No where in this story does it mention them going to their local consumer affairs offices to force umart to honour the warranty. I hope they did, I would hate to see them get off without legal repercussions.

Yeah I’d have been involving the ACCC from a very early stage.

Another lesson here is to pull out the camera and get some evidence before you give the part back too.

This shits me because I’ve always viewed Umart as a good place to get stuff from. I’m really annoyed with them over this.
