CCL disappointment

They tested your card before sending it and you complain.

I would be quite happy that it had been quality checked and would not be concerned at all about it being tested before being sent. Pity they didn't send you a faulty one and put you through the time wasting of having to RMA it to get it replaced. The product has been fully tested from the factory. There is absolutely no reason to break the seal after that; no benefit. It only leaves a stench of suspicion that something has been fiddled. Even when it works when the customer plugs it in, he will wonder how long it will work, and whether some features which he needs in the future might not work. I once wanted to buy a CCTV camera from maplins, but the assistant went around and gathered up 10 bits and pieces from the back of store. I wasn't sure that the item list was complete, so I declined the purchase. |

CCL disappointment
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember M saying something like: I told CCL that that made the item second hand and I did not want it. Returned it the same day for a full refund. Be warned. I support your action. When buying something i want a new sealed product too. if i wanted used/opened stuff id use ebay/computer fairs Ditto. When buying new I expect it to be undisturbed. Sounds like the shop sent out a customer return or ex-demo unit. It probably would work perfectly well for years, but there's no way of knowing and I certainly wouldn't want to take the risk for the full price. Opened boxes have a place - the 'B' list, beloved of Dabs. -- Dave |

herb, Grimly Curmudgeon disturbed my reverie and wrote: Ditto. When buying new I expect it to be undisturbed. Sounds like the shop sent out a customer return or ex-demo unit. The label said something like 'has been opened to check contents'. The box otherwise looked brand new...I did not break the seal to check the contents as I could have been blamed for any damage*. The sticker was vague enough for me to phone up and ask directly if the item could have been put in a PC to be tested; the answer was that it could have been. Glad to see I'm not alone in may stance. I got the impression that I was not the first to phone up with a similar complaint. *Just like the chip and pin system is not used for security, it is used to shift blame to the customer from the banks. -- Cheers, DrT ** HTML email should be treated in the same manner as sexual acts between ** consenting adults.
