What is amaing is that people hand over their $1000 device to a store to repair, without any form of security over the item. So if the business disappears, then they maybe completely out of pocket, as they sometimes end become a creditor. I would like to see some consumer protection for this type of thing. I am guessing some credit cards may provide some type of insurance. Although that usually only applys when initially purchasing., and not 6 months down the track when it develops a fault that needs repairing. It is one area where it can pay to shop in NZ, but even NZ companies can disappear.
