imagine?? nothing to buy.. this is the worst fj sale ever held!!! luckily i went to zara sale on 1/5. got better bargain there.. one shrt costs only rm59.90. n the best part is zara shoes from rm59.90 reduced to rm39.90. next time i better go to zara sale. go zara go… booo fj sale!!
May 3rd, 2008 at 8:26 pm
lets all of us make a complain to HSBC and when enough of us do make this complain, at least HSBC will speak to them and make sure that the privileges to go on the first day should be for us!!
May 3rd, 2008 at 11:17 pm
I went on Fri morning. Disappointed with Gap kids quite expensive as compared to Zara warehouse sales. But the 2 shoes for RM150 is quite cheap. And I managed to grab 3 guess bag at RM100 each (after 10% HSBC discount is only RM90 each). Those bags are not the denim or straw. The staff open some boxes and I’m so coincidence standing around there looking at the belts. So managed to grab 3 nice bags.
May 3rd, 2008 at 11:23 pm
Hi Dee,
The raoul shirt same design as last year is’t?? Sigh.. my husband bought one…….. heheheh if I tell him this, sure he’ll be very disappointed… Kena cheated…
May 3rd, 2008 at 11:36 pm
they had less shoes this time compared to the last sales. or maybe it’s cos i only went today & the nicer designs all sold out. & i noticed guess wallets more expensive than last sales & less choices.
managed to buy a gap skirt & a guess tote bag. total damage = rm 170.
May 4th, 2008 at 1:29 am
Planned to go tomorrow after class but so many disappointment & complaints here, i think i better go to MPH warehouse sale at kelana jaya,,at least can get some cheaper books.
May 4th, 2008 at 10:53 am
I always looked forward for FJBenjamin sales, but after hearing all the prices, I couldn’t bother to waste my time to go.
FYI for price reference, I got a Raoul shirt at the Raoul Retail store for RM 120 + further 10% discount for Citibank card members. The staff will cater to you, let you try it on and take your shirt measurement. No Qs, No sweaty shopping.
If the warehouse price for Raoul shirt is RM 150, then I felt its really cheating the customers. Just my 2 cents.
May 4th, 2008 at 11:49 am
I feel cheated to pay Rm120 for a gap jacket where the sign says Rm120 slashed to Rm70, later they told me only selected items were slashed, not all. Even Guess jeans I paid Rm180 where the sign said Rm120-150, sigh………

Really disappointing sales. Went on the 2nd, around 3pm, they didnt check for the hsbc credit card for entry. Guess its not the preview sales for card member then. And the items are really pricey compared to last year. Last year’s sale was better..lotsa guess bags..this year, i only saw those blue jeans guess bags and those jut type guess bags…really a big let down compared to last year! La senza bras are cheap RM90 for 3…
regretted that i didnt go to the zara sales…fj ben is a huge letdown!

I just wish to highlight to those who went to the sales on 3rd & 4th May, pls don’t think that on the stuff available on 2nd (so called HSBC card preview day) were cheap & choices were plenty, because even I went there in the morning of 2nd May, already so limited choices (sizes & colours) & priced very high. You ppl actually are lucky & don’t need to Q like mad.

I agree with all of you. The sale this time was not as hapenning as before. All stocks were the left over from the previous w/sale especially Raoul shoes. I can still remmeber the snake skin loafer were left over from the parkroyal w/sale. GAP/Guees t-shirt not much choice. Better wait for the Guess sale where can get cheaper T-short with a better design.

lucky i didn’t go coz i already notice it from last year w/s where when i compared the price from 2006 n 2007. i did buy a guess shirt for my daughter for rm5-15 only on 2006 but last year the same shirt goes to rm25 and above and i manage to ask the staff y the price goes up like that. the staff said they didn’t increased it’s a normal price. but as u all aware every time theres warehouse sales a lot of people will go rite…so more demands sure the price will go higher laa.. so next time they doing it try boycott not to go until they give a very reasonable price lor. lucky manage to go to zara warehouse sale the price think reasonable also.

My sis went on Friday and she grab a lot of stuff and its very very cheap!!! i went on sunday i all the good stuff is gone. i will definately go on the 1st day of the sales next time no matter how busy i am!!! definately wont miss the chance…

