Shop and verbal quotes - monyx - 09-02-2007
Alrighty - I might have let off steam too quickly... but unbenownst to me there was a Ventura handlebar in the box for 250cc road bike..nothing to do with me and since receipt just says "street bar chrome" I didn't realise what the hell it was, just thought "hmm won't go well with my black rack"
Bit annoyed having to sort this out as wife and I were heading to Nowra Sat AM for wedding. Anyways, Dennis at the CMC was helpful and apologetic about the blow out in cost which wasn't too bad ($38) once we realised the bar wasn't for me. Final price for Ventura L BKT + Ventura Pack Frame for GSX1300R = $218.40 with 10% discount.
(I'd made doubly sure I wasn't being hit for the surchage for no bag which is $44 - sold on the proviso I take out my bag label this week)
Moral of the story don't go off at your wife...profit saved and them some has to go on a big bunch of flowers to make up for my hissy fit at home Edited by: monyx at: 11/2/07 23:50

Hmm I think as far as quotes go (someone correct me if I am wrong) it has all the elements of a contract and are seen as such by the law even verbal ones. However, since Mrs Monyx paid the higher price it is seen as acceptance of the counter offer. Mr Tony advises to burn the shop down. Salutations

Yep, you are right Trix. There is a whole heap of easily read guidelines here Fair Trading They are a pretty good guide. Note that 'I can get it cheaper somewhere else' isn't a valid response. Avoid it if you can. There is a whole heap of text on 'No refund' policies. I also noted that it says that a shop cannot refuse a refund if you can't produce a receipt (I know you didn't say that but i found it interesting), if it is evident that it was bought at that shop. (For example, if it has a price tag still on it). I didn't know that and have been told to piss off lots of times. I walked too, because I couldn't remember what I did with the receipt.

Which shop screwed you Markus? we need to know. We'll make sure we don't do any business there. How about a slew of telephone calls? They may reconsider if they get bad press.

Markus did you take part of the tag from inside the bag with you as this sounds like the diference in price with having and not having tag dont blame shop just yet they probaly looked up price for rack but may not be aware of the surcharge venture place on there racks wich a refund of surcharge returned to them from ventura once they send the tag in if you need part of tag let me no and i will send you one give shop a call and see if they are aware of this and if not get them to ring ventura.
