I cannot understand why someone would voluntarily go to Harvey Norman apart from showrooming their stuff and finding a better deal elsewhere. The few time's I've been there have involved being followed by salesdroids offering pressurised 'help' and getting pissy if you ask for a sharper price. Just an unpleasant experience overall.
I actually went in at the w/e because I'm in the market for a new TV - damn you storms - and I found that the pricing is pretty sharp (although to be honest I haven't researched that hard), I won't buy from them but it gives me a basepoint for haggling.
Absolutely right. They just rely on consumers not knowing their rights or having the patience to check. I’ve educated myself and have smashed a number of retailers, including big ones like apple when they try and bullshit me.
Yeah, they'll try and put it over you if they can.
Harvey Norman are usually full of fuckstick sales people. I went in there to buy a Cannon printer, sales person says they're crap blah, blah, talks me into a HP and it's been the biggest heap of shit printer I've ever owned, The ink runs out really quick, it hardly ever wants to link up to my Lap top, always some different error code coming up on it. Just about every time I need to print something out in a hurry or that's important it fails and I've got to spend hours trying to fix it.
That’s every goddamn home printer on the market now. None of them will fucking work when you need them. Either can’t connect, dried up ink jets or worse still - eventually get it to connect only to find out the ink jets have shat themselves. It’s quicker just to spend the 45mins driving into work and back.
Same here. My hp laser jet, black and white, plug in with a cable is reliable but it’s ancient. My canon colour job fucks around for 20 minutes when you ask it to print something, and then tells me it’s not going to do the job. Forget using wireless or any of that other fancy shit. Lost cause.
I had two cannons, first one was a black and white one and it lasted about 6 years, 2nd was a bubble jet and that lasted about 6 years without too many issues but couldn't get it to work on my win10 because of out dated drivers and the service warning needed to be cancelled. It was going to cost more to get it serviced than a new one.
Do we not have printer rights ? The whole printer industry is a scam. I’ll call the ombudsman now and report back in a few months when they answer.
That's how we roll on RB, go with the flow.
just a heads up, you might want to avoid the boost hubs thread.
But get into the carbon handle bars...
+1. Constant updates, always complaining about ink levels that always seem to be low. then asking for cleaning cycles and all sorts of other crap.
Dot matrix printing = 26
When you deal with seniors that don't have a good memory and are computer illiterate. Still a lot of documentation done on paper. My printer is also a scanner and always good to have a paper backup of certain docs.
