But your going to pay that cost. This is wrong, the postage, in both directions, is the responsibility of the vendor. Which bit of " bear any necessary costs incurred in doing so (including in particular the cost of any labour, materials or postage)." are you having difficulty understanding? -- Peter Parry. http://www.wpp.ltd.uk/ |

The relevant bit of legislation is the Sale of Goods Act 1979
(as amended by SSGCR 2002) which came into effect on Mar 31st and covers contracts entered into before that date. snip Thanks. Just what I wanted to beat Ebuyer over the head with. What! There is nothing there to change the situation. You have to return the drive to either Ebuyer or Seagate. Posting it to ebuyer will cause a delay as they in turn will post it to Seagate. Nether will charge you return postage. But you need to return the drive by post or if you want Taxi. But your going to pay that cost. Are you saying that although Ebuyer are breaking the law Trading Standards will not be interested? I'm saying there not breaking the law. I'm saying your interpretation is wrong No, you're the one who is mistaken. eBuyer has a responsibility to collect or arrange for postage at the *their* expense (ebuyer's expense). If the goods delivered are not fit for purpose or are faulty. Which they clearly are in this case. Steve |

writes You just have to have me spell it out for you, don't you? Due to lazy warehouse staff dropping items and then packaging them up damaged or broken, I've had more items badly packed from Dabs & Insight than any other e- tailers, Ebuyer packages are always bursting with filling/packing. due to where they purchase their stock from, Computer2000, Ingram and the other main distis' etc. same as just about every other major e-tailer Kind Regards, Jeff Davison Display Systems Consultants UK |

"EBuyerdotcon" wrote in message ... There is nothing stupid about my remark. I'm well aware tech items fail, but ordering from ebuyer don't exactly help the consumer. Your remark would appear less stupid (!) if you posted a source for your information that ebuyer buy seagate drives from less reputable sources than other suppliers, or that ebuyer send out more DOA seagate drives than other suppliers. Post the evidence. Just one piece. A reputable source. Ebuyer buy Seagate drives from a dodgy source... Ebuyer issue more DOA seagate drives than other vendors... not heresay, not opinion, but facts. nope? didn't think you could. Interesting now I'm back off holiday to see you are still misquoting law, spouting unsubstantiated bull**** about ebuyer, and that comapnies like DABS are continuing to grow at a phenomenal rate. Glad to be back to keep usenet a more balanced place and not quite so full of self-indulgent, moronic, unbelievably biased bull****. Please dont reply with anything other than hard facts to support your assertions about ebuyer and Seagate disk drives, and I do not regard your website as a valid answer. I want figures from comparable vendors too please, specifically about the purchase and supply of Seagate drives. g. |

writes Ebuyer just offers 30 days warranty/replacement. Once it's over the limit, you need to contact the maker directly. Carp - retailer responsible as contract with them - however sometimes in buyers interests to deal with Manufacturer- its the customers call - so stop talking ****e -- njc AKA (Paypal & nochex e-mail) |

Reader writes P.s. Ebuyer are a profit making company - you don't have to justify their methods of improving their margins. Theoretically, the consumer is meant to encourage a company to provide higher service levels whilst demanding reductions in cost (i.e. margins). Therefore, concepts such as refunds as well as replacements, return carriage / collection paid for, etc. should be encouraged and requested. Your consumer influence should be used to your advantage not just for improving the profits of others and agrevating others (e.g. attacking ebuyerdotcon for trying to improve things for everyone). Has to be a balance in everything in life - make it too one sided and consumer would lose in long run. Ebuyer.com may have had a point once but its been lost amongst the constant false starts.. -- njc AKA (Paypal & nochex e-mail) |

writes Due to lazy warehouse staff dropping items and then packaging them up damaged or broken, due to where they purchase their stock from, and because it's quite simply less likely to happen if you purchase the same item elsewhere because care is taken in the packaging process. I have had a pop at their warehouse staff - but TBH never had the slightest problem with any HDs from them. -- njc AKA (Paypal & nochex e-mail) |
