Redress us a remedt to a problem. As a consumer you have the right to expect a business to work with you to resolve the problem. You might get your money back, or get it repaired, or some other compensation. Here's how to go about this situation.

Take the product back to the store where you bought it. Calmly explain what happened, be specific and give evidence. Retain all warranties, sale receipts, and related material. Be firm, but not angry. Say you are dissatified and why.

If you are not satisfied with the remedy write a complain to the store's owner. If you are still not satisfied, go to the manufacturer or distributor and state your complaint. Describe what happened to you before and why you were dissatisfied with everything else.

As a last resort, seek legal recourse. For small cases the sums are usually $2,000-$5,000. Small claim courts are a much faster process and less expensive because attorneys are not required. You must pay filing feww and appear to court on date.

Understand sale terminology

Sale means that goods are offered for sale, but not necessarily at reduced prices. Clearance means the merchants wants to clear out all the advertised products, but not necessarily at reduced prices.

Compute unit prices and total cost

Buying things in bulk may be a better buy for your buck.
