So if you play with it and change your mind, then you can return it -
with
the only "catch" being the usual one of having to return it in a saleable
condition. Sounds like play and return to me...

It seems to me that this policy is excessively generous and open to
abuse. What's to stop someone buying an expensive plasma TV just for
the World Cup or Olympic Games, for example, and then returning it
when the event is over, and before it hits his credit card?
Not much, but who would bother?
 
"Michael" = scum of the planet fuckhead

" I've had considerable hassles returning some items to
DSE within the first 7 days. The bigger the value of the the goods, the
bigger the hassle. "

** The above is a pretty damn clear indication that you do it regularly.

No it isnt, turd-burglar.

** Yes it is - you brainless arse pedlar.



I have, in fact, bought three items from DSE over the past that I have
returned due to performance issues.

** Then it seems quite irrelevant to the 7 day return policy.

Why, dickhead?


** Failure to perform as advertised is a separate issue.

No limitation period applies.

Plus the customer need to detail the issues.

A DSE customer could pull that criminal stunt exactly once only at a
given store.

Huh?

Demonstrate to me where I said that I "make a habit of changing my mind" or
that I "play and return." I said neither - that's YOUR twist dude.

You really are wasting space. Pity I can't make mincemeat of you on-stage
in a live debate.
(Actually, I retract that - it would be boring because you're such easy
prey.)

No hassling? I've had considerable hassles returning some items to DSE
within the first 7 days. The bigger the value of the the goods, the
bigger the hassle.



** When you make a habit of *changing your mind* like this they have to
right to refuse to sell you anything.

It is not a play and return policy.

Liar. I made no such claim.

Some do. One arsehole I know personally borrowed a system
at the start of a long weekend and copied all the tapes he could
get his hands on and returned it on the tuesday.

Thats one real downside of those guarantees, you can end
up with a system someone else has returned previously.

I do often buy stuff from places that do have that sort of
free return system, but normally use the ones where you
can inspect the box before you take it to the checkout so
I can see if its been opened already. Easy with woolys
because they put a sticker on it when they repack it
after checking that all the bits were returned.
