eorpach

As above. Link here:

Tefal ActiFry Discount

Offer is in conjunction with the Nutracheck website - discount is about £50 extra to prices currently on Amazon.

This site doesn't deliver to ROI addresses, so you'll need to avail of Niteline's Parcelmotel forwarding service from Belfast.

White 1kg and Family models cheaper in DID.

http://www.did.ie/fryers/where/manufacturer/tefal

Use AXA card if you have one for further 7% discount

Had gotten one of those £100 off discounts before but when I went to use it I though prices looked a bit inflated

Typical, this would come up the day after I put my 2in1 on adverts.

Unless you have the AXA further discount at DID, they still work out very slightly cheaper on the above website. But yeah, for the small price difference, support Irish jobs

I would recommend buying from a site that ships directly to Ireland. I love my actifry but they can have parts that break and if that happens in under a year you can return it to the store you bought from for a replacement or refund. If you buy from a store that doesn't ship directly to Ireland then you'll have to pay to send it back to the UK yourself if theres an issue and that would be very pricey.

Sorry, Whimsical but neither of your points are correct.

EU law kicks in to protect shoppers who purchase online from other EU countries, so Tefal in Ireland must stand over the purchase. This is the case, no matter which EU country from which it was ordered, whether online or store bought.

Tefal's Irish service centres are in Rathcoole, Dublin and in Ballygarvan, Cork. Here's their Dublin phone number: (01) 677 4003.

Regarding the other point, a product guarantee applies for a minimum of TWO years across the EU, not one (as used to be the case). So anything bought in Ireland has a two year guarantee; as does anything ordered onlline from a website in another EU country.

(In some cases the guarantee can be longer than two years, depending on the nature of the product e.g. a car; ask the National Consumer Agency, or see the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act).

I'm sure most people know both of these points already, but they bare repeating every time that somebody quotes VERY outdated consumer protection legislation.

Note: If you wanted to return your ActiFry to a UK website, instead of to Tefal Ireland, you're entitled to do that too. But you shouldn't be put off getting a bargain online because you mistakenly believe that a manufacturer can walk away from your defective product - especially given the fact that you have a 14 working day no-quibble money-back cool-off period for anything you order online. This advantage does NOT apply to something bought in a store.

Was tempted by this, so went reading a few reviews.

It seems that there is a LOT of people saying that these devices have a tendency to catch fire after they go out of warranty, and TEFAL refuse to acknowledge this fault. It was also on Watchdog at some point.

Look at the Philips Air Fryer...more expensive but so much cleaner to use and can cook a lot more than this machine, uses no oil at all...we have ours for the past 3 years and it still works perfect and is safe for the kids to use,,
you do not need the expensive one jut the basic is what we have had...try around for the best prices

I think you mean this one:

Its a bit cheaper if you order from the UK:

I never claimed that a manufacturers warranty would not stand, or that the shop warranty would not stand.If you read my post you'll see that.

I said that if you are returning a product to a store that only ships to the UK and are using PM to do so then you will have to pay postage to return to the actifry to the store in the UK. They won't pay for returns from Ireland if they did not send to Ireland in the first place. The same applies to the distance selling cooling off period, you pay postage to return something and postage to the UK is considerably more expensive than postage to an Irish store.
I feel they are valid points.
Personally if I buy something and find it to be defective I prefer return for a refund or replacement. Those remedies are only available to you via the retailer and while they're not guaranteed they're most frequently the remedies offered by a store. Manufacturers generally offer you repair as a remedy and they have several weeks to return your item to you. On the whole it is widely regarded as less satisfactory.

I have learned the hard way that when the price differential between a UK store and an Irish one is very small it's wiser to pay the few extra euro to buy in Ireland,particularly if you're buying a heavy product that has known faults associated with it.

Muahahaha

Very true, in fact it should be said more often as very few people seem to know their rights when buying online. In fact I'd go as far as to say when buying online you have more rights than buying in a bricks and mortar.

