We thought spending our vacation in Hong-Kong will be exciting but, it turned out into a big disaster. We really had a very bad experienced during our stay there. My mom was really upset the entire week. It was our biggest mistake when we bought a CANON DSLR camera at JORDAN DIGITAL WORLD (located in Jordan Road, Yaumatei, Kowloon, Hong Kong). I should have read the article my sister gave me about "TAX FREE" shops. "Bait and Switch" most of the stores common doing. First, they will tell you the price of their gadgets are cheaper. After you had for paid it, there is no way to cancel it. They will introduce another product which is more expensive and ask for an additional payment. But, if your going to check the price from the other stores and do some research on the internet, it's cheaper.
We just found out that my aunt had a bad experience there too when she went there a year ago. She bought a camera for her friend. It was working fine when they showed it her but, when she got home the camera wasn't working anymore. She went back to the shop to replace the item but, they didn't want to change it. So beware! Don't be a victim like us.
Be careful buying TAX FREE shops in Hongkong!

Unfortunately I only came across your post now, having bought my camera a week ago. Some simple research shows that I have paid over double for my Fujifilm SLR. Beware of this store. They are CROOKS
yes, a lot of tourist were victims in HK
I too was stung by this company, as you have rightly stated please be aware this company is extremly crooked and will lure you in with cheap prices and then rip you off.
i agree with you, i hope this kind of store will close down very soon!
Thx ! I was about to buy something there. They tried the same tricks with me (only chinese) take this one (twice the price!). They didn t try to give me another one though. So I thought they were ok. Now, I'm sure I will not go there.
Thx again.
We got caught out by the same cheats. We wanted to buy samsung galaxy 3s phones but after we had paid for them we got conned into buying sony phones for more than we should have. We were told the samsungs had a lot of problems and the sony were a much better phone for only a little extra. Our cedit card got hit 3 times and we ended up paying nearly double what we should have.
They also ripped me off. I paid more than double. for nikon coolpix L310 I paid nearly 330 aus dollars and its only $160 on ebay...