ira,
you borong baju anak kat zara tak?was it cheap?nyesal tak pi zara punya.takpe, next time, kita serang zara’s warehouse sale.
i did manage to buy a swimsuit by GAP and 2 tops by Paint8 for my daughter. Swimsuit RM20, dunno whether it’s cheap or not, but since its only RM20, ok la.And it was the last piece plak kat dalam bin. Spring 2007 punya collection. Paint8 tops RM15 each, ok la.Murah la sebab kat Sogo, Cuddles tops pun dalam RM10.
i went on saturday. pi awal dalam pukul 9.50am. dah beratur panjang. tapi, sebab dalam aircond, not so bad. q for payment, langsung takde masa i bayar sebab me and my mom kat dalam tu kurang dari sejam.
May 5th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
vivisidik.. for paint8 tops, kat their factory outlets in queens park & dsara utama dieorg jual at rm10. kat situ pun u can get kids guess top and pants from rm10 gak. xbyk choice tho, kena rajin pergi slalu. kat situ i xpernah nmpk dieorg letak brg gap lg. gap kids swimming suit at rm20 considered cheap la.. lucky u! i went on friday evening-there wasnt much gap kids especially for babies left. managed to grab 2 baby boys’ cap at rm10 tho.
i agree with ira. me also every year xpernah miss pergi fjb warehouse sale. to see the same thing from the previous year being sold higher the next year, tat isnt right! i remember in 2006, they even letgo guess jeans- but only in sz26, at rm10!! and in another sale, cant remeber which year, but it was held in menara panglobal,the guess shoes & boots (ankle length and even knee-high) at rm39. their leather jacket at rm99. so can u feel the frustration here amongst the regulars?
May 5th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Got to say that this time around there were less things. Raoul was a real dissapointment–too little things.
Maybe FJ should reduce the sales frequency and be more careful with the pricing. Most of the customers are regular shoppers, therefore we do remember & able to compare prices from d previous sales. But at least this time the venue was a bit spacious compared to the last one.
May 5th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
i think the best solution here is.. let’s get together and boycott this so call warehouse sale :))
May 5th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
yea
btw
where is queens park and damansara utama outlet?
is it worth it 2 go there?
what can u find there?
any public transportation there?or can guide me?thx

Dear All, Glad to know that there are so many out there who share the same opinion that this warehouse sales is a sham.
DUES…apart from Ikano, Brands Outlet is also available in Bukit Tinggi Shopping Centre in Klang and Ampang Point.
ryck..link below to a previous (non-FJB) warehouse sales in Queen’s Park which provided a map. Not sure about public transport though coz I don’t take it coz it’s so unreliable. Next to Queen’s Park is the Carrefour…if you know where Jalan Peel is, then it’s so much easier. DU outlet, I haven’t been to coz I’m from the Cheras part of town. Have to rajin go there coz you never know what you can get/what they bring in…last time very cheap. I always visit but not buy (he he he) coz waiting for this stupid warehouse sales. My sis got quite a few Guess bags for RM99 after I told her about this place, regardless of size and so many choices. Lately, prices not that cheap but can still find bargains.

hi dee! thanx for the info. really ke? sebab i pun suka menempel kat Queen’s Park. but you can see Paint8 t-shirt kat FJ sale ni takde kat Queen’s Park lagi. But pernah hari tu, klu tak silap, last year, i borong kat Paint8 OneUtama, discount 70%, t-shirt rega after discount RM18 macam tu. so RM15 tu, ok la kot. heheheh!(nak menyedapkan hati sendiri).
as for the GAP Kids plak, klu bukan below RM20, memang tak murah la, bagi saya la. Kat GAP Kids Isetan, t-shirt bleh beli at RM39. So macam bagi saya, lebih kurang je. Janji benda tu kurang dari RM20, memang murah. hehehe!
my goal, kalau benda branded, i set target to look for things yang below RM20. sebab for me, RM20 reasonable to buy branded items dalam bersesak. heheheh!
May 6th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
really the worst FJB warehouse sale ever!! mahal compared ngan last sale. takde choice langsung especially for guys. Langsung tak beli Guess nyer shirt or jeans.. last sale RM90.. this sale, harga double even triple RM200! Better beli kat butik time sale! Last2, beli Gap kids nyer sandal & shirt jek.. bought for my nieces & nephews.. My fren bought Nautica watch RM189. Itu pun berebut ngan nyonya tua.. Bila my fren nak beli that watch, dia kata dia sedang test..dia nak juga jam yg kwn saya nak tu.. Luckily, the salegirl tu carik dan jumpa a new one..still dlm plastic.. nyonya tu sebuk pula nak yg baru.. shazzam, i sambar dr tangan salegirl tu dan byr.. pastu tgk, nyonya tu tak beli pula that watch.. mmg busuk ati btol..
May 6th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
vivisidik not so many choice for zara kids or for myself already coz when there on saturday. Only manage to buy a long pants for my kids RM29.90, shirt like sweater for me RM39.90 and a valvet blazer very nice one for RM99. The price quite reasonable coz when i tear the price tag the original price is around RM60-RM350 for each item. mayb next time i have to go early.
but anybody like branded thing like esprit, mng, armani, guess, raoul ..etc. yes try to go to queens park..there’s a lot of choice of branded outlet. Last time like to go there quite frequent and buy some items there but so long never been there so i dunno hows the pricing already.
May 6th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
i pun dh so long xpegi to queens park. dunno hows the pricing like right now. used to be quite cheap, but you know la, bile die tgk response ok, mule la start hike-up the price.
i dun think these people (those who managed this brand outlets/ warehouse sales) really knows the meaning of brand outlets/warehouse sales. brand outlets/ warehouse sales supposed to be a place/event whereby you letgo you past season items at really low price. they shud learn from their counter parts in UK,US etc.
May 8th, 2008 at 11:20 am
I went in on 2nd May at around 3.30pm empty handed and came out empty handed. It looks like a rip off. Overpriced goods for so-so quality products. Utterly disappointing and I am not bothered to attend any more FJB sales in future.

Anybody can tell me how to get an VIP pas/ membership card to this sale?
