Terms & Conditions - 7 day old phone

<p>I bought a cell phone at Edgars Connect on the 27th of Feb for my sisters birthday which was on the 5th of March. Yesterday, (06.03.2017) the phone started giving us problems (the one button doesnt want to work). Phone this morning, the tell me they can only help me by sending the phone away which could take 21 WORKING days. Brand new phone and its a few hours over the "7 day" return period or whatever they call it. According to the consumer act of 2008, you have 10 working days to rertun the product and get a refund. I'm horrified that Edgars can only guarantee their products for exactly 7 days. Not even 7 working days. Phoned their head office, literally about 10 times, only to get cut off each time. So now im stuck with a phone that is half working and a very unhappy kiddie who just wanted a decent phone. Love the level of service help these days.</p> <p> </p>
