At Kmart (Altona North), someone removed Buzz Lightyear from a box of Toy Story six figurine pack.
Why, why, why.
You don't have to be facing criminal charges to access help from Legal Aid. I once sought them for advice when I was being stalked (online and IRL) and they gave me useful advice.Quote:

You're one of my favourite posters here, and you add a unique flavour to the board, and are one of the nicest guys around.
Thanks man :) considering the first thing I read on here this morning was someone having a go at me in another thread, you turned my frown upside down :DQuote:

It mostly is, but there were queues to get in, plus food stalls were outside for lunch, and there were a few pavillions to walk between.Quote:

If you didn't receive exactly the same thing as what's in the photo, you have the right to ask for an exchange/return/refund. "What you see is what you get" should mean exactly that. I would let the seller know so that he or she can offer a resolution, before I left them feedback or took it to the Paypal Resolution Center.Quote:

I tend to forgive 'vendor' type sellers for this as I know what to expect since they copy and paste descriptions over multiple listings.Quote:

sure use the same picture for 5 of the same MISB item if all the boxes are in good condition but five of the same loose item should all be individually represented.
Sounds like you got a good resolution Kup, kudos to the seller.
Then they shouldn't have it at all.Quote:

I applied for a job last week and today I got an email telling me that the job was "cancelled"
so, so far that's in the past 2 months
JB Hi-fi: no interview
Big W: No Interview
EB Games: Interview but not hired
Woolworths: No Interview
Woolworths again: Cancelled
plus countless other places that weren't looking for new staff,
I am so sick of being useless. I want a job >.<
and I want money.......
Hey Firestorm,
That's a bummer. Hopefully you can pick something up for the Christmas period at least, I know a lot of retail increase their staff numbers for the Christmas period, it's a good way of getting in the door.
yeah that's what the EB job was a Christmas period thing, so there were dozens of aplicants getting interviewed, and I didn't make the cut.
I think by now most places have their Christmas staff employed and are training them, but I'm not gonna stop looking, it's just getting really frustrating
Sorry to hear Firestorm. :) I have had bad luck in my applications as well. :(
So my front screen door, a 3yr old $700 Crimsafe with 3 latch locks is borked. The top latch dangles outside of it's hole preventing clean shutting and opening, and getting worse to the point where it'll be impossible to open the door soon.
My wife contacted them and was informed "this sometimes happens" and "it's not through misuse". Sounds good right? Then she hit us with "$150 to fix it, and you have to detach and return the door to Westral or pay more for a guy to come out".
Their guarantee says "a full warranty against faulty products irrespective of age" and "The guarantee does not extend to damage caused by accident, misuse or abuse of the product and does not cover depreciation through ordinary wear and tear.This guarantee is in addition to any rights you may have under any relevant legislation."
Obviously we've only ever opened and closed the door like a normal person would and considering there's an identical latch at the bottom of the door that continues to function normally, it's not bloody wear and tear either!
I've written them an email now so hopefully the wife was just speaking to an idiot, but damn, can you believe it?
Anyone have a link to 'relevant legislation' that i might throw in their faces should they still try and charge us?
Edit: someone's coming to 'have a look' for free on Friday now ... we'll see how that goes
If they try to charge you anything, contact the ACCC. Don't pay a cent dude.Quote:

The attachment we have to our pets is often just as strong as it is to the rest of our family. I hope you are able to keep many happy memories.
Have just received a phone call informing my family that my Great Uncle has been rushed to the hospital suffering Renal Failure (Kidney Failure). :(
At 87 years old and having lost his wife earlier in the year to an aneurysm; we're preparing for the worst, whilst hoping for the best. :o
You're in my thoughts Hursti.Quote:
