Tai Lin Radio Services - one of the oldest appliance chains, closed down amid the financial turmoil. Those who had ordered electrical appliances worried that they could not get their deposit back. According to the Consumer Council, the deal can be terminated if you paid by credit card. But if you paid in cash, you cannot get the money back.
To be safe, it is better to pay deposits by credit card. If you are asked to pay in cash only, there must be something wrong with the shop.
