23.04.2020

I want to leave my feedback on the work of the Know-How store, Troika shopping center (Auchan-Sokolniki). I needed a new one mobile phone by Friday 07/26/19, so I arrived at the store in advance on Wednesday 24.07, I was met by a friendly seller named Vyacheslav. Vyacheslav well done, he helped me decide on the model of the phone, printed out a coupon with a discount of 500 rubles. and agreed that they would bring the phone the next day, since only a copy from the showcase is available. At that time, Alena, the director of the store, was also nearby, I asked if I could pay with a Halva card, she answered yes, plus I had 416 points accumulated on the store’s account, which can also be used, a total discount of 916 rubles, plus an external battery as a gift Power bank, upon purchase this model. In the afternoon, Vyacheslav called me, said that the phone was brought to the store, I arrive on Thursday 25.07 half an hour before closing, the employees for 20 minutes cannot find where they put the phone, they still found it, cheers! Further it turns out that the discount is 500r. and the points are 416, they don’t add up, after another five minutes, Alena tells me, there’s no discount at all, so the Power bank is a gift, I think it’s okay, I chose another cover. I present the Halva card for payment, in response to a refusal, they tried several times, it doesn’t work, there is enough money in the account. I ask the employees, I don’t know why the payment is not going through, no one knows, they started to figure it out, I got through to the bank, it turns out that Halva works only if you pay through the site, now the employees know about it, cheers! I made a payment, a cashier's check came to the post office, I show Alena, she says she needs a code from SMS, SMS does not come. Time 22h 10 min. the working day is over, so there is no SMS, you can pick up the phone only tomorrow. Aleksey, Alena tells me, since everything has been so long, the phone will work for you for a very long time, don’t worry, tomorrow they will call you, send an SMS, and you will pick up the phone, I will be there from 13.30. Well, I have no complaints, I think okay, anything can happen, we parted on a positive note. Tomorrow is coming, or rather Friday, they called me from the Know-How company, I explained the situation again, they sent me an SMS with a code, everything is fine! I arrive, one of the sellers immediately recognized me, the third day I already come to work)), I immediately took out a phone, a case and a Power bank. I printed out the invoices, and then the stopper, I ask what's the matter, he says the invoices are not ordinary printed out, we find out where to put the signatures. After about 20 minutes, a girl named Natalya called me to complete the documents, finally everything was completed, she gives me my set, I asked for a package, and asked me what kind of papers I should? Then again, waiting, figuring out how to print this or that document, all this time I have been patiently waiting! Well, that’s all, I want to say thank you, and Natalia says to me, Alexey, you know, you are not entitled to a Power bank gift, because you made the payment through the site, and not in the store, I almost collapsed from my chair! I could not believe my ears, I say call the director Alena, and she replies that it was Alena who told her! What decision did I make? We issue a refund, and Natalia and I processed the documents for another hour. Bottom line, this is the feeling when you were deceived, thrown, but this is a chain of stores under famous brand! I wish everyone not to be deceived, and to come in a great mood!!!

Oral testimonies of witnesses or the sellers themselves that the goods would have been bought in this particular store are also suitable. The claim is written in two copies, one of which remains with the buyer. On it, the employee who accepted the document puts his signature, indicates the date, his full name and position. This will protect the buyer in case the seller delays the return of money;

Replacing a mobile phone is legally possible even if 2 years have already passed since the date of purchase. Replacement is possible throughout the life of the device or within 10 years after purchase (if the service life is not specified). But then the disadvantage must be significant or irreparable. In this case, the claim is submitted not to the seller, but to the manufacturer or importer of the products. In case of a removable defect, the manufacturer is obliged to fix it free of charge within 20 days or transfer money for the phone.

Returning a smartphone of inadequate quality Returning a smartphone of inadequate quality allows art.

STD. If a smartphone was purchased that does not meet the quality requirements, then the buyer himself chooses what is more profitable and convenient for him to do:

exchange for the same or similar device;
force the seller to repair the smartphone or compensate for the cost of restoring it;
demand the return of a part of the amount previously paid, commensurate with the defects;
return the purchase to the store, having received the previously paid amount within 3 days.

Under the RFP, for most defective goods, the return period is not limited, but in the case of technically complex devices, which include a smartphone, the time for filing a claim should not exceed 15 days.

In what cases is it possible to return a smartphone to the store

However, it is the consumer himself who is obliged to prove that a significant defect arose during the assembly of the phone or before the moment of its purchase;

Return of technically complex goods Cell Phones belong to the category of technically complex goods, therefore, according to the law, they can be transferred to the seller without examination only in the first 2 weeks after purchase (if it turns out that you were sold a phone with a defect).

Return of goods within 14 days

To do this, it is necessary to be guided by articles 18 and 19 of the RFPO, according to which the return of goods of inadequate quality is possible during the entire warranty period.

