Where’s the bill?

April 30, 2009

Anyone can now sell technology. Just look around us and we will see large supermarkets, to appliance stores to discount stores, banks, the State ... and many more. But one thing is being able to sell and another to provide service.


And I understand getting better, because major brands are made agualimón the ass, when they think about selling their products through channels that are not specialized in computer stores. Because these new channels, they just move boxes, and will provide less service than traditional stores.


These three weeks have been very close on what I'm counting:



  • Customer that enters the store. (This case is also poignant, as he had already sold two PCs, one of them had broken the monitor for two weeks and was out of warranty, we talk with the manufacturer of the SAT and get it repaired and was admitted without cost ... but all those things are forgotten, when one obnubila with the siren song of the supermarkets) is a PC that is bought in a department store one day that he went to do the shopping monthly. It was a high mid-range laptop. I had purchased to go to a graduate course in the capital. The laptop was 8 months. He tells me that he had never worked well, but that was out, I could not go to the supermarket to have it repaired. During the postgraduate course, a couple of friends had been formatted several times but got no point to the problem. Even he had changed the hard drive (total worth only 90 Euros) but still failing. Back to the course, he went to the supermarket, but not carrying the original invoice and the warranty is not processed. Sure, where was the bill? it in the garbage with shopping bags on that day.

    In the end, because the original hard disk was broken, and that he had his friends, it was not properly configured on Windows. Fix it and we charge our work.

  • Another customer arrives with a laptop under his arm. The team failed intermittently, in the chain of friends of the message, you have said that it is a virus problem. That if we can. The ruling given, there seems to be a virus, a line appears on the screen and the PC crashes, but good. We do not see a review and viruses. At the end we start with a Linux Live CD, and while the bug reappears. We make you an explanatory document and we charge our time. At the end you can send it to the manufacturer's warranty.

  • The next customer had bought the laptop in a chain of appliance stores. Three months and had not started, it seemed a failure of the motherboard. Carried the bill, but the store asking another paper that he did not remember that she had been given, in order to process the warranty. Here we did not do anything, fighting with a broken motherboard with a notebook of three months, because we felt something strong. We told him that and insisted that a consumer would see that you said there.


So when compréis computers in some places, you have to take a notary to draw up the minutes of the fact of purchase and the date, but it ... And I also understand that many here are paying a fair sinners, because there are ready to buy such things in stores and then returned and asked the other hand ... but in the end the winner is the manufacturer that has a defective product on the street and not have to repair it under warranty. < >

Unfair Competition

April 29, 2009

Unfair by:



  • Do not be transparent

  • To be very expensive, but obligatiria

  • Pay for all

  • Hcernos lose sales

  • Do not serve at all


The other day I saw a client who had long known that we do not. Configurasemos you wanted a laptop and prepare to work with the local network from the office. He tells me that the laptop was not bought from me, but that is explained when we discuss it and understand.


He came to the company, and give me the laptop, an Acer Aspire with a Celeron with 1 gig of RAM, Vista Basic, 120 GB hard drive. And configure it without any problems, all applications work with Vista (ie Vista is not so bad either in business).


When I went, one of the company, calls me and tells me:


- What's the laptop?


- If you could buy (the model is now discontinued) 400 Euros.


- And the Canon scanner is on that table?


- Some 500 Euros.


- So Come and see the bill


And taught me a bill indicating that the laptop costs 1900 Euros and 2200 Euros scanner ...


- What you paid for that?


- No, this is the best part. You subscribe to a program of the Ministry of xxxxxx xxxxx and we have given.


So our beloved government is not satisfied with freirnos taxes, but what we make is dedicated to tire out the competition. And to fill the pockets of a bunch of friends along the way, because going from 400 to 1900 Euros, much to spend. And the best part is that this customer has already had a system of network scanning, paid from his pocket a lot better than the Canon (and somewhat cheaper) and that the new scanner will remain as an ornament of the table of the accountant. And since the laptop to make us lose a sale.


It is the second client with the same thing is happening to us, what happens is that the earlier we saw the bill.
