This is only a small percentage of the absolute shambles it has been dealing with them which as you can appreciate has been exasperated by the heat wave.

At this point the worst violence I could do to someone I don’t like is to treat them to an upgrade courtesy of Rite Price



I could've saved you the trouble, they were simply awful to deal with when i got my aircon, they put the bloody unit on my roof pretty much without asking me and then wanted to charge me to move it. so guess where the unit still is... just couldn't be bothered

iPrimus....Moved to a small country town for work. When looking up internet providers iPrimus had a deal $20 a month cheaper than all other providers. 8 months into a 2 year deal I received notification that the deal no longer was in place and that I would have to pay the normal rates and, the kicker, they were going to back charge me for the 8 months where I was on the deal. The reason - not enough people in the area took up the deal. I changed providers. They sent me a bill of $160 for the 8 prior months + $250 for early termination fee. It took a few hours of phone calls and ombudsman involvement for the issue to be rectified.

Started with 1 beer at work and escalated from there!

Couple at the ale house, but as it had the atmosphere of a morgue so ventured to the Albion, 2-3 hour session then to a tennis club to watch some tennis then back to someone's house where bottles of tequila come out :oops:

I’m looking at replacing my system with a ducted one. Can anyone recommend a hassle free service?

Gees, there's some serious breaches of law in there.
I use IPrimus and have never had a problem but I would have gone medieval on their ar$e if they had pulled that crap
Hopefully the ombudsman takes further action against them

Has anyone used viagogo?

There's some serious scalping going on there

I hope they realise the penalties in Australia

(Eg) In SA:
https://www.cbs.sa.gov.au/campaigns/ticket-scalping-laws-are-changing

37G—Restriction on ticket resale profit
A person must not sell a ticket to any other person for an amount that exceeds 110%
of the original supply cost of the ticket.
Maximum penalty:
(a) in the case of a body corporate—$100 000;
(b) in the case of a natural person—$20 000.
Expiation fee: $550.

I'll be fine, I've had my lips done.

They actually had some cheapish Origin tickets for sale the other day. I immediately thought Scam.
