LG Sucks. Epic Failed event. unorganized. the 1 hr sale was only for the people inside the store.
Limited units but on advertisement no mention whatsoever.
Customers very angry to the point of suggesting to boycott LG - Life's good.
Looks like a publicity scam.

This is the worst promo! A lot of people waited for hours and were not given a unit. They kept asking how many units will be released but the LG people kept saying that they have enough units to serve everyone, only to find out that less than 50 people were given the unit.
They should have informed the people that it is limited so that people did not waste their time waiting for more than 5 hours for nothing!
We, Filipinos, are fighters, hopefuls and risk takers. That is why we fell in line to such event.
What we, who fell in line, were or are pointing @ is the way you/LG managed your consumers/customers in such event.
You/LG should be on top of this. The consumers/customers sensed the Ad before the consumers/customers fell in line. Your name as LG was on the Ad. Even if it is the lack of just somebody or part of the crew of such event, still you/LG(the Big Name on the Ad) should be blamed or questioned. That is the reality/true rule of the world you are moving in.
It is just like a family or organization. If a member made mistake/s or sin/s, then the PARENT or the PRESIDENT must be questioned by the affected factors(or persons — well in our case, CUSTOMERS/CONSUMERS).
In brief rationale, we are looking at you/LG, and you are looking at your staffs or members who worked under or for you.
CUSTOMERS ARE CUSTOMERS.
The event happened was an obvious way of telling that you/LG are more persuader than them(or the other side). Please, LG, do not make us ignorant or stupid. We, who fell in line, are not that naive. We, who fell in line, were really affected. Without customers/consumers, you can not make sales. Even if you say that we should not be there if we know that it will gonna happen(no chance), still we would come for/because again we are fighters(like Manny Pacquiao—who just recently won the Manny Pacquiao & Margarito boxing fight), risk takers(like Charice Pempengco) and hopefuls.
Fighter, risk taker and/or hopeful type of people are the people who live and who knows FREEDOM.
We, who fell in line, were sure buyers. The way you advertise was very obviously deceiving.
In short, your CUSTOMER’S CONVENIENCY skill was very disappointing and unethical in the world of SALES.
I personally fell in line. I was just 2 customers away from the cut off(last buyer of such promo–1 hour only). I even prevented my urine to come out just to get the chance. I started to fall in line at 8am until 3pm(when the 1 hour sale event ended), Philippines time. The host was still announcing that there are more items however he never said the possibilities of the pace of the transaction. The host did not even to manage to announce the difficulty of getting the chance so that we will not be wasting our time waiting. There were thousands of people waiting to get their chance out of 20 items only sold however still the host did not even announce to these thousands of people waiting about the possibilities of not getting the chance. LG, we have believed in you but because of what happened, thousands of people’s LIFE is no GOOD in that time due to broken hopes you were rendering. The host was only announcing that they are the only one who has that kind of event(1 hour sale 50 % off for unlimited–no exact number of such item/s). That is deceiving.
If you want more people but less items, why not do it in Entertainment instead?
Now LG, please confirm/answer this(simple yes or no question):
Were you up to the customer or to the sale?
If customer, then something good(or I shouldn’t be doing this) must have happened.
Else, if sale, then you are not a good example.
In other words, the question is, Sale before Customer or Customer before Sale?
Please answer all the questions LG. I personally beg you. We, who fell in line, were really badly affected.
You/LG should be on top of this. The consumers/customers sensed the Ad before the consumers/customers fell in line. Your name as LG was on the Ad. Even if it is the lack of just
if you want more people but less items, why not do it in Entertainment instead?
