Question about cancelling an order from PB Tech
  • They refunded it, then took it right back out, I'm waiting for a reply from them over it. If I don't hear from them by Monday evening, I'll contact prezzy.

  • 'A bit of a mission': Auckland's new food waste bin scheme causes a stink
  • Man people will bitch about anything.

    We love ours, sure it's one more (tiny) bin to take up to the end of the drive, but it's reduced our regular garbage quite a bit. They are a good scheme, and they latch closed. And for the person in the article complaining about "three trips" you can literally pop this onto the recycling bin to take it to the end of the drive. It's not that difficult with a tiny bit of problem solving.

  • Thank you, I'll keep any eye on the prezzy card. Cheers

  • Question about cancelling an order from PB Tech

    I created an order today for an SSD, and realized after that it was the wrong one. It allowed me to cancel the order after it was made, and it now shows cancelled, but I'm wondering how long it takes for the refund?

    And does it matter the payment was with a prezzy card? I've never had to cancel an order from there so I'm not sure what the process is. Does it automatically get refunded or do they give store credit?

    It's not a huge deal, but I ordered a 500gb SSD instead of the 1TB version which was actually $3 cheaper (same brand the 1TB is gen 4 the 500gb is gen3 from the manufacturer).

    Any advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers.

  • This is the most tone deaf bullshit I can imagine them doing right now. People are struggling to eat due to high food prices, and they decide to spend multi-millions rebranding.

    I wish the government agencies had the balls to put an end to these massive prices, especially when the companies are splashing out on things like this, while making record profits and at the same time there are commercials on TV talking about how people can't afford to eat.

    I'm so fed up with this bullshit and having to decide weekly what we do without this week (in addition to what we went without last week) because we can barely afford to feed ourselves.

  • Oh dear me, won't somebody think of the poor landlords!

  • Waka Kotahi temporarily bans Te Huia train from operating in Auckland
  • I hope there are some severe penalties levied against the train driver as well as the company. This is inexcusable.

    Edit: Typo - sever to severe

  • Prices set to rise as retailers battle high costs and fear of closure
  • Thank you that makes more sense. Even if it is asinine.

  • Prices set to rise as retailers battle high costs and fear of closure
  • If it's capped, how do places like PBTech get away with charging 1-3%? Genuinely curious.

  • www.stuff.co.nz Prices set to rise as retailers battle high costs and fear of closure

    Prices will continue to rise in the next three months as almost 60% of retailers fail to meet sales targets and others fear closure within the year, survey indicates.

    Surely raising prices will help them sell more!

    MyRepublic is shutting down and moving customers to 2degrees
  • I just search around every year for whoever has the best deal when my contract is up. They seem to be pretty much the same these days.

  • MyRepublic is shutting down and moving customers to 2degrees
  • Surely there are laws around that right? Like they can't just keep the extra for themselves and say "Welp, we fold, even though we sold all of your info and your account to another company"

  • Calckey NZ invite?
  • Thank you very much! Sorry for the delayed response, I was out of town over the weekend. Cheers!

  • Calckey NZ invite?
  • I tried to sign up for a few, and all of them are invite only. I just gave up at that point and figured I'd post here instead.

  • The thing is, we are still building cold shitboxes, with the advice of "open windows to air the place out". Well when it's cold and wet outside, it's not going to magically make it warm inside.

    I grew up in a place where we had proper, dry, warm houses. Even houses built in the 30's were warm and dry. Houses hear built even within the last decade are cold damp shitboxes.

    I'm just venting but man am I sick of being cold and damp feeling all the time.

    Hopefully it's okay to ask here, but does anyone have a Calckey invite they'd be willing to share? I'd like to check it out and would prefer a local instance.

    If this is the wrong place let me know.

  • I am so damned sick of being cold indoors. I have three pairs of socks on, including a pair of thermals and slippers and I'm still cold and damp. Why is this acceptable anywhere? We are supposedly a first world country yet we still put up with this bullshit. It's made me very cranky.

  • If you recently moved to Lemmy from Reddit, have you dipped your toes in any other Fedi services?
  • I've used Matrix for ages, in fact it's the chat service my wife and I use (self hosted on my home server) to chat. Other than that and dipping my toes in to Mastadon, I've not used any others.
