Techoni is a internet scam fraud company

2-4 days tends to mean 2-4 business days, i.e. Monday - Friday. 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.

P.S. I don't work for them

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.

We'll see...

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.

Wrong again. Its only bait advertising if the deception is intentional.

You seem to be stuck in a loop there Rod. Akin to being stuck in your own
poo-filled bag I guess.

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 ****s

Not going to fix his problem tho.

How many employees does Tech have ...???

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.

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.
