just taken my set top box- dvd recorder in 4 repair

for the 3rd time

and its only 6 mths old
(this is the second recorder we have had- the 1st one didnt work from the get go exchanged after one day)

i rang the store b4 we took it back- its the manufacturers policy to have it repaired- fair enough- but 3 times

and dont get me started on my puter that "died" 2 weeks out of warranty- after being repaired twice

these arent cheap items that come from a discount store, i work hard to save to buy these items
is it too much to ask that they last longer than the warranty period

now 4 service providers

i rang my superannuation company, their systems are down- i need to ring back this happens on a regular basis
this is to give them information that ive already supplied- twice

now my mobile ph carrier has me on a "call-back"



i know in the scheme of things- the above is trvial, but i just needed to vent- b4 i blow a fuse
maybe i just need to start the day over

we had a digitec set top box we took back twice, the second time we demanded another brand as replacement.

I feel your pain.

This week the mic on my landline phone (with cord) that was supplied by optus when we connected with them, packed it in. I can hear people talking, but they can't hear me. So I took it to the optus shop, but they don't do landline phones any more. Didn't want to know me

thx charlotte
its just so damn frustrating.


i bought a mobile phone in september- and only now want to up load pics to my puter- it didnt come with the software to do it- now they want to lump me with a further charge 4 a disc
it came with the data cable- i thought id be able to do it on line- but no dice.
i wished id realised it was missing the disc earlier
but i havent given up that battle yet
