and can you believe it, but my wife WON a fridge on the 2nd. A competition with Savanna at out local liquor shop. That fridge is now in my shop.

I agree, that the store is not responsible , however, it is a little disappointing when you have to repack and make the journey back to the store, for a silly thing like a scratch, considering we paid R250 for delivery, the first time.

Nothing to do with hirschs...

I purchase a triton router, the 2400 watt unit, best under table router i have bought to date, when it comes to ease of use, changing router bits etc, was over the moon with the product, i used it 6 times and the whole machine dropped and would not wind back up again, I had followed instructions and taken the spring out as indicated, so i took it back to builder express where i purchased it from, no problem they replaced the unit, but before i took it, i requested they remove it from the box so that i could check the machine, before i left the store, tried to fit a router bit, but the pin wouldnt hold the shaft, so we had to go thru the boxes until we found one which was in working condition, this is sad considering the stuff comes all the way from down under. You would think a little quality control before it left the factory. If you have ever packed fruit, you would have noticed that all export product of of the best quality, and the stuff which stays in SA is the left overs, maybe that how all the companies think, send the junk to africa or dont worry about quality control in africa, people will just accept any kak sold to them.

Kudos on the prize

I have been buying a lot of my appliances from Hirsch in the last couple of years. My fridge, washing machine and tumble dryer are all from there. They give you the option of better quality and have a larger variety of makes. I have always been very happy. There was some problem with the fridge, I can't even remember what and they replaced it the next day.

Am looking to buy an air-con for my bedroom (replace a window/wall unit). Checked with Samsung this week. they quote me for a model. I take down the model number. I now check with Hirsch. They quote me about R500 more. I ask for the model number & theirs (hirsch's) ends with a PN and not QN as was Samsung. I ask why the difference in model numbers.I am told that the one that they (Hirsch) have is the newer model.

i enquire of Samsung again to discover that I was lied to by Hirsch. The one they have, that is Hirsch, is the discontinued model!!!

I wonder if perhaps Hir.ch may be sourcing from other than Sam..ng - hence the different part numbers? Direct import?

[Didditmiself]

And the reason for you typing Hir.ch and Sam..ng? Others on the forum have used Company names like Hi-Fi Corp, brand names like Defy, Fridgidaire, Savanna etc. No one to my knowledge has been flogged or sued yet. It's not acrimonious to use brand or product names in the right context.

The fact that 'others' do something, is of little concern to me. With the weird & wonderful goings-on in SA, I'd prefer to err on the side of caution.

Thanks...
