Is it legal for a website to say its not responsible for items lost in the mail ? -

under their shipping policies, they use royal mail and say that you can pay extra for it to be sent recorded and signed for, but if you were to pay the regular postage, and the items get lost, they are not responsible. Is that even legal? Why should we have to pay more for the postage, if an item does not arrive, should they as a retailer take it up with royal mail instead of telling the customer too bad ?

Well it s perfectly legal for them to say that, it just has no basis in reality:As Masked Landlord points out, the contract is between yourself and the seller, nothing to do with the courier, the seller is liable for breach of contract.If you want further reassurance distance selling regulation in the UK says that you have a legal right to receive your goods from the seller in a timely manner, usually interpreted as 30 days... no exemption like unless they get lost in the post or unless its the courier s fault, in which case you ll have to sort it out with them !

Yes, its legal.Once they ve paid for postage and the items have been dispatched, then its the responsibility of Royal Mail to deliver the goods. By paying extra for a recorded delivery you have an extra guarantee (from Royal Mail, not the vendor) that the goods will be delivered, and a better chance of tracking them down if they do go astray. If the disclaimer was clear on the website and you were given the option to buy the better service from Royal Mail, then the vendor really hasn t done anything wrong. Sorry.

I disagree with the other posters.If you pay a company a p p charge, then you are paying them for the delivery of the goods. If they do not deliver them, it is their responsibility. Who they choose to sub-contract that to is up to them. There are 2 contracts in this scenario1) You Seller2) Seller CarrierThere is no contract between you and carrier, so you have no rights in that respect.According to the Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumer Regulations 2002 the goods remain at the seller��s risk until they are delivered to the consumer.

no its not illegal, same when you go to a post office and send something out, you have to pay that litle bit extra for it to et to its destination 100%

Would this be a worth while venture? -

Hi guys,I am 21 years old and currently studying Business at college, i am doing the HNC now, plan to do HND next year and a further 2 years after that which is the Degree course. By this time, fingers crossed, i would have my qualifications and not even be 26.I have for the past 15 months worked in a local bingo hall, and did so when I was 17 also.I have been thinking alot recently about running my own bingo hall one day, i think running it in the town i live in would be great as there are plenty of residents in my town and the surrounding towns, but do you think this would be worthwhile? I would be looking to start up in roughly 10 years, before im 30 would be ideal? Is bingo dying away or does a hall just need the right management?Thanks :)

90% of bingo people are not on line people. will it last maybe, it kills time inexpensively offers a semi certain payback without high investment of time and money and old people need to be able to do something other than watch Lawrence Welk re-runs, go out to dinner at four thirty and shopping at the mall from 1:00pm - 3:30pm every day. is it something I would do? no is it something that makes you happy? can you make a decent living? only you would know.

I want to register an export-import firm in India on sole proprietorship basis. From where do i start? -

Do i need to have shop and establishment license from local municipal office before i apply for Import-Export Code.

Go directly to or call/email the India Embassy in Washington, DC. I m sure they get you in touch with the proper authorities!

I think you need to be licenced for that

How do i apply to get a free laptop off the goverment? -

can somebody please tell me how it works as i have looked all threw the pages an i can not find it

There may be programs like the guy above me has described - but they ae subsidized programs, NOT free.And you have to qualify because of your income, or family situation, or student status.So, the answer is there is nothing free. But you can get some help from programs if they exist.

Contrary to all the previous answers there IS such a scheme. It is run by the DCSF (a government department) and is aimed at low income families with childen in state education.I m not sure if it has actually started yet, but you will be able to apply for a grant, and if successful you will get a card similar to a credit card that will enable you to buy an approved computer from normal retailers.For more details you might want to start at: http://localauthorities.becta.org.uk/ind��

Why not just lease one. if it is for your business it will help build business credit.Contact me if you need additional information.The Govt should not be in the business of giving away free stuff. What ever it gives away it must take from someone else first.

LOL.....where on Earth did that goofy idea get in your head. If you want a computer that is paid for by the government, go WORK for the government. Sorry but the free government computer line is NOT right next to the government cheese line!

Write to Gordon Brown c/o 10 Downing street and ask him for one.As there is no such scheme then you have as much chance by doing the above as anything else.

afaik, there is no such program

YOU cannot GET a JOB online ! UNLESS YOUR willing to perform a task and that person pays YOU for doing that JOB !However YOU can join a Business and YOUR Job is to apply YOURSELF and do what they teach YOU to DO !BUT DO NOT spend MONEY to JOIN any such company ! Many are FREE and NO cost to JOIN and NO fees TO pay ever !YOUR only cost factor would be advertising and getting a website hosted and domain name! BUT many legit online biz s will provide with all the tools YOU need for FREE !EVEN if YOU cant make a website or BLOG they create one for YOU Because they only Make MONEY when YOU make MONEY ! Then YOU get duplication from a simple system for sucess TO teach YOUR people to DUPLICATE what YOU were taught to DO !THAT S YOUR JOB to Mentor YOUR people or GET them active with the training calls and support team as YOU guide them along !What I have is open to 13 yrs old and up. HEY I been doing this FOR Years 11 years now at home !
