Bad service from ITFOX Eastridge

Andrea from Mission Bay

After purchasing a new mobile phone i took it into ITFox-Eastridge | Experts in Phone, Macbook & iPhone to have the contacts and other stuff transferred onto my new phone with the above company.He told me the price and i paid after approx 15 mts. However when i got home the phone didn't function properly so took it back after explaining the issues. He told me next time i would have to pay,why should i when he didn't do the job correctly in the first place.Ended up taking the phone back where i brought it from and they fixed the problem and also told me ITFOX had minimal knowlege of this type of work.I went to ITFOX and told them what Harvey Norman told me and asked for a refund,he wouldn't give me one so i said i would write a review on Trustpilot and Neighbourly,he didn't care.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
