In article , Dave says...
You can charge a premium for it. Ah so thats you issue.......... profit Errr YEAH. They didn't. THe label Aria put on it was next day. In that case IME it should have turned up saturday Looks as if its blame the courier time Oh dear...Nextr Day refers to NEXT WORKING DAY, i.e Mon-Fri. Saturday deliveries are a premium delivery. Parcels requiring delivery on a Saturday are clearly marked as such. Fourthly how the hell can someone be so desperate for a pc by sunday, yet only decide this on a friday? Also considering that i guess the aria order would have been much cheaper then pc world, why the hell could he not wait 1 extra day Because he's an idiot. He's also an idiot with alot of money. In order to ensure some of that ends up in my pocket, I have to be able to satisfy his sur of the moment whims. Next time tell him this...............

Under consumer law, the customer is entitled to a refund of what it cost them if the seller doesn't make arrangements for collection. I suspected as much but am having a bitch of a time finding a *gov.uk URL that states this. Can anyone help me out. I paid 18.50 GPB to send TFT back to Aria and they re-imbursed me for 8.17 GBP. As they "advertise" a limit of 10 (Which I though was a bit cheeky) I assumed they were allowed to do this but something didnt feel quite right! Especially as "Consumers cannot have their legal rights removed in sale of goods contracts. It is also illegal to mislead consumers about their legal rights and to try to exclude them." So has Aria fubar'ed or is there something I (we) missed! The 1994 Act is at: http://www.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts1994...5_en_1.htm#end The 1995 amendment is at: http://www.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts1995...50028_en_1.htm They are reasonably readable. Please excuse my ignorance! But a pointer to the issue in question would be really helpful. I've tried a google seach restricted to site only, and I've started reading through the sections (and shall continue to do so) but if anyone can provide a direct link to the paragraph in question I shall respond with all kinds of favours ... -- Lordy |

It may be worth a post in uk.legal.moderated, there are some quite switched on people there and also some lawyers. -- Jeff Gaines Posted with XanaNews 1.17.1.2 |

Well my armchair legal friend, you should know i dont have to provide you with that information, besides you would only do business with me if you were infact in business yourself. |

If he had that much money to get a what he wanted at that precise minute, he wouldnt have asked you in the first place and would have just gone straight to PC World, I guess you are just whining though cos its cost you money LOL.........tough! |
