I assume anyone who knows how to use the internet to shop online is also capable of taking pictures and videos, which have been around longer than the internet has.

And here is the answer to your original question. You assume to much. :person_facepalming:

+ 1 …. oh well, he must have forgetten people here belong to different generations.

+2 on that. I lived through that with my parents. They were around the new technology at the time, but they just didn’t care enough to get it.

Wow it’s almost as if you’re trying to use the “too old to use new technology” excuse!
Maybe it would help if I pointed out that people from other generations are capable of using cameras?
I know my parents and grandparents are capable of it…

Point is, if for some reason you’re incapable of using a (not even that new) technology to get a product refund, such as a digital camera, then that’s your fault.
Adapting and learning to use technology is normal, you can’t blame other people if you refuse to use it yourself.

If you go try to get a drivers license and don’t have a phone number or email because you’re still living in 1850, guess what? They’re not gonna give you a drivers license.

You either do what the retailers asks of you, or you don’t get your refund. Simple. you agreed to the terms and conditions when you started browsing the site.

Enderman, not to be disrespectful, but you need to take a chill pill here. You come across abrasively at times. It’s like you’re looking for a fight. No one here wants to fight with you, so please just enjoy the forum without posting combative comments.

Really? You must have missed the previous dozen comments from other forum members then.

Trust me, I’ve seen you in action many times

Capable of using cameras, yes, universally…but does your grandparents and parents also are capable of uploading videos to the internet?

If they can, then my I’ll be damned for not knowing to upload a video for someone who just turned a senior citizen. ( I have to ask my son to do it for me, btw)

@teacher

Believe it or not, some people… whether limited by circumstance as in Ollie’s case or not caring to participate as in the case of my two friends…… have or want no part of the technological advances of “2017”.

So I simply leave you with what I said earlier… quoted below.

@teacher

Yeah, the technology is sure here in 2017…… but there are still a few who basically want no part of it.

Ok, but as you can see, in some cases you are required to be able to take pictures if you want a product replacement, that’s simply how it works.
You can disagree all you want but that’s not going to make a manufacturer change their mind about their return policies…
If someone doesn’t like it, there’s always the option of buying from other stores or simply not buying online.

It’s not unreasonable to ask for pictures or the product or ask for the product to be destroyed before a replacement is sent out.
Just like it’s not unreasonable to give a phone number and email when signing up for services or getting something like a drivers license.
In order to get certain things in society you are required to have certain technological competence.
.
PS - I love the circlejerk around here, it’s hilarious, some people making indirect insults rather than acknowledging they’re wrong or trying to back up their points.
I’m glad at least you know how to make decent counterpoints and logical arguments.

I hate to tell you, you are the definition of circlejerk. I suggest you look in the mirror. Look real deeply. What do you see?

May I suggest you ask the admin to cancel your account? You’d be doing us all a favor

P.S. I got a rude point against me…. poor poor me… I wonder who did it? lol!

Here is how it works:
A) take image
B) connect camera to computer
C) click “reply to email” on the email sent by the manufacturer/retailer asking you to send an image
D) click the attachment button at the bottom of the email and add your pictures
E) send the email

My parents would be able to figure it out, my grandparents don’t know how to shop online.
Typically shopping online is a more difficult process than emailing pictures. Yes my grandparents know how to email pictures.
If not they would probably reply back to the email saying “I don’t know how to do that” and then the manufacturer/retailer would explain the above 5 steps.

I’ve only heard of manufacturers asking for pictures, never videos. You can’t attach videos in an email unless they’re extremely small.

@Ollie

It’s 2017 where you are; it’s 1960 here. My last smartphone lives in a drawer. When I retired, I discovered that the cell service where I live sucks. After much talk to AT&T tech, they sent me emails detailing the work orders on my nearest cell tower. Problem was, they had no intention of fixing it in the next 6-12 months. What happens is that the tower goes offline to my location. When that happens, your phone tries to pick up another tower. While it’s doing that, it is devouring your battery. It eats the battery in much less than a day. The old trick of calling your cell from your landline won’t work, if you misplace it. The final straw was finding out that when your phone is in this condition, it won’t accept voicemails. Effectively you just fall off the face of the Earth.

As for broadband, there is none. No DSL, no FIOS, nothing but dishes, which are not all that reliable here, either. So it’s dialup, period. I can’t even order from Mtn. from here! I have to grab one of my tablets and hit somebody’s Wi-Fi. Oddly enough, Amazon works.

When I moved here 35 years ago, none of this was a factor. But 9 of my dogs are buried here, and I hope to live out my life here. There are technological complications in 2017 that can make things tedious. This may change soon, or may not.

Have you looked into internet via satellite?
Before we went looking for houses in France I checked it and it was not extremely expensvie. ONly real drawback, there is a 2sec delay, so for online gaming a big no no, for normal use not a problem.
thin it is $50 a month in the US.
with the right gear one should be able to use it on holidays like camping too

People please. Perhaps we should all pause a bit… Just let this go… And get back to the topic whenever we’re ready.

I love you all! :sunglasses:

[hIKARInoob]

My goodness… Imagine what would happen if this continues, and everyone gets rude… and ruder… And people are getting banned… and banned…
And in the end the only remaining member is Banggood…
And then Banggood, as the only member, posts here on this thread:

“haha!”

I still have the same friends since the late 1950’s. What does that say about me personally?

It takes a lot for the nicest people on this forum try to set you straight. This forum is for adults and well behaved children, neither pertains to you. Can’t say I hate to see you go. The thing that tickles me the most is you won’t be able to get a BLF GT. LOL

The only VCR I have is in the closet right now is a JVC Super VHS recorder/player. I haven’t used in years. It might have 100 hours on it at most. I’ll give it away for free if someone locally is willing to pick it up. I will not ship it. I live in Huntington Station, NY, a few blocks north of Jericho Turnpike.

Well this thread has escalated quickly.

FWIW, I have had to be refunded for 3 out of my last 9 orders from Banggood. Two of them never arrived and one of them was faulty and not as described. However in all 3 cases I have had the refund issued within 4 days of me first bringing it to their attention which I think is pretty good CS on their behalf.

Also, without trying to stir the pot I tend to agree with some of the comments surrounding the photos. If you are happy enough to make online purchases from stores all over the globe, and then happy enough to file a PP dispute or claim a refund if there is a problem with said order, having the skill to take a photo and email it should be a given. If you can learn to shop online you can learn to send photos via email. I have had to do this in the past, including destroying items and sending dated photos as proof that I had done so in order to get a replacement item sent.
