  • Conia is a dead company…….. so how to get manufacturing warranty?

    This isn't a bargain, isn't a decent brand, and I don't think buying an expensive TV from dealsdirect is a good idea.

    Aldi had a better TV for only $999 a while ago.

    Its the best available price for any 42" Full HD LCD at the moment.
    If you know of a better price then let me know so I will buy it.

    • I'd be genuinely keen to find one too, please.

  • This is not a good deal at all. As edgar said, Conia is a dead Company, and i think most people buying a 42" would prefer to pay a little extra for a better brand and in a nearby store.

  • Some people simply buy based on price. Its not till something goes wrong they think twice. Saying that I have had a Conia for the last 3 years and all going well. But my next one will be Sasmung or Panasonic.

    What I found really funny was when Deals Direct emailed spammed everyone about this offer they had a giant "5 Star Rating" plastered all over the promotional email, when I checked the 5 star rating it was a 5 star rating alright but the comment associated with it was:

    "Elaine from Narrabri, NSW says, “Was a manufacturing fault in it when I received it on Friday. TV would not go off standby.. Got straight onto Conia and they just replaced it, and received the replacement TV the following Thursday. No extra cost to me, CONIA paid for all freight etc Once again Thanks to Direct Deals and CONIA for the prompt action that was taken.,”"

    WOW - great product endorsement!

    • Elaine from Narrabri, NSW here. I left that comment on Direct Deals site as their service was impecible and very prompt delivery and cannot be faulted.
      Conia were also fantastic, as I live up near the QLD boarder, what was not to say that my TV had been jolted by the 3 carriers that were involved in delivering it from Nunawading, VIC to Narrabri. The TV worked fine and was a terrific picture and I used it for the week while waiting for my replacement. I just had to physically get up and turn it off at the TV switch as it would not go into standby mode from the remote control. Conia were very, very good and rang me every second day, and even rang me after the replacement TV arrived to make sure it was working as it should. Most other companies, such as Samsung or Panasonic would have taken the TV and repaired it NOT replaced it, leaving you without a TV for the repair period.
      I have had absolutely no problems with the Conia 42" TV replacement and works just fine and actually has a better picture than a friend of mine who has a samsung and paid $2199 for hers. And as far as Samsung is concerned, they were an unknown brand 17 years ago also. While I think it ironic that both Conia and Samsung products are both made in CHINA and exported…

  • I'd wait for Aldi to restock their $999 TV's.

  • -1

    Lol u are assuming that they will restock it. That deal is ancient history so get over it and stop comparing every new LCD deal to it.
    it may take months or years for a deal like that to become available again, or it might never happen at all. Even if it does, the chance you will be 1 of the lucky few who gets1 is very low.

    • Well Aldi has informed some people in waiting list it'll be restocked some time in future.

  • Please correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Conia go under? Who is covering their warranties?

    • Who is covering their warranties?

      According to the ACCC, the seller is always responsible for remedies in relation to the sale of goods. I don't think any special consideration is afforded to sellers when the manufacturer of the goods sold no longer exists.

      The right under the Act to cancel a contract and get a refund is generally limited to a reasonable time after a consumer receives a good – this is usually before the consumer has used the goods a lot. […]

      If a good does not meet a statutory condition or statutory warranty after a consumer has owned it for some time or used it a lot, it is still a breach of contract. However, the consumer may not be entitled to rely upon the right under the Act to cancel or rescind the contract and claim a full refund. […]
      It is up to the consumer and seller to negotiate a solution that is acceptable to each party. If the consumer and seller cannot negotiate a remedy, a court or tribunal may decide what is reasonable in the circumstances in accordance with the law.
      As a guide, if a seller breaches a contract with a consumer because a good does not meet a statutory condition or warranty, the consumer will be entitled to a remedy which puts them in the same situation as if there had been no breach of contract.
      Having a good repaired is one of the most common ways this result can be achieved.

      How long do consumers’ statutory rights apply?
      Statutory rights are not limited to a set time period. Instead, they apply for the amount of time that is reasonable to expect, given the cost and quality of the item.
      This means a consumer may be entitled to a remedy under their statutory rights after any manufacturer’s voluntary or extended warranty has expired.
      For example, it is reasonable to expect that an expensive television should not develop a serious fault after 13 months of normal use. In this case, the consumer could argue the item was not of merchantable quality and ask for it to be repaired, even if the manufacturer’s voluntary warranty had expired.

      Who must provide a remedy?
      Sellers – Each sale is a contract between the seller and the consumer. So if the seller breaches the contract by providing goods that do not meet a statutory warranty or condition, it is their responsibility to provide a remedy. […]

      Warranties are an important topic and I will shortly create a forum discussion for them.

  • Lol, cannot find even a website for Conia products. I would definitely stay away from this brand, especially when it is for a $1000 TV. Well, it is cheap, but my experience said "most of the time you will regret from buying these stuff".

    • Conias website: http://www.coniaservice.com.au/
