If you’re prepared to re-apply fairly regularly, this stuff is the mutts nuts.

Lesson dont use evil paypal.

It’s certainly not worth using Paypal for more expensive items as all of your credit/debit card payment benefits disappear.

Wow, that beggars belief.

Goodbye High Street!

But most retailers have it in their terms that returns are at the buyers expense. So you can pay the Post Office, rather than paying for parking when you wave goodbye to the high street…

It opens the doors for Amazon to take over the world and pay even less tax as all their sales will now be able to originate from the US.

Will Tesco & Argos be able to stand the onslaught…??

Good point well made. They have made the whole buying process difficult though, by having that as a sub-paragraph below their sweeping statement that “At Evans Cycles our priority is to ensure that you are highly satisfied with your purchase. In the unlikely event that you are not, please feel free to return your goods within 90 days of the purchase date for a full exchange or refund.

Any item including bikes (but with the exception of food, videos, DVD’s, face masks, RideIt! events and software) can be returned to us for any reason provided it has not been used or fitted and is returned in its original packaging and with a valid proof of purchase.

Returns can be made at any Evans Cycles store (not just the one you purchased at), including purchases made online. Or you can return your purchase by post.

Refunds will be processed using the same method of payment used for the original purchase. Credit & debit card refunds must be made to the card used for the original purchase, Cheque payments will be refunded in cash but due to banking restrictions can only be refunded at least 14 days after the original purchase date. Due to the high incidence of fraud we regret that we are unable to offer any refund without a valid receipt.”

As the old saying goes always read the small print. I wish I had, I* would look less stupid and I’m sure the OP wishes he had. That first paragraph would certainly lead me to believe that I could return a paypal item. It’s a simple fix though, all it needs is an asterisk after “purchases made online” and a then *excludes paypal” at the end of that section, to make it less confusing.

Evans can have that on me…
😉

Distance Selling Regs. You’re not liable for postage unless they clearly disclose that you are before you buy them. Did they?

Yes, they do in their returns policy “Return shipping costs are non-refundable. If the item is being returned due to our error then any postage will be reimbursed.”

However the store appears not to comply with their own policy in the terms given on the page I linked to above “Returns can be made at any Evans Cycles store (not just the one you purchased at), including purchases made online. Or you can return your purchase by post.

Refunds will be processed using the same method of payment used for the original purchase. Credit & debit card refunds must be made to the card used for the original purchase, Cheque payments will be refunded in cash but due to banking restrictions can only be refunded at least 14 days after the original purchase date. Due to the high incidence of fraud we regret that we are unable to offer any refund without a valid receipt.”

Seems like the OP has a genuine gripe and had to deal with a “lazy” manager…

I eat it, if it was alright I wake up the next morning.

Bongoman in window seat, self in aisle seat. On a table, with two other seemingly normal commuter chaps opposite. So, hardly crammed cheek by jowl with the poor little kiddies.

But in pretty close proximity to another human being then, hardly likely to be pressed up against you, but again I don’t think I’d be impressed if he were sat next to Mrs Gogg or either of the Ms Goggs (why do daughters have to be little kiddies??)

Sorry, if I’ve offended anyone. It was just a question and my sincere apologies for my sexism Cinnamon. 😉

Because a man pressed up against your wife or daughter who isn’t looking at phone porn is instead thinking of something completely innocent?

On the tube, it can be innocent. It isn’t always, but sometimes those carriages are rammed. Been a while since I travelled on it.

😆

That’s a nice response.

On the first one I just wondered how I’d feel if Mr Man was pressed up against my wife or daughter viewing his entertainment in a packed tube train.

I wear mine on a piece of string around my neck when not on my finger. Never gets lost that way (lost in a pocket for a couple of months was a twitchy time).

B@st@rds!!

Hope the 5-0 do the business, good luck with your insurers.

Heat up an old knife on the hob, it will make a much neater job.

Makes a change from Ass candy, I suppose….

Breakfast bap for me this morning from the local van. Sausage, Bacon, Black Pudding, Mushrooms, Tomato & Egg with brown sauce.

Fantastic.

All about Yo Mama (Dis content)

evoc bag is awesome, Pete at Summit to Sea offers a rental service.

Who wants to look like the new Doctor Who??

I’ll cook for her….

You like to eat glitter??

I bet you have goose down in your tubeless tyres.

Yeah, but she’s going to take a year to learn what a teacher can learn in a day, cos teechers is much cleverer. Init!

It’s good news, MAYBE the tide is turning….

The Who
Led Zeppelin
Nirvana
Jimmy Hendrix Experience
The Doors
Sex Pistols
Clash
X-Factor Finalists

One of these I’m not serious about….

“You’re always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece.

Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.

And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it’s no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig.” ”

I disagree, our service led economy has led to a far greater tendency to kill the golden goose at every opportunity.

Are you on your knees gazing up at a beer belly?

It’s why a great number of folk will, sadly, stay away from such a great sporting spectacle. We seem to have the ability in this country to take the cream and then sprinkle it with so much glitter, hundreds & thousands then stick a flake in it and spoil it.

I guess that’s the problem with a “service-led” economy.

New years eve is another classic example and remember the debacle that was the millenium at the end of the day it was just another day beginning. At least this even is genuinely something special, but they’ll ruin it, they always do.

Shitebags the lot of them.

Hydrapak Soquel light, compact and the Turquoise one will match my Yeti if I ever get a modest win on the lottery.

I’ve been using the Lezyne Zecto since October, very happy with it.

It must have good quality sausages x2 (Debbie & Andrews of Harrogate for example, proper meaty ones), Thick sliced back bacon x2, black pudding x2, grilled tomato, mushrooms, beans, 1 slice of fried bread, 2 buttered toast, hash brown (proper stuff, not McCains), eggs x2 fried or poached are acceptable. Brown Sauce.

Big mug of decent coffee (sorry not a tea drinker unless with Scones, Jam & clotted cream).

Sets me up for a day in the office….

When I said everywhere was closed, I meant coffee shops and the like. Seriously, we drove for 7 hours along the Great Ocean Road with 2 kids under two and couldn’t find a single place open on a Tuesday to eat.

Scenery was fantastic.

Rumour has it that the model to supercede the Hero 3+ is less than 4 months from release.

generally stuck to the bedrooms are for two things philosophy

I treat my kitchen in exactly the same way…

Don’t go in May, everywhere was closed.

The fact that there’s a bit of water in between us and the rest doesn’t matter.

Unless you support UKIP….
😉

Hope you got the reg?

Report him, multiple witnesses, he’ll get a slap on the wrist, but his card will be marked for next time.

Not a double, but “WHO” cares when it’s this good!!

I just got one of these

Sorry, overlooked that.

My offer of £75 stands, but as I can’t collect, I’ll go to £100 delivered.
