Story: Time crisis: Administrators called in
Posted by: Ken Davies (Wednesday 3 August 2005, 4:11 PM)
I'm not surprised that Time has gone to the dogs, it's about "Time" too! My 1st experience was with a "Time" shop, in Lewisham, around 3 years ago. I purchased a printer and USB lead & the printer was faulty. It caused some sort of power surge to my USB card and damaged it. I returned both to the shop and was refused an exchange or refund. The staff argued with me and after assaulting me, they called security to remove me from the store, whilst I was calling the police. I was barred from the shop & they kept the printer & USB lead. After dealing with Head Office & being promised delivery of another printer, I never got it. The shop was closed down 3 weeks later, when I passed again. I have now got a new PC, from Tiny ( I was promised by the sales member that Tiny is a totally different company and she guaranteed that they have changed for the better ), and it is not what I wanted. When I first ordered, in February 2005, I had ordered an AMD PC with DVD RW, DVD ROM, TV Card, 8 Card Reader and Floppy Disk drive. The System I received didn't have a TV Card, Card Reader, DVD ROM or Floppy Disk Drive. I was asked to return it and they changed it with what was supposed to be a Pentium 4. However, I received a Intel Celeron PC in return, which is only a 2.4Gb processor. It is slow compared with the 3.2Gb AMD that I wanted. I didn't take it any further as I didn't trust the word of their Customer Services & I will never trust any employee of Granville ever again.
