The 2nd option sounds strange.. "No way I would buy anything online."

It appears that the website is pretty spartan at this stage; it loads too slowly at the current moment, and I'm using broadband on a Sunday afternoon...

When I say it's pretty spartan, it means that there's precious little on it's website. For example, there are no links to information on it's actual products.

There should be links in the products list, say, clicking on the picture of the product would link it to the product's specs... Maybe a comparison between similar products in the same category would be nice (for example, choosing the different webcams available and displaying all the key characteristics within a table).

Also, while it is nice to find all the products available in one single list, it does take awhile to load. Hence, and option should be available from the "Products" drop down list on the main navigation (menu) bar to either browse by product category, or a simple "show all categories" function.

I have to agree that it is rather slow to load. But I do like their 10% storewide discount and some of their offers. Beats buying off the shelf from shops. However, delivery seems to be a tad bit expensive, especially since it is within Singapore (We arn't that big!).

for some reason, the asia creative site always takes yonks to load...
i agree with rebootz bout having specs and comparisons, its kind of a basic online shop requirement, innit?
i also think shipping's really high, at least lower the min requirement of $500 for free shipping.
it wont take me $7 to go down to creative hq and get stuff by myself.

time is money....i think online shops are for people who wants stuff but doesn't have the time to make it down to shops during normal hours.

i want reset buttons for the cart, mastercard and cash payment options and FREE GIFTS!

hmmmm
it is nice to have online store, always.
but seems, the price is not very attractive, at least comex and the warehousesales price is lower. :p

and i notive one of the product is not listed in it yet (2.1 speaker T2900) =p

As spore is small, the price + transpotation fee has to be reasonable (at least to me).

no more comment as other ppl as point out my view le.

HI!

this is my first post in this forum, haha

here's my 2 cents worth:

I don't think I'll say much about the shipping costs etc.. it already takes too long to load, so long that I really can't be bothered to let it finish loading. I think I would be put off from buying if it takes so long just to choose. I'll be better off going down to a shop, less frustrating.

I think someone mentioned something about the site being a little bare. I for one prefer it this way as it lets me concentrate on the things that I really want.

there, 2 cents..

Hi vascilus, welcome.

The consensus seems to be that the site does not reach the general international online shops standard. However, that can be easily upgraded and refined. My question is, will Singaporeans (yup, you) actually buy online as opposed to going down personally to "touch touch see see" before buying it. The delivery costs isnt that cheap as well.
