    Thumbs down Motomail Parts

    Be careful at Motomail if your ordering parts, I was quoted via email a price of $125 for a Honda MC16 250 blade, on arriving at Motomail to pick up, informed it was now $219.00..... and yes our price book was out of date by a whooping 80%, yeah right, was quoted by Japmcdismantlers $145, so the pricebook is not that out of date

    Did you buy it?
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    If it's as it seems, pay what you were quoted - dispute the rest. Either that or return it and buy the other one...

    Cool

    Take the email in with you and show them what they quoted you.
    Then they must sell it to you at that price.


    Otherwise if they dont come to the party on this, then tell them to shove it and buy the other one...


    Quote the consumer act at them...

    Motomail owe you some money back...

    You had a quote. Why pay the higher price?

    Sorry crashe, Try reading the law when you are quoting it.

    Quotes are estimates and while in this case its nuts its not a solid confirmed deal for that price. (unless it is a writen quote and says quote vaild for 30 days then you have a semi garentee +/- 10% or somthing on the like)

    Its the same with price tags, If somthing has $200 on the tag and they charge you $400 (not by error) the person selling you the goods has no legal obligation to sell you that product at 200 bucks.

    A LOT OF PEOPLE are used to the supermarket's(etc) policy that if the price tag is cheaper you get the cheaper price - this is store/company policy and not law.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    I wouldn't know out here in the lawless colonies what the score is but I know back in god's own country that if it says ten quid, then you pay ten quid (or if it's less then fine) but you cannot be charged more than the advertised price.

    As for quotes, who knows? I ask for a price, if I show up and they want more then they can poke it in the zone lacking solar exposure.

    Please read the first post.... they sent him a email with the price QUOTED on it as to what he will pay.
    As far as I am concerned THAT is a written quote.
    That is the price he should have paid for the item.


    Re your example:
    If a tag has $200 on it then THAT is what you pay for it NOT $400......
    The shop has made the error so that is the shops mistake NOT the customer.



    A written quote stands up in court here... as that is the price they have quoted you to pay for...... unless they contact you in the meantime to inform you that the price has changed... otherwise you pay what was quoted.

    If they "offer" it at 200 and you "accept" that is that not then a contract?

    Don't think so mate. If a seller quotes a part for x dollars they're obliged to sell at that price. Not get you into the store then charge what the fuck they like. If the CGA doesn't support this the FTA will.
    Superdukes. Serving up shame to sportsbikes since ages ago.

    Yup - I understand a quote can vary by 10% but a listed or ticket price is an "invitation to treat" if that law still stands.

    Basically it's an indication of what is wanted for the item, but you and the person behind the till/company representative can agree to any other number... any other number at all.

    If they quote, and you act based on that quote (often it's a services offering they are proposing... so returning it isn't an option) I undersand it can vary by a maximum of 10% upwards.

    I'd personally pay the agreed amount. Don't hold out on that or the contract for sale is deemed incomplete, and title for the goods doesn't pass to you. Once you have done that - then tell them to get stuffed.

    Don't expect a cup of coffee next time you walk into the shop though.
