Smart Freedom Day Sale: A Disaster?

Who doesn’t love sales, promos and great discounts? All of us loves that, right? But it seems that not all of us are happy with the recent promo of Smart. You might heard of Freedom day sale of SMART in where you can get iPhone 4s for less than PHP11,000. They also announce that they’ll be selling some Samsung products like the Galaxy Tab and the Samsung Galaxy S2 at a very very low price. That’s very catchy right? But it seems that the Freedom Day sale turned out to be a pandemonium at SMART Stores. Check out why after the break

Smart announced the promo days before our independence day and they offered a lot of products with a discounted price but unfortunately it didn’t turned out well. here are some of the complaints in the internet.

NO RESERVATIONS daw. such a fake promotion. – Portgas Dace (Philmug)

One person posted in their fb page that while on line.. a smart rep confirmed that their out of stocks already because most of it are reserved a day before. Tsk tsk! – Ann jersey (Philmug)

AFAIK, Smart (or should I say Smart’s employees) are known to hoard units even before they release it officially. I remember years back, a new handset (pre-iPhone days, Nokia pa ata yun) is set to be released. But come promo/release day, no or very limited handset to give, kasi inubos na daw ng mga “empleyado at kamag-anak nila a day before”
 Same, same pa rin pala. – achtungbaby (Philmug)
Hay kamote. Pity those who painstakingly waited in line, to end up empty handed. Waste of time and effort.

Way to go Smart! – Blackharlequin (Philmug)
