    Contract of sale - can I compel a company to supply a paid-for item?

    It's a mess. Places like Mouser and Digikey have ETAs for some commonly-used ICs in mid-2022. The auto industry is pretty screwed too, with some companies cutting production by as much as 40%

    Contract of sale - can I compel a company to supply a paid-for item?

    All very good points, RedViking. Businesses need to be adept at responding effectively to these challenges. I haven't mentioned the name of the store because they are a victim of poor choices and circumstances, rather than being malicious. Several of our products now have "POA" thanks to the...

    Contract of sale - can I compel a company to supply a paid-for item?

    Yup, this seems like the best course of action. Fortunately, your opinion matters little. Go look up "straw man". Nothing ridiculous about asking what my rights as a consumer are. Try calling someone ridiculous the next time you do a legitimate business deal and see how far it gets you...

    Contract of sale - can I compel a company to supply a paid-for item?

    It is an exact analogy. Whether a company makes items to order, keeps stock in a warehouse, or orders on a just-in-time basis is utterly irrelevant as far as the legalities of a sale are concerned. And it is not "taking advantage", as you put it. Again, your logic is flawed - I am receiving...

    Contract of sale - can I compel a company to supply a paid-for item?

    Your logic is flawed. You must live a very sheltered life if you think business is fair. I expect to get what I paid for, nothing more, nothing less. Concluding agreed-to contracts costs businesses money all the time. And they are, as you say, a business. Let's say you bought a new BMW, but the...

    Contract of sale - can I compel a company to supply a paid-for item?

    They haven't offered a refund as of yet. I'm just trying to get clarity on what recourse I have at a later stage if it comes to that. Very useful info, so thank you. I'll probably go with the refund - I have no desire to drag them through the ombud process

    Contract of sale - can I compel a company to supply a paid-for item?

    I'll thank you to keep your ignorant opinion to yourself. How am I being a prick by asking for information on my rights? This was not a "bargain grab". I paid a perfectly normal price at the time. Okay, thank you for the clarification.

    Unfortunately, it's not that simple. I wish it was.

    Surely them accepting my payment was a conclusion of sale?

    Contract of sale - can I compel a company to supply a paid-for item?

    Thank you for the reply. They haven't offered a refund yet. The manufacturer in question does have stock of the relevant item, but the retailer does not want to order one because of the price. Does your statement mean that the contract of sale gives the seller the option of refund vs supply...

    Contract of sale - can I compel a company to supply a paid-for item?

    Hi all, I ordered parts for a complete PC many months ago from a local online retailer. It was a single order, which I received an invoice for, and which I paid for in full. Everything except the GPU arrived quickly. I knew the GPU would take a while due to the shortages. I've exchanged...
