Your Consumer Rights

We are often asked to advise on disputes over consumer goods such as costly electronic items, household furniture and sports equipment. Helpfully we usually can say that our clients have more rights than they are lead to believe by the retailers they're dealing with.

The Consumer Guarantees Act for example provides rights and guarantees for you as a consumer when purchasing goods or services for your personal and household use. It applies to any retail sale of goods or services, but not private sales.

That Act gives a number of guarantees about the ownership, delivery and purpose of a product, but it’s more commonly used as protection and a sword when goods aren’t of an acceptable quality or they are not fit for their intended purpose.

Generally, goods are of an acceptable quality where they are fit for the purpose for which they are typically supplied for, free from defects and are safe and durable. This test is assessed on the basis of what a reasonable consumer, being aware of the state and condition of the goods, would consider as acceptable. Things like their nature, price and any statements that are made about them on labelling are all taken into account.

If what you’ve bought doesn’t meet the above requirements, you can insist that the retailer fix the fault. If they don’t, you can then have it remedied elsewhere or reject the goods and get your money back.

Where the fault can’t be remedied or it's substantial, you can however reject the goods straight away.

To give an example, should you purchase a TV that is advertised as having 3 HDMI cable ports but only 2 ports work, or the retailer tells you it has a Netflix remote button and it doesn’t work, you can return the TV to the retailer within a reasonable time of the purchase. The retailer has to fix it at their cost or give you your money back.

If you would like further information on your rights as consumer, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss.

Call or email Richard Hearn for more information.

Bottling expansion could see 9 billion litres of pristine Christchurch water sold overseas

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Cloud Ocean Water has bought land for a second bottling plant across the road from a factory it is developing on the site of a former wool scour.

The China-owned company could be eyeing up billions more litres of water from beneath Christchurch to bottle and sell overseas as part of a major expansion of its operations in Belfast.

At least eight bores with permission to take drinking water are on or next to the new site.

If it gains consent to use them, it could have access to another 7.5 billion litres of the city's water – five times what it can already take – for export each year.

BAMBILLO ADJUSTABLE MASSAGE BED .... UPDATE!

Margaret from St Albans

Hi Neighbours
It is now SIXTEEN weeks since I tried, ordered, and paid for a Bambillo electric bed at a Christchurch Home Show. It has still not been installed properly. It does not raise my head or feet, massage me, put me in the pain-relieving zero-gravity position for which I bought it, nor … View more
Hi Neighbours
It is now SIXTEEN weeks since I tried, ordered, and paid for a Bambillo electric bed at a Christchurch Home Show. It has still not been installed properly. It does not raise my head or feet, massage me, put me in the pain-relieving zero-gravity position for which I bought it, nor adjust in any way. It is just a very expensive, King Single, flat piece of furniture.

WHY? Because it was sent without its motor! It DID come with EIGHTEEN legs, though. (It only needs six). Three weeks ago. I wrote about my experience on this site, and several of you kindly offered advice. I took most of it, as well as emailing the story and your comments to the company, Brand Developers(also known as the TV Shop) marked Attention: General Manager. No response.

Two electricians from different firms later ... (both of whom told me that they had previous experience of this Company's total lack of customer service ... with a customer who was delivered a broken electric massage chair, had to wait for weeks for a replacement, and that was broken, too...) the tally is no motor; then motor sent without the bit that carries the cord to the wall plug to make it go...; no remote control to operate the bed; then it arrived with no batteries and didn't work, anyway; more phone calls via the Philippines and they refuse to patch the calls through to Auckland; more emails to be ignored; then another part was faulty and they replaced one broken item but not the other...

But WAIT! There's more... the bed is difficult for an old lady with arthritis and spinal issues to get in and out of. It sort of sucks you in, and I can't turn over. It is uncomfortable, and the worst thing is .... it CREAKS! If I flex a muscle, or shift my body weight slightly, it sounds like someone walking on old wooden floorboards in an ancient house. My back problems are now worse.

In pain, and at a loss as to what to do, I have been sleeping elsewhere. Meanwhile, this useless piece of junk costing thousands of dollars is not doing what they advertise it will do... all due to their utter incompetence and lousy customer care. Instead of giving me a dream sleep, the Bambillo bed purchase has been a nightmare.

I can't afford a lawyer to force Brand Developers to fulfil the contract, so am stuck with this white elephant. TAKE MY ADVICE .... don't be sucked in by their infomercials. Do what two friends who also wanted a Bambillo have just done. Buy your electric bed from Harvey Norman, where the customer service is outstanding!!

I purchased this bed earlier in 2018 because my bed was falling apart and I just decided I needed to upgrade.
I chose this bed because it is firm but also soft as with the memory foam it will shape to your body.
The bed has a winter and a summer season side. Winter season holds more heat and summer season has a cooling gel in bedded.

I just moved to Christchurch and the bed is too big for my room. I have to sadly say goodbye to it.
But this just means you can enjoy it for less than I purchased it for. Retail price for the bed is $695 + $200 for the base. I am selling it for $525 (ONO) including base. Which is a pretty sweet deal.

Comes with a 4 & 1/2 year warranty

Comes with all legs, packaged up as per photos. No stains no rips or tears.
Comes from a smoke free environment.

I know someone else on trademe who. Can deliver between Christchurch, Ashburton, Timaru, and as far North as Kaikoura.
