| 464361 | 2006-06-19 23:57:00 | it can also depend on who you get. i had bought a dvd player from foodtown for the sunroom. it was faulty, the agent assured me it would be replaced or refunded. but i got a person who didn't like to be told what to do & so refused my request & made the agent repair at a cost of over $75+ & the player only cost $60! there may be a slight misunderstanding about this - the dvd was under warranty - 2 mths to go, so i didn't have to pay - but there was a statement with it & the time take to fix the problem which came to $75+ (my estimate of usual service charges). for example acer repair centre charge $67.50 just for looking at something. my whinge was that the lady at the counter was happy to give me a refund as they had no stock, but then the supervisor came along & said no when I said the agent assured me of a replacement or refund - i did ask about repairs & he laughed saying it's not worth it - to me the supervisor just didn't like to be told & decided to muck up the agent! |

| 464363 | 2006-06-20 00:43:00 | I'd prefer to trust a major supermarket chain than some of your "proper computer outlets". Some of the Pricespy listings were for Generic hard drives. In some markets generic drives are relabelled drives that have been refurbished after being sent in as a warranty claim. | PaulD (232) | ||
