    • .... So after a 14 day investigation with p2g i had a live chat with them yesterday ( 8th June) who said they didnt know where the parcel was but closed the case as i didnt take out their protectiove insurance.  So now at 07.33 on the 9th of june i was repling to this thread with all the relivent information to start a claim and i check the tracking of the 'Lost' parcel for specific dates to find the tracking has updated and the parcel is now at the recipients local depot  ? which is annoying because ive already refunded the buyer as i didnt want any negative feedback as it was an ebay listing and id want a refund if i was in his postion. So i posted the parcel with Evri on the 20/5/24  The delivery date was missed due to it being sent to the wrong depot and a case was opened on the 25/5/24 14 Investigation failed to locate the item in Evri's system and case closed on the 8/6/24 and now the tracking has updated on the 8th saying its at the recipients depot so is likey to receive it in the next few days .... Typical.  Oh well nevermind , thanks everyone

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

3 backpackers were looking for a hotel, they stumbled upon one going for £30 a night. They each paid £10 and headed to their room. The manager, realizing there was a discount on all rooms for the night, sent the bellboy to return £5. In the room, they agreed it was difficult to spilt the £5. “We will take £1 each and give you £2″; each backpacker paid £9. Multiply £9 and 3 people = £27. Add that and £2 tip they gave the bell boy = £29. What happened to the other £1???

3 men £10 each = £30

£5 refund = £25

 

men then pay £9 each = £27

LESS £2 refund = £25

 

am I close?

Jo got it really.

 

The room was £25 (£30 minus the £5 returned)

The Bell Boy was paid £2

This equals £27 which is the 3 x £9

 

The trick relies on you adding the £2 to the £27 rather than subtracting it.

I got it????? Me????? Really??????

 

I think that basically the men paid £8.3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 for the room each and not £9 because if you think about it you do not take the £1 of each £10. You divide the £25 by 3.

 

it is very tricky to put into words what I am trying to say.

How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing was wrong with it at all, and in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. I don't know. Now, go to work and try your luck.

Interfere away all you want to, you are always welcome.

 

My washing machine decided to try and catch my kitchen on fire this afternoon. I still feel a bit chesty from all the smoke now.

 

Do you know of any decent washing machines that do not breakdown after 2 years (must not be Hotpoint or Indesit - I have had very bad dealings with them). also the machine has to be fairly cheap.
