Tsk Tsk very unhelpful, the Retailer is liable and must honour the guarantee. |
It doesn't matter if a manufacter only offers, say, a 2 yr guarantee, depending on the value of the product, the "RETAILER" has to offer guarantee over and above that, even up to 5 yrs. In other words, you can't expect a £20 product to ge given a 5yr guarantee, but if you bought an expensive electrical item, say a £2000 TV, then you would expect it to last longer than 2 yrs, and the retailer must honour this.
You have to go straight to the top tho, as the Customer Services staff on the ground are mostly unaware of this fact, and everyone is happy to not share this news around!
My recent grumbles where I had to quote said Law were as follows.............
Tescos - I bought a £39.99 HP printer from them online, and it started playing up within 12 months - the implied guarantee. I had appalling service initially from their Hatfield store, who wouldn't accept my receipt being on my phone - an email receipt - as it wasn't printed out!!!!!! NB: the complaint
was a printer!
They merely directed me to several 0845 numbers, which eventually led me back to HP themselves. Circumstances were that I had to go home as I had to be there for something, but I was certainly not putting up with that.
I tried to deal with on twitter, as you do, but they weren't up for acknowledging the law, so ended up ringing the Store Manager. After about 3 minutes stating my case, and the Sale Of Goods Act, I was told that a new printer was waiting for me when I was ready.
It appears that the staff have been told that this is Tesco's new policy, to direct you back to the manufacturer, but do not fall for it, even Tesco are not above the law!!!
Argos - I had a Morphy Richards Microwave in Red, great little product, and it matched the kettle, toaster and breadbin. I didn't take much notice of the 1 year guarantee when I bought it, as we always assume it will last longer, and you are buying into a brand. I do however always staple receipts into the instruction booklets.
15mths later and the microwave started sparking and making funny noises. Here is where knowledge is invaluable. A lot of consumers may assume that as it is outside the 12 month guarantee, that they should have taken Argos up on their extended warranty at the time and kick themselves! No No No folks.
I rang the store this morning to discuss the faulty product. They first said just come into store, but I explained I would rather speak to someone first, in order to avoid a shouty match in store, which isn't good for anybody. Again, I quoted the SOG Act, and thankfully I got a lady in the know who said that she would deal with it.
I went in store and they offered me £40 back against a product which was initially £49.99, this I took to be fair and set it off against a replacement.
I hope this helps anyone, again its down to judgement about what you are paying for and predicted length of life etc.
As an aside!
It turns out Morphy Richards don't make microwaves, they licence Argos to sell their brand. This upset me as I believed I was buying into the brand. I have the kettle, toaster and breadbin, so obvioulsy wanted the microwave to match. See an excerpt from Morphy Richards Customer Services above.
Hope this helps consumers out there.

Shocking
ReplyDeleteWell done on standing up for your rights x
Cheers Claire it's so unjust sometimes!
DeleteCommented on your tweets on this matter yesterday. It is extremely misleading to do this, usually it's the other way around isn't it—big names making products for supermarket own brands etc. It like buying a BMW only to be told it's a skoda really.
ReplyDeleteIt's shocking and their twitter account gone quiet! Argos didn't believe me either so I had to let them have a copy of the email. MR offer 2yr gtee on their products - Argos only 1 on it which was why I smelt a rat!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking time to comment x

Antoinette proved that truly empathetic negotiation should occur before the Coach Outlet Store snipers come in to kill. She is a remarkable lady and a great witness for God love for us. I hope that her example causes law enforcement to hire negotiators with the same qualities and skills as Antoinette, especially in negotiations with the mentally ill.