If the specified terms are not established, then the return period is limited to 2 years, unless otherwise provided by the contract.
We will point out the most important points that should be followed when returning or exchanging goods:

Returning a mobile phone to a store

If the terms of the return were not specified in writing, then the refusal can be issued within 90 days from the date of receipt of the goods. Attention The list of technically complex goods for sale via the Internet is not valid. You can return a working phone within the specified time frame in the following cases:

the smartphone has not been used;
its properties and presentation are preserved;
there are documents confirming the purchase.

You cannot return a smartphone if it is made individually, only for you (there is a gift inscription, a special color or size is made).

In this case, no one will be able to use the phone except you, and article 26.1 prohibits its return.

In cases where a smartphone purchased through an online store turns out to be faulty, the procedure and terms for returning are no different from buying at a stationary outlet.

Returning a smartphone to the store in accordance with the law of the Russian Federation

If the warranty has already expired, then the buyer himself must organize an examination of the phone for the presence of a defect (if less than 2 years have passed since the date of purchase);

When the seller, as a result of the check, found out that the defect arose through the fault of the buyer, and he does not agree with this, the buyer has the right to appoint a new, paid examination.
If she confirmed the results of the store check, then the buyer pays for it (also the cost of storing the phone, its transportation).

Otherwise, based on the results of the examination, you can file a lawsuit against the seller (or attribute the results of the check to him and try to negotiate amicably);
Returning the phone is possible only after writing an application (claim) for a return, for which you will definitely need a passport.
Attaching a sales receipt to the application is desirable, but not required.

promo code- a combination of characters entered when making a purchase. In exchange, the buyer benefits from:

preferential price for goods;

You can return a mobile phone on the basis of Article 25 federal law"Consumer Protection". If the phone has significant flaws after purchase, you can return it to the store and demand a refund or exchange it for another phone.

To do this, you need to clearly know your rights. Many sellers take advantage of the legal illiteracy of buyers and deliberately mislead them.

Return low-quality phone possible within 14 days after purchase, excluding the day of sale. Moreover, a return is also possible when you have lost a sales or cash receipt. The phone must retain consumer properties, have a presentation, as well as factory seals and labels.

The topic of our article is the procedure for returning mobile phones to the store, the rules for communicating with sellers and the competent preparation of claims for returns.

Can I return a phone of good quality?

Ways to return a working phone to the store

There are several ways to return a high-quality mobile phone:

Agreement with the seller. If you want to return a working phone to the store, you should ask not for a refund, but for an exchange for another model. Not every seller will agree to return money for a quality phone, and the law will be on his side. Much more willing to accept an exchange. But it is better to talk about this with management, and not with ordinary sellers.

Asking to exchange a phone is worth it in large chain stores, in small retail outlets or in online stores, they are reluctant to meet the buyer. Communication with sellers should be built not in a begging or nervous tone, but in a restrained and respectful manner, demonstrating good knowledge question.

If the seller refuses to meet you, it makes sense to write to the store management. It specifies the specific reasons for the request. You can return the goods only in its perfect presentation, if you did not use it at all.

Management's refusal to satisfy the claim But when filing a claim, one must remember that now the court does not have a single position on whether a mobile phone is a complex or not complex technical product. The decision of the issue can be both in your favor and in favor of the seller.

A warning

Returning low-quality phones is a simple matter, it is enough to know a few basic rules:

set in 10 days after the claim.
It is possible to return a low-quality phone during the entire warranty period after the purchase, if a defect is found in it that cannot be eliminated or takes too long.
Some sellers may claim that the defect is insignificant and the phone cannot be returned based on the list of technically complex goods. But when returning low-quality goods, a different list applies - Art. 18 POZPP.
The procedure for returning the phone should be completed through a written claim with a signature on delivery, so that in case controversial situation Do you have documentary proof of your claims?
appointed by the seller, can be challenged in court if its results do not satisfy the buyer.
The warranty period assumes that the seller is obliged to prove the unlawfulness of the buyer's claims for return. If the warranty period has come to an end, the obligation to prove defects in the phone falls on the shoulders of the buyer.

The procedure for returning money or exchanging a low-quality phone is as follows:

If this is not enough, a written claim to the management is written. The store must respond to the application within 10 days.
After 10 days, the seller will either satisfy the return request or appoint an independent examination to find out the reasons for the marriage. If the examination proved that the fault is the buyer, the store will require the buyer to reimburse the costs of the procedure.
Doubts about the honesty of the examination lead to an additional examination, independent of the seller, or to challenging the results of the previous procedure in court. To file a claim with the court, you should prepare an application and attach documentary evidence of the transaction to it (checks, sales contracts, a copy of the claim, etc.).
The court decides in favor of the buyer or seller. If the consumer's claim is satisfied, he himself chooses the further development of events (exchange for another phone, refund or otherwise).

Attention

An alternative solution may be a written appeal about the violation of consumer rights Or filing an application with it along with a lawsuit in court.

The procedures for returning phones of good or bad quality differ significantly. Returning a phone within 14 days is much easier if it is defective. But in any case, contacting the judicial authorities or Rospotrebnadzor will help solve the problem.
