Sounds to me like he didn't fit it securely and it fell and broke No one would pay £360 insurance unless intending to make a claim. The tv came with a year guarantee free and with the cost of these tv's dropping so fast the cost of replacement after the first year would make paying so much for insurance madness. Probably there is a policy of not repacing units. where insurance has been taken out because anyone daft enough to buy it is daft enough to be conned out of a replacement (not n this case) |

But not without hassle and ambiguity, (show me hardly anyone who's even aware of it) far better to have legislation in place that states that a piece of electrical equipment I have doled out £500 for is guaranteed for at least a minimum of three to five years, I mean, if a manufacturer isn't prepared to give that sort of guarantee on a piece of of expensive equipment, then frankly imv they shouldn't be in business.

wrote I agree, it's far to expensive. I have recently purchased a fridge-freezer from Comet, cost, just over £400. I did take insurance out, covering failure, for repair and replacement of foodstuffs. That cost only £120 and given that I recently lost over £60 of frozen food when my existing freezer went on the blink, it may be worth it. But - Frozen food loss is often covered in your basic house contents insurance so possibly no benefit here. A fridge or freezer is likely to be one of the most reliable of electrical items in your house because they have so few working parts. The chances of you claiming is statistically small. How old was your previous freezer when it failed? The salesman and store took most of your £120 as commission so the true cost of providing the cover was more like £30. For instance, Argos only charge around £60 for an extra 4 years for the same cover and they also are getting a large commission from that. Electrical goods often fail very quickly or after a long life (the classic bath tub failure curve). In the first case you are already covered with at least a one year's manufactures warranty. In the second case it un-insurable. Earlier posts regarding pushy staff at Comet amazed me though. I find it hard to find anyone to help or advise at my nearest Comet, and that's a mega-store. They are not pushy when you are looking - they are pushy when you are parting with your money and they sell you overpriced insurance, as you have now found to your cost :) If you didn't go into the shop actually wanting to pay £520 for a £400 fridge then the salesman has worked a bit of sales trickery on you. Did he at any time mention how unreliable a combined fridge-freezer was or how much any repairs may cost? -- Alan news2006 {at} amac {dot} f2s {dot} com |

Richer Sounds extended warranties are in a different league from most of the high street rip-offs and so deserve special praise. You can claim back the entire cost of the extended warranty at the end of the period if you haven't used it! (That used to be the case anyway) That company's entire trading ethos deserves special praise. They really do seem to try to provide the customer with what they want with no nonsense, and to live up to any promises they make. (As any company should, of course). At one time they offered an optional "buy-back" guarantee, valid up to three years from purchase, whereby provided the item was in good condition and you'd kept the packaging, they'd give you half its original price against the purchase of something new. I did rather well out of this because I happened to buy a DVD player just before prices plummetted from hi-fi to supermarket level, so by the time I decided to change it, the half price refund was more than the full price of an equivalent new machine, so I bought a much more advanced new machine for about a tenner. Not surprisingly, they'd stopped doing this particular buy-back deal by then, probably realising that they were making a loss with it, but they honoured the deal they'd already made with me without any hesitation.

The thing to look for is who is underwriting these deals. Often, as hs been
noted recently by the demise of set top boxes, the sale of goods act is of no use in real terms. If its underwritten by a good insurance company and its expected to be a lasting item, then get the warrenty. I'd not suggest it on tvs though as in the current climate the whole format may change next week and leave everyone up the junction... Cynical comment...

I wish I'd have looked at their website a few weeks ago when I purchased my 37 inch Philips LCD TV, John Lewis online wanted £599 which included a five year warranty, Makro were selling the same model in store for £399.99 (with VAT £470) yet still wanted an extra £130 for an additional four year extended warranty. After seeing them mentioned here, out of curiosity I decided to check out Richer Sounds only to find that they are selling the same TV for £399 'inc VAT' or £439.90 with a full five year warranty!.. so much for 'so called' trade outlets such as Makro, we live and learn! |

I agree in principle, and do not take out insurance myself on the basis that they are making money from you, it is cheaper to fund your own insurance across all your items, for things like TVs/kitchen appliance you can easily afford to replace these from the money you save unless you get flooded or something. Car insurance is mandatory and cars do come with a high risk so it is fair. However the SOG act only covers 'defects inherant at the time of sale' this means design defects or early failure due to under rated components. The onus is on the consumer to prove their case after the product is 6 months old. It is relatively hard/expensive to prove and they can provide only a partial refund if you have had significant use of the product. In practice most people do not bother claiming and retailers rely on this and are prepared to goto court and lose as the number of payouts are usually small. The SOG act is very weak and, I believe, does not promote long lasting quality products. As a result fewer and fewer manufacturers actually test their products properly before comming to market. Brand names are pretty meaningless, and things are so cheap that many people don't even bother bringing stuff back within the warranty period. -- Tony |

My post expressed fears for everyone, not for any one section of society. You do anti-racism a great disservice by accusing someone who attempts to have a sensible dialogue about social problems of being racist. Don't you see that what I was saying was that we (all of us) need to look at the danger of social unrest and act now? Why do you want to stifle debate? What have you to fear?

However this is not the case. According to the BBC, the first death was the murder of a Jamaican by three Asians. QUOTE Passing sentence, Mr Justice Mackay said: "The four men (Isaiah, his brother and two friends) were set upon because they were Afro-Caribbean and for no other reason. UNQUOTE The second death was that of a Jamaican accidentally killed by his friend who stumbled into him and accidentally fired the reactivated semi- automatic handgun he was holding. So in neither case was it alienated Jamaicans killing Asians. |

wrote: About 3 years ago the EU adopted a 2 year minimum warranty, but Tony B-liar got an opt out for the UK Another urban myth. No he didn't as there was never a "2 year minimum warranty" proposed or adopted in the EU. There is no requirement for a manufacturer or anyone else to offer any warranty at all on their products. The Sale of Consumer Goods and Associated Guarantees Directive 1999/44/EC introduced a minimum period during which a consumer could seek redress against the supplier for faulty goods of two years. Before it in several EU countries this absolute limit was 6 months. In the UK it was, and had been for many years, 6 years (set by the Limitations Act 1980). This time is the legal limit for making a civil claim, beyond it no claim can be made. It is not equivalent to a guarantee When 1999/44/EC was introduced into UK law by the Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations 2002 the 6 year time limit was left unchanged rather than reducing it to the EU minimum of 2 years. I'm sure that his friends like retailer Lord Sainsbury had no influence over his decision for our common good From the above it would seem he didn't as the time limit in the UK was not reduced. |
