Selling regulations

by parthiban, 29-01-2018, 09:02 AM

Had a bit of a dispute with an electrical contractors this morning, ordered a load of sockets and stuff yesterday in preparation for the room I'm about to start renovating and basically there was a small screw up with the bits I wanted. I hadn't had a lot of time so had made a list in words, but hadn't put down all the part numbers (which is what I would normally do).

To anyone who's interested, the sockets in question were that I had ordered a few different module plates and modules to fit in them (network sockets, etc) but I had wanted the standard euro modular plates. However what I hadn't realised was that under the same brand they had their own modular system as well which you could do a similar thing with but as I was ordering modules from different places I needed the standard euro ones.

After figuring out last night that he had ordered all the wrong stuff, I went back this morning to amend the order, and was slightly irritated when he told me that they'd already ordered everything and I would have to pay a 15% restocking fee. For some reason I was in a good mood, so didn't get angry or anything and stayed completely calm and polite, but firmly said there's no way I'm paying any fee for your mistake. If there were two ranges and it was open to interpretation then it was his responsibility to make me aware of that and ask me which one I wanted.

Anyhoo, that line didn't seem to be working, so I decided to get legal. Now I have no idea what the sale of goods act has in it, but I made out that I did

I simply stated, quite confidently, that that's simply against the law. And I think I freaked him out as he immediately said, ok I'll have to discuss this with the manager. Went into the office, and 5 minutes later came out and said that they would swap them over with no additional charges (was that so hard?)


My question is, does anyone know what the actual legal standpoint is? If this actually ended up in court, who would be at fault? I guess there's shared blame, but I'm still confident that it's his responsibility to make sure he's giving me what I want, especially if there are restocking fees involved.

The stupid thing is though that this was a £500 order, and the error was roughly half of it - in these current financial times it just made no sense to me that he would risk losing that £250 order over this fee of under £40 hock:

What's even worse, is that I had gone in there with a list of a few more bits that I needed totalling almost another £100 - but after this decided I'll just get them elsewhere or off the net.

Alpine In Dash Monitor Installed

by SHAHZ, 28-01-2018, 12:06 PM

Ok, as promised pics of the install! Pics taken on my phone, so are not great quality!!

First thing I done was the facia mod as per Wozs write up :thumbup1: ……he told me that this will take time he wasn’t joking, to give those that are thinking of doing this an idea of how long and as everyone loves pics I took a few snaps along the way!

Pocket holder and frame, glued, filled and sanded. I had to refill and sand few times


First coat of primer, this helps to show the imperfections in the filling/sanding


Sanded and filled again


Another coat of primer


Sanded again


Primer again


Pocket modified to have ipod connector inside it


Top Coat


sanded and re applied!


and again


Left over night and then speed cured in the corolla windscreen in the sun:biggrin:


So you get the idea that this takes a while!! I was about 95% happy with the finish, was just a slight imperfection with the filled join.

Blackberry

by Dark Samurai, 27-01-2018, 06:35 PM

Got my blackberry today guys, really good phone, competes with the iPhone easily.
Really good, nice to navigate around, bit basic menus like the options menu etc, but all good.
What are your bb pins, for those who have blackberrys on here?
Also a problem, I added my friend on bbm, and it said that my request is pending on hers, and her request is pending on mine? Any ideas?
