Quite a rant coming up.
Went to buy this lamp at Bunnings today.
http://www.bunnings.com.au/brilliant-11w-30cm-mara-desk-lamp_p4370509
They had it in ******* purple and pink. What a joke. The display model was grey, which is what I wanted, but they couldn't give it to me cos they didn't have the globe. Went and looked at Big W and Harvey Norman. SFA there.
Come home and jump on ebay and find this
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Oriel-Li...?pt=AU_Lighting_Fans&var=&hash=item2332b36580
It is IDENTICAL bar the brand. First is Brilliant and this one Oriel.
So I send a message to them saying
"
This is $34 at Bunnings.
I will buy it for that price if you're willing to sell."
They reply with
"
Hi
Thank you for your enquiry.
Bunnings does not stock Oriel products, so the product you saw there is may be similar but is not of the same quality.
We offer customers the convenience of not having to leave their homes to do their shopping, and in today's environment where time is valuable to consumers our prices are actually cheaper than Bunnings when you consider the fact we deliver for free to your door. As such, we do not price match with physical stores.

So I send back
"
It is the same product with a different name, literally identical.

Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining.
You either take my money or you don't. "
