Media Markt in Los Barrios

Yesterday on my way home from a meeting in Algeciras, I stopped off at the Los Barrios shopping area to check out the new Media Markt that's just opened.

Well, I thought I'd walked into gadget-man's idea of heaven. The place is huge and with loads of choice of everything from digital cameras to PCs and TVs. There's also all the more geeky stuff like PC add ons and networking products.

I came out of there in a daze. I could have spent a fortune if I hadn't practised some self restraint.

We've always been lacking a decent electronics store nearby and finally it seems that we have one. Let's just hope it stays that way.

Warning about MediaMarkt scam.

E-Care ref 538008

I Purchased a 42 inch Toshiba TV from MediaMarkt in Belgium and it went wrong so under the guarantee I asked for the TV to repaired and contacted E-Care in Antwerp who then picked the TV up some two weeks later.

After several more weeks I contacted E-Care who said they could not get the parts to repair the TV and would send a credit note to MediaMarkt so that I could go and get myself a new TV and since the credit note was ‘In the post’ and I had been without a TV for two months I paid a deposit for a new TV.

Day after day I contacted MediaMarkt to ask if the credit note had arrived so that I could pick my new TV up only to be told the credit note had not arrived and that they were chasing it up.

Today some ten weeks later I am still without a TV and have been told that the parts to fix the TV have arrived and I will be getting my old TV returned some time later this week.

Clearly E-Care and MediaMarkt have been telling Lies and using me as pig in the middle and have failed to provide a reasonable service in taking far too long to fix and return my TV and using deceit as a delaying tactic.

Does anyone know the legal position on this ?

I would avoid both companies unless you like being scammed like me.
