I bought a camera just last evening after seeing this post: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/119072
It was my first purchase from Harvey, and it seems like it might be the last as well. When I was testing the camera last night, the screen suddenly froze to a black screen. Despite restarting it a couple of times, it was still no good. But of course, when I brought the camera in this morning, the annoying prick decided that it would function perfectly again.
After arguing with/ shouting at a sarcastic staff member (very bad uses of sarcasms, if I may add), I had to repeat the same argument to his manager again (they made it very clear that they are extremely against me refunding their products - be it faulty or not). They also told me that if I really wanted a refund (which I did), I had to send my camera in for approximately 7 days. But should they decide that it isn't faulty, I will have to pay an administration fee to collect it back (surprise, surprise)…
Well, I got my money back at last, albeit after a really long and arduous saliva battle with them. I do understand that their "no change-of-mind" policy protects them from certain troubles, but it just got me thinking why such a big corporation like Harvey would find it so difficult to believe a customer who has had a product for less than 24 hours. Why on earth would I commit to buy a $400+ product, then drop in at the start of their office hours, just to pretend that whatever I bought is faulty?
So anyway, I was just wondering… any other OzBargainers have had a bad refund experience with Harvey as well?
Lol. Yes, most of us have. Glad to hear that you finally got your money back.
