Really a very useful post! Unfortunately, buried in virtual obscurity in a thread not many look at.

@ Mods, Where could one place this type of post for others' to find? "Motoring" seems to be the obvious choice but it seems to me that we need another place easier to find?

Any thoughts?

I was hoping that the link would make it into MyBB's news article and would be more useful there (at least for those that do read the news articles before posting).

I think MyBB needs to reevaluate the decision to only create threads for the very limited subset of IT/tech news articles.

And related to that, someone needs to explain why the following thread was created for a news article that is not related to IT/tech:

How Takealot handles warranties on big-ticket items

Takealot has apologised for a mix-up regarding the warranty on a customer’s Samsung washing machine and refunded the expenses that the customer incurred as a result of the issue.
mybroadband.co.za mybroadband.co.za

according to the CPA(Customer Protection Act)
The customer is entitled to choose between a refund, repair or replacement within 6 months should the item be faulty?
Takealot states in this statement that they make this decision not the supplier.
This conduct of takealot.com is illegal and not in conformity with the CPA.
As a news website I suggest you clarify this statement with takealot.com.

I have posted a screenshot of the revelent legislation in the discussion on the link above.
This would make it easy to follow up with takealot.com
