New international Law re: guaranteeing goods

They brought this law in last week to safeguard folks buying goods on-line, if you buy a camera etc, on-line, it's always been a prob to get an aftersales guarantee, not anymore, so you could buy goods from say, Hong Kong at a greatly reduced price and still have a claim under the manufacturers warranty if you need it.

You will still have to pay UK tax on the goods but it's maybe worth looking into, the only country that's holding back a bit on the deal is the USA, but they're expected to fall in line with the rest of the planet.

Re: New international Law re: guaranteeing goods

Let's hope it goes through although but tbh I see too many obstacles because items manufactured for different countries usually have different specs, so it makes it a lot harder on the regional bases..

The BBC Azz, it was on last week, ask trading standards they might have an update on the situation.

The news came from their Declan Currie, he's the guy that gives you the stockmarket figures every morning.
