MSY targeted by ACCC

MSY targeted by ACCC
Nov 1, 2010

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission alleges warranty rights violations against part retailer MSY.

Amongst serious PC upgraders and hardware tweakers, MSY has a reputation for both unbeatable prices and at times poor
service. Following the announcement today that the ACCC has begun legal proceedings against the retailer, it might soon
be possible to attach the term 'outright dodgy' as well.

Known as a cut-price national retailer of computer parts, the ACCC alleges that MSY has "made a number of false or
misleading representations" in regards to warranty rights. This has happened across multiple stores, on in-store
promotional items, and on customer receipts.

=====================

I suspect this may have to do with a current campaign by the ACCC
against retailers (& wholesalers) who refuse to accept returns of
faulty products, directing the purchaser to the product manufacturer
instead. Conditions of purchase have often included statements
/instructions that the seller has no warranty obligations and that any
complaints/enquiries be directed to the manufacturer.

Nope, Can't do that. Not on.

If they're doing this, they're hardly the only ones. If the ACCC are
trying to make an example of them, the fines, if any, should reflect
that (i.e. be nominal).

It's not as if resources are unavailable to inform people of their true
rights, if they can be bothered to find out. In the real world, one only
has the rights one's willing to stand up for.

The ACCC would much better spend their resources chasing those who make
misleading, or more often than not, outright false, claims about what
their product will do, which people are generally much less equipped to
form their own judgement about.

MSY have a sign on there door at the Ultimo store, which is a pig sty,
that states something like, if we are busy, we will shut the doors early

My particular concern about that product is that the jury's still out on

product could give people a false sense of security.

that product could give people a false sense of security.

**EM radiation is harmful. Length of exposure, frequency and proximity to
source, all dictate how much risk there is. Cell 'phones are particularly
difficult to quantitfy, risk-wise due to several factors:

* How people hold the 'phone.
* Where the antenna is located.
* How far the 'phone is from the tower, since cell 'phones vary their power
output depending on conditions.

The false sense of security given is certainly a possibility, but the
promise of 72 virgins, life after death and other nonsensical claims ranks
far, far higher in the scheme of evil. Religion's depth and breadth of
penetration into the pockets and minds of people is massive. It needs to be
curtailed by whatever means necessary. The first step should be to charge
parents who inflict religious teachings onto their children with
child-abuse.

for both unbeatable prices and at times poor service. Following the
announcement today that the ACCC has begun legal proceedings against the
retailer, it might soon be possible to attach the term 'outright dodgy'
as well.

Known as a cut-price national retailer of computer parts, the ACCC
alleges that MSY has "made a number of false or misleading
representations" in regards to warranty rights. This has happened across
multiple stores, on in-store promotional items, and on customer receipts.

====================
MSY have a sign on there door at the Ultimo store, which is a pig sty,
that states something like, if we are busy, we will shut the doors early
so we can go home right on store closing time.

Their web site is not much better than a pig sty.

If they're doing this, they're hardly the only ones. If the ACCC
are trying to make an example of them, the fines, if any, should
reflect that (i.e. be nominal).

It's not as if resources are unavailable to inform people of their
true rights, if they can be bothered to find out. In the real
world, one only has the rights one's willing to stand up for.

The ACCC would much better spend their resources chasing those who
make misleading, or more often than not, outright false, claims
about what their product will do, which people are generally much
less equipped to form their own judgement about.

**Let's start with religion. If those clowns cannot prove their
claims (life after death, miracles, etc), then they should be
required to refund the monies paid to them. At the very least, they
should be paying tax, like any regular money making concern.



Or this:

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/lifestyle/mobile-radiation-shield-released/story-e6frf00i-1225947450423


**Compared to the bullshit espoused by the Catholics and their income
stream, that product is small potatoes. Let's hit the big liars,
then worry about the little guys.



My particular concern about that product is that the jury's still out
on whether mobile phone radiation is a health risk. If it is, then
that product could give people a false sense of security.

**EM radiation is harmful. Length of exposure, frequency and proximity to
source, all dictate how much risk there is. Cell 'phones are particularly
difficult to quantitfy, risk-wise due to several factors:

* How people hold the 'phone.
* Where the antenna is located.
* How far the 'phone is from the tower, since cell 'phones vary their
power output depending on conditions.

The false sense of security given is certainly a possibility, but the
promise of 72 virgins, life after death and other nonsensical claims ranks
far, far higher in the scheme of evil. Religion's depth and breadth of
penetration into the pockets and minds of people is massive. It needs to
be curtailed by whatever means necessary. The first step should be to
charge parents who inflict religious teachings onto their children with
child-abuse.

Couldn't agree more. Forced indoctrination of children with nonsense is a
form of child abuse, and so is the mutilation of boys genitalia (unless it's
for urgent medical reasons).

I switched to using PCDIY after MSY stuffed up a $10000 order I put in.
I asked them why they were selling stuff to people that I was waiting
on. Their answer was that they would not fill my order until every part
of the order was in stock all at the same time. I had order 5 machines
and if 3 arrived then they would sell the 3 to someone else. PCDIY have
the same prices but better service.
