When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do . The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done . If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better . ” John Ruskin |

I am aware that Consumer are trying to help.. My Galaxy S3 suffered from "Sudden Death Syndrome" (googleable) one year and 14 days after I purchased it Sent it back for repair and no reply after that for months until emailed some personal info (of theirs) to them - then a flurry of apologetic emails - and then more nothing. Looking back I was so stupid - I mean please - such a Naf name! Who wouldn't have guessed?? Me obviously :-/ Next time buy from the locals! |

| 1366401 | 2014-02-24 02:19:00 | There is an old saying that buyers who seek the lowest price would do well to remember: 'The sour taste of a bad service experience lasts much longer than the sweetness of a low price.' You pays your money and you gets what you paid for, which in this case is at best no warranty but no problems, and at worst, no phone and no means to pursue recompense. So what will you do now with the miserable amount of money you saved by using a trader with no service history? Cheers BIlly :groan: |
