Misleading On Line shop advert at Cycle Lab

[Patchelicious]

Sometimes hub moderation boggles my mind, make one or two jokes about a selfie and the thread gets locked, 5 pages of drivel, no problem... 

Then one or two chirps about parenting skills and BOOMMMM goes the dynamite!

"Only" 3408 views so far, has not reached full potential

I'm writing to complain about your service offerings, which are well short of my expectations.

 

In November, I suffered the tragic breakup of a long term relationship. Being out of the game for so long, I chose to try online dating - and was enticed by your online adverts promising me the opportunity to experience joy, love and harmony.

 

Looking at your advertising, I was excited by the prospects of a new life where I could move on and be happy.

 

There has been a smorgasboard of characters I have now interacted with, with a zero percent hit rate. I have yet to find someone with the combination of weight under 60kgs and IQ above 110, there have been many with the transverse.

 

There are no unicorns like this on your system

And your adverts should look like this.

Please refund my 3 months subscription in full.

Don 'the' Queen

ps. This letter has been sent to the Advertising standards authority, who bat for the consumer and are not scared to take on big evil misleading corporations like yourselves.

I have a like-new* Schwinn Madison frame for sale after this morning...

 

Any offers? Do Cycle Lab take trade-ins?  

[xnadu]

Would not pay a cent more than R300 for a Sram groupset...no matter what colour it is...

 

Question:

 

Who has been to purchase something at spar as an example ( in my case tops) and the price on the shelf says x, you check out, and the price on the till display is y.

What did you do?

A) inform the tilltannie of the mistake, and go through the process of speaking to the manager to get the mistake rectified? Then proceed to pay the lesser price?

B) inform the tilltannie, and insist on paying the higher price

C) keep quiet and pay the lesser of more expensive price?

ok it is Friday 2day

 

The obvious answer will be A  - but its not law that the comp must give you at that price - its more to do with comp policy.
