You need not be shopping savvy to enjoy your shopping time in Singapore and make the most of your purchase expeditions. The country makes sure that the shopper has every convenience he needs to have a grand time shopping. Singapore is also known to be attentive and client-friendly to the droves of customers and buyers that come into the country.
Shopping for Electronic Gadgets and IT Products
The voltage in Singapore is 220 to 240 volts AC, 50 cycles per second. Make sure that the product you are buying matches your home voltage. The same goes for mobile phone bandwidths and formats for audio/visual equipment. It is best to always ask for a receipt and make sure that the warranty card and invoice carry the correct serial numbers and have been properly endorsed by the retailer. The dealer’s signature and stamp must be correctly indicated on your GST refund form.
Quality Jewellers of Singapore (QJS)
Quality Jewellers of Singapore (QJS) is a mark of trust for the Singapore jewelry industry. It is a program that is spearheaded by the Singapore Jewellers Association, with support from the Singapore Tourism Board and SPRING Singapore. QJS sets the benchmarks for the Singapore jewelry industry. The QJS seal, a hallmark for brands and products by program members, represents prestige, service quality, and reliability. When buying jewelry in Singapore, look for the QJS decals at certified jewellers. The program’s website contains the list of certified jewellers in Singapore.
Clothing Sizes
Clothing sold in Singapore will generally match the sizes in the West since most ready-to-wear apparels on sale are imported. Likewise, clothing manufactured in Singapore is generally for export.
Excellent tailors and dressmakers are found all over town for specific orders. It would be best to just leave a deposit when ordering. Your full payment can be made only after you have tried the completed garment and have been satisfied with its fit and workmanship.
