Finally bought a sewing machine but from a fraud! Blergh!

My new found 'hobbie' -sewing- is a far fetch idea than what I had in mind when I was growing up. I hated the idea of sewing as I used to see it as tedious and time consuming work. I came a long way to realise that it's a fun thing to do and the satisfaction when you get seeing your finish garments. I've been wanting to own a sewing machine for a couple of months now and thinking that I'd borrow my mom's machine. I shared the idea with my hubby and he happily support my new found 'interest'.

We went on a quick survey last week and fell in love with a sewing machine Brother NV900 - a sewing + embroidery machine. He was gladly offered me the machine but it cost a bomb if you buy inclusive of the software. At first the owner quote me RM8500 which is rediculous! Then, he narrow it down until RM5000. I feel fishy about the offer but my hubby went along and place the deal.

They promised me to send over the machine on Tuesday at 6pm. I like to be punctual so i called them up at 5:45pm, just to check if they were on their way. Sadly the owner give excuses that it was a busy day for them. Again, I feel cheated. at least he should have called and let his customer knows bout it. I insisted that it should be delivered by the same day and I don't care of the hour. He promised me that he'll be here at 8pm but end up waited a good 1/2 an hour for them to arrive.

The staff showed me how to operate the machine and I am impressed of the machine capabilities. Well the machine alone cost me RM3800. I am happy with the product. Back to the seller, the staff finally showed me the "software". Well, it is original but it's registered to the seller. Not me. It sort of I paid RM1.2K for a loan software. If I wanted to get a pirated copy, might as well I download the software from the net. I was under impression that he had a variety of patterns in the software but sadly I could've found more in the net. I feel cheated by the seller. Payment has been made and no turning back for me.

PLEASE DON'T BUY SOFTWARE FROM LSN. WHAT EVER THEY SAY - ONLY GO FOR THE SEWING MACHINE. BUY THE SOFTWARE ON THE NET. IT'S CHEAPER. SERIOUSLY. IT IS!