I did read your post, Whimsical, and I thank you for the reply. I do accept your point about having to pay for postage if you return something to an online vendor, but then you have to pay for petrol for returning something to a shop, and potentially having to make repeat visits, and the time that that may involve....

As a general observation though, I am fully acquainted with the law, and I did find your initial explanation misleading enough to require clarification for the benefit of other online shoppers.

Whilst this may be your personal experience, this is factually incorrect. You as the consumer do NOT have the choice between whether to have something refunded or replaced, and you as the consumer do NOT have "better" rights against a bricks and mortar store than against a website.

The law gives the seller/manufacturer the choice of whether to refund, repair, OR replace a defective item (for one of similar value). Again, that choice is not the consumer's to make, it is the seller/manufacturer's, and this is the situation regardless of whether the purchase was made online or in a bricks and mortar store. There is no distinction between the two channels of sale. Therefore, your statement that a refund or replacement remedy is only available via a retailer (and not via an e-tailer) is wrong and misleading.

I appreciate that you prefer to shop in store rather than online, but please don't misrepresent the legal position to people who do not hold such a bias. You seem to have an issue with the cost of posting things, which is an entirely different matter.

You are right Muahahaha, you do have more rights.

For example, in a bricks and mortar store in Ireland, you're only actually entitled to a credit note if returning an item (Superdry on Suffolk St, Dublin are the most recent example of a retailer I have come across who who do this). Brick and mortar stores that give you a full refund for something you don't want actually only do so out of the goodness of their heart.

Online stores, by contrast, are required to give you a full refund (less shipping costs) within 14 working days.

If it is in the same condition as it was when they sent it to you. I.E. unopened in cases where you change your mind.

The reason for the law I believe is to allow the consumer to look a the packaging like they would in a bricks and mortar before deciding upon whether or not they want the item.

Of Course if they change their mind they have to send the item back at their own expense and will have to wait for the retailer to then process the refund. The whole thing can take weeks.

The law also extends to buying stuff on a catalog over the phone or any other form of distance selling.

If the item is posted to you then the law kicks in.

If your returning an item as unwanted to a physical store you're not entitled to anything actually. A credit note is the store going beyond requirements.

If you check the price of postage of an actifry to the UK via reg post via AnPost you'll find it comes in between 40- 60 euro.That may be a pittance to you but that expense would negate the point of bothering for a lot of people. That point is worthy of consideration for anyone with any sense.

I did not at any point misrepresent the law. I am very well acquainted with consumer law, I have studied it at university.I am also familiar with real world experience.

Nowhere did I suggest the consumer has a choice of remedy in a store.Nor did I make any comment on bricks and mortar stores versus online stores. My point was regarding online stores in Ireland and those abroad that had a policy of sending to Ireland vs those that had a stated policy of not sending to Ireland. I had presumed that seeing as this is a conversation about an online purchase you'd understand I did not mean B&M stores.

If you know consumer law you will know that the rights bestowed by the sale and goods act are significantly more robust than those you get under a manufacturers warranty which often have caveats and limitations,eg not covering parts for example. It is acknowledged that it is usually preferable to enforce your statutory rights when you have a choice between the two.

One reason this is so is because a manufacturer will 9/10 opt to repair your product rather than replace it in case of malfunction. This is usually a considerable inconvenience as it means you are without your product for much longer than you would be with a simple replacement,sometimes upto 6 weeks. In cases of replacement you will often receive a refurb rather than a new product.Online stores will most usually ,though not always, offer you a new replacement or return for refund in these situations.
Just to clarify, all these remedies are fully legal,I'm just commenting on how they are usually implemented. It is well worth considering usual practise when weighing up your options here.

In this instance there was an option flagged by another poster to buy online from DID for almost the same price and my initial comment was just to warn people of the pitfalls they might avoid by doing so.It was intended as a casual online post, not legal advice.

Just as you felt the need to offer me a helpful suggestion I will return the favour and suggest you take a little more time to read what's in front of you before rushing in. It's a handy tip for posting online and essential in a legal career if that's where your ambitions lie.
