Oriental Cash & Carry — Local services in Canning Vale

The pricing practice of this place is very unethical. For example they will price a packet of 4 instant noodles 'packs' with the price of just one piece of the 4 noodle packs in the packet. In the picture attached, they have a price of $1.25 which is the price of just one piece of the noodles. They DO NOT sell the one piece of the noodle packet, you have to buy the entire 4 pack packet. It makes no sense to price items like this. Also watch out for cookware where the base and lid are priced separately. When challenged why they were pricing it as such, they blamed the owner of the store. They saw me take photos and I did lodge a complaint with Consumer Protection but I was told pricing in Western Australia is generally not regulated and businesses are free to set their own prices. So all I can do is warn people...

usually i would have given a 4 star rating as it is has been my regular gourmet shop for the past 12 years or more but my most recent experience has caused me to revise it to a star. Bought a packet of Black Glutinous rice (Exp date Jan 2021 with company sticker still intact) in the 1st week of March 2020 which upon cooking didnt quite smell and taste right. Had no recourse for action because I had not kept my receipt though the company sticker was still very much intact! I was told also told that I had bought it last year! Even if this were true, the goods had an expiry date in Jan 2021. This has certainly left a bad taste...

If there was a choice. I will go elsewhere. I feel there is no soul in such asian grocery stores. Staff are not friendly and it feels like their more interested to make money rather then providing service.

Its the shere arrogance that there is no other choices for consumer.

Hope that the asian grocery stores in Perth are on notice that orther competition will come around. Take not and dont be arrogant. What goes up must come down at some point. Be friendly and dont be so preoccupied with profits. Nothing...
