refunds

[madhair60]

hi

went CEX sold xbox bought airpods

wouldn't let me test them in store because "would link to my icloud" (?!)

took them home, cunted. heavy distortion in both ears, loads of buzzing, crap

can i legally get refund? they always try it on with credit vouchers but surely as they've sold me something fucked i can insist on a cash refund?

surely?

surely?!

[Barry Admin]

Yeah, you're entitled to a full cash refund.

[madhair60]

so is the credit note thing just pure chancer shit? fucking wankers.

[Wonderful Butternut]

Essentially.

[Dex Sawash]

They only sound bad while the ear mites are on the move

[shiftwork2]

Are these old Pros?  There was a botched firmware update on Pros made before Oct 2020 that gave the buzz.  The replacement program supposedly ended last year but I'd bet they'd still honour it.  The serial number to check is in the tiniest font imaginable in the lid for the right earbud underneath somebody else's earwax.

Otherwise: return the item to the store for a full refund.

[shiftwork2]

Correction for the latter ^ part: return the item to the store where you will be issued with a full refund.

[Clownbaby]

Aye I bought a PS3 controller that clearly hadn't even been tested, because it didn't work in any way, and got a refund no questions asked when I brought it back in and it obviously didn't work when I gave it back to the guy to check.

[dontpaintyourteeth]

No in fact if you enter the store again they will charge you for an additional set

[Sebastian Cobb]

Hang on, people sell, and more importantly buy, second hand in-ear buds?

Might as well buy a used fleshlight.

i did

anyway I'm in CEX right now. wish me luck, friends of madhair

[Butchers Blind]

It's clearly madhair's ears that are at fault. No refund for those.

[madhair60]

i just want to listen to my Phil Colims playlist in peace

[madhair60]

there's a guy in here who has worked in the shop for over a decade and he is still alive!

Is CEX like charity shops and the staff get first dibs on anything good or are they a bit stricter than that? If not that guy's house probably looks like he won The Gadget Show competition ten times over.

A few months back I needed a pair of cheap earphones in a hurry on a Saturday night, there is an all night garage up the road which had some. Got home, they didn't work. Took them back, replaced them with the final pair of earphones they had- they didn't work either. I got my money back though I bet the second time I went back the guy there thought I was trying it on or mad.

Sorry, this isn't very helpful or interesting.

My earphones died halfway through a long journey so I bought a pair from a train station newsagent and they worked for about 6 weeks. Was surprised they lasted that long tbh.

I'd do this, but I'd replace the tips, obvs. There's probably a market for used tips for disgusting men, and if not then I'm going to register a trademark and buy justthetips.com

[PlanktonSideburns]

Wonder if madhair is in jail for smashing up a CEX now

I think fleshlights have sleeves not tips.

[touchingcloth]

I don't even know what a fleshlights are. Are they for SAD?

[Uncle TechTip]

Surely if they've been heavily used they'll have burnt out all the high frequencies, I wouldn't bother.

Different kind of Cex shop.

[Butchers Blind]

No word from madhair. Maybe there was some confusion and madhair is sitting in the CEX storeroom and the ear pods are happily scanning CaB and writing comics.

They said "refund? Re. YOUR fund(ament), more like" and then belted him up the arse into grave. RIP bbz.

All night garage, all night garage, headphone shopping at the all night garage!

[Zero Gravitas]

Everyone's getting one over on and laughing at madhair60.

No the kind of laughing at or getting one over on he'd like however.

I hope he gets an ear infection at the end of all this to boot.

I'll have ten kitkats and a jar of marmite

[oggyraiding]

They have a 24 month warranty on all goods, so they should replace at the very least. Though I've never bought hardware from there due to fear of it being stinky and broken.

madhair was besieged by the bolshevists on the winding road from castle sex. his carriage was overturned and fired into with musket & fusillade, he will be missed
