Is this common practice with all internet delivery, or has anyone out there discovered a company with good customer service??? If you'd bought it from PC World and then returned it for refund would you have expected them to pay you both your original travel expenses to buy the thing and the cost of your additional trip to return it? Yes. In a similar vein: I once bought some RAM from their Portsmouth store and when I got home discovered they'd given me the wrong part. I took it back the next week and pointed out that their error had cost me a 50 mile round trip. Having asked the sales droid to have a word with the store manager they offered me a £10 in-store credit. |

Thanks for your comments chaps.
I was just wondering, is bad customer service intrinsic to UK companies? e.g. Is customer service better in most USA companies. Any North Americans reading this with equally bad experiences, or are things generally better? |

I would say most get away with what they can...our laws are pathetic compared to what the consumer has in the USA. -- Cheers, Guy ** Stress - the condition brought about by having to ** resist the temptation to beat the living daylights ** out of someone who richly deserves it. |

What made you think we were better off? I always thought the reverse! -- Cheers, Guy ** Stress - the condition brought about by having to ** resist the temptation to beat the living daylights ** out of someone who richly deserves it. |

Lemon laws only apply to motor vehicles. As far as other products are concerned, the consumer protection that is available against scams, defective products, non-delivery of goods etc is governed by a range of federal and state laws. So, for example, there is federal legislation that governs any company selling across state lines called the Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule and which requires sellers to ship goods within 30 days of the receipt of an order. But, for the most part, consumer protection legislation is enacted and enforced by individual States and you can find some variances in the type and level of protection for consumers. One thing that you will find is that it is common for retailers to offer a 30 day warranty for goods that are bought from them. That is to say, if within 30 days of buying goods from them you find the item to be defective you can return it to the vendor. However, beyond the 30 day limit you have to deal with the manufacturer to resolve any issues with respect to defective goods. Goods will have, generally, a 1 year warranty from the manufacturer but it is still possible in some states to mark and sell a product "as is" with no warranty (implied or otherwise) at all. |
