RE: Homebase Split AirCon Packaging condition Query

[Keith Doxey <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

The first time I bought mine the box was very tatty.

Several people had opened the box and lifted the unit out to look.

I used Parcel tape to secure the polystyrene base to the box when I
returned
it.

When I bought it for the second time the polystyrene base was missing
completely and the units were on a pallet with the cardboard sleeve chucked
on t p.

First time I bought it it was marked...
?699 - reduced ?599. Queried this and bought it for ?299

Second time it still had the ?299 marking and I queried this stating that
the website showed ?199. They checked and sold it t  me for ?199.

Last night I had the best nights sleep for about a month :-))

Today I found a solitary split air con unit hidden away in an
inappropriate part of the store. It is boxed, but the box seems very
worn and looks to have been resealed with brown parcel tape. There
are none of the plastic things (not sure what you call them but they
are used to seal a lot of boxes, loops of plastic heat sealed
t gether which are usually so tight they damage the cardboard
packing) and I will insist that it is opened before purchase.

Can anyone who found a mint or decently packaged unit confirm whether
or not the original tape was similar to brown parcel tape before I
try to get additional discount on the item?

Hoping Keith will als  reply with a little more detail on his large
discount on a unit he had already returned once :)

Thanks,

Mark.
