Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / October 2006Techoni is a internet scam fraud company
I called Techoni and asked if they had a I-Mate JasJam in stock on Oct 10, 2006. They said they did and their wesite said they had it in stock with 2 - 4 days shipping. I gave them my credit card. They charged my credit card immediately on Oct 10, 2006 and did not ship my I-Mate JasJam as of Oct 7, 2006. I called them serveral times asking for a shipping tracking number. Sometimes sales says the I-Mate JasJam is back ordered and sometimes they say it's being packed. I asked for a refund and they said it could take 14 days!! This totally unacceptable. Don't buy anything from Techoni. -South Tahoe Sydney Australia > a refund and they said it could take 14 days!! This totally > unacceptable. Don't buy anything from Techoni. I strongly suggest issuing a credit card charge back with your bank. > I called Techoni and asked if they had a I-Mate JasJam in stock on Oct > 10, 2006.

So if you ordered it on a Saturday you'd have to wait until Monday for them to process the order in a meaningful way, then allow 2-4 business days, i.e. until Friday the 13th, for shipping. Liron P.S. I don't work for them > Sorry repost... > I called Techoni and asked if they had a I-Mate JasJam in stock on Oct [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > -South Tahoe > Sydney Australia Aside from the merits or otherwise of your case, did you try exercising your consumer rights (eg. Dept of Fair Trading can be very effective) before slagging off against a registered, legitimate, bona fide business in here? T**** may exercise their rights too, given the nature of your posting. It appears you have exhausted verbal reproach with the company. I suggest time to: 1) write a letter or email to the appropriate management in the company setting out your concerns and what action you would like to happen. 2) Set a deadline for response, flagging that you intend to pursue the matter with Dept of Fair Trading (NSW) if the matter is not resolved. 3) After the deadline, if no satisfaction, submit a report to Dept of Fair Trading. This can be filed via their website. Yes, being a consumer is a pain at times, but will be more effective than posting in here or defending defamation actions. >I called T****** and asked if they had a I-Mate JasJam in stock on Oct > 10, 2006.

Thanks for your advice. It would not be defamation because the statement was made to protect public interest and is of public benefit. In addition, it is a "fair comment". I honestly hold the opinion that I was and still being defrauded. They have my money and I don't have the product. Sorry, not a defense. >> Yes, being a consumer is a pain at times, but will be more effective than >> posting in here or defending defamation actions.

They have my money and I don't have the product. Techoni is in violation of the Australian Trade Practices Act of 1974 Sect 58. You can not take payment for goods or services knowing that you can not deliver the goods or service within the period specified. Techoni specified 2-4 days. I know did not have the item in stock. In fact, they are in violation of another unfair practice called "Bait Advertising". Therefore take it up with effing Consumer Affairs for effsake! If they are in violation, it doesn't justify the accusation leveled in the subject header. Mistakes do happen. sheesshhh Sheesh! I got overcharged by my local supermarket but that doesn't automatically earn them the title of scam/fraud company. > Techoni is in violation of the Australian Trade Practices Act of 1974 > Sect 58.

We'll see... > You can not take payment for goods or services knowing that > you can not deliver the goods or service within the period specified. That sect actually says (b) there are reasonable grounds, of which the corporation is aware or ought reasonably to be aware, for believing that the corporation will not be able to supply the goods or services within the period specified by the corporation or, if no period is specified, within a reasonable time. That is quite different to your restatement. > Techoni specified 2-4 days. I know did not have the item in stock. Doesnt prove that they didnt know that they couldnt get them in stock in that time. > In fact, they are in violation of another unfair practice called "Bait Advertising". Wrong again. Its only bait advertising if the deception is intentional. Techoni is in violation of the Australian Trade Practices Act of 1974 Sect 58. You can not take payment for goods or services knowing that you can not deliver the goods or service within the period specified. Techoni specified 2-4 days. I know they did not have the item in stock. They just want to hold my money as ransom. In fact, they are in violation of another unfair practice called "Bait Advertising". > Aside from the merits or otherwise of your case, did you try exercising > your consumer rights [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > T**** may exercise their rights too, given the nature of your posting. There is nothing for them to excercise. He's just stating a business scenario. He is well within his rights to say that Techoni are a bunch of f.cks Not going to fix his problem tho. How many employees does Tech have ...??? >> Aside from the merits or otherwise of your case, did you try exercising >> your consumer rights [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > He is well within his rights to say that Techoni are a bunch of f.cks I called these people on Friday to purchase the same product, and they seemed patient and friendly. They put one aside for me for me to pickup in the afternoon. I didn't have time to get into the city on Friday, but intend to do so on Monday. It seems from the way the poster has posted that he jumps to conclusions very easily. It sound to me more like a problem happened somewhere, and he deals with it irrationally. I am not sure how credible the poster is - his dates are all wrong - his expected ship date was before the date he gave his credit card details - if he actually did. My colleague purchased an O2 PDA from them earlier in the year, so I doubt they are a "internet scam fraud company" Why not just go in there or call them up? You say you are in Sydney. > Not going to fix his problem tho. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> >> He is well within his rights to say that Techoni are a bunch of f.cks > I asked for > a refund and they said it could take 14 days!! This totally > unacceptable. Don't buy anything from Techoni. I agree. I purchased an "in stock" item from them 3 years ago, yet it took two weeks to reach me. In the mean time, they told me the price they'd advertised was wrong and wanted to charge my credit card further. And despite living near their office, I wasn't allowed to pick up or pay for the item in person. So I said "never again". I'm surprised they're still around. |
