    Help Someone Please?

    I have just went an bought a Christmas present for a dear friend - it is a Lenovo Z480, the model number is 59344682.

    It has the core i5 processor, 3210m 2.5ghz. 1 TB Hard drive, 4GB of RAM. I bought it today from the Airport Plaza IT City, it was on special offer from 23,000 or so down to 19,990 - plus I got a free mouse, carry case and cleaning kit.

    I haven't even finished charging it up yet and I get a call from IT City asking me to return it as they have given me the wrong one?

    It looks fine to me and appears exactly as advertised, how can it be the wrong one? I have checked the model number on the case and everything is as I asked.

    The problem I have is my Thai is not that good, and the man from IT City doesn't really speak that good English.

    I am happy with the present, I don't want to have to have someone drive me back to the city and cost me another 750 Baht.

    I can only imagine that because they phoned me they have lost some money, and are not exactly bending over backwards to help me out. I suspect (maybe when I get it charged and running) that it may be a better model than they had on offer.

    Does anyone know where I stand on this? I cannot see that I have to return it to them, at my expense if it is their mistake. They should collect it, also what happens if I pay for a copy of Windows 8 and install it - I cannot then transfer that to my replacement? I would imagine that the minimum would be changing over the hard drives - infuriating - these sales people are standing around with nothing to do in the Airport Plaza, watching TV and fiddling with computers, I give them the only sale I see in half an hour and they mess it up!

    Any advice thanks.

    It depends.
    Are you an honest person with a healthy set of ethics and morals?

    Don't bother then, and no I am not Christy Street and I am not a horse proctologist - but I think some of you lot need a finger where the sun doesn't shine you blinkered old fools.

    I was looking for help from some of the more decent people on this site, but it sadly seems that this site like many others is starting to get flushed down the toilet as do many other ex pat sites, sad really that the owner doesn't care to see how badly this site is going downhill and becoming a worthless piece of internet junk.

    To be fair, you cannot possibly judge both either size or quality from that pic.

    What would you do if you were back in Wokingham Siena?
    They certainly need to absorb the cost of replacing it.

    And she is only 15, so be nice to her.
    Actually she is only 13 in the pic, so it's probably against a rule or something to be talking about her titties.

    That would be me, for one...heh...You have to take most of the others with a grain of salt and a pinch of shite...Don't worry about them...

    Sorry I don't know much about computers...but I agree it sounds fishy that they want it back. You probably got a good deal and they just discovered that, like you said.

    Maybe you should offer them a finger where the sun doesn't shine...

    For some others here, they won't be waiting for the sunshine, believe me. In fact there was a thread about a prostate massage expert in Pattaya, I believe.

    Anyway, lighten up and have some fun. Sorry 'bout the lack of computer knowledge.

    I think that you are right Siana, you've ended up with a better model and they've lost money. Stuff em I say. Most of the time they're trying to rip us off. Many's the time that you buy something and when you are in the process of paying they come up with, "sorry, I make mistake" and then tell you that it's another 500 baht more.

    Anyway, since you bought it as a present for someone else, when they come to collect it, just tell them, "sorry, no have".

    The way they treat staff here in Thailand I would bet that if a mistake has been made the company will charge the employee the amount lost. Why not just go back to the shop without the computer & ask what the problem is .
    Just tell them that you haven't been home since the call so couldn't bring it with you .
    Nice pic

    The most decent bloke on this site is WNS, and he's a Nigerian scammer. Well, a scammer with Nigerian roots.

    So whaddaya expect.

    Talk to the queers and circle wankers then, if you think that dribbling crowd is decent.
