The commissioner had to threaten them when they initially failed to release the full set of documents he had sought.
Hopefully some of these crooks will be jailed to send a message to them all.

Aldi never cease to amaze me with the stuff they offer for sale.
I notice they are advertising a 6 tonne log splitter for $249.
Since when do supermarkets sell log splitters?
Incidentally, I excitedly told The Navigator about this log splitter and her response was, 'You're not buying more junk!'

They had a Plasma cutter the other day. But, since when does a supermarket sell TVs, Playstations, Google Home, 4WD accessories, dishwashers etc? Since Aldi, that's when.

I bought a Mesto meat slicer from Aldi.
A mate bought a 3D printer.
Their vegies are much better quality. Their pre packaging for their meats are a much better design.
Buy the log splitter. Let us know how you go.

No, won't be buying it. Not that brave.

I see the new royal baby went home in a D5, part of a column of LRs.

UK Aldi branches have an inclusive 3 year money back warranty on all major purchases.
Is that the same in Aus?

i feel disappointed. a supplier who i trusted has let me down.

i ordered my thing via a phone call 2 weeks ago. i was told that 1 component has a 3-4 week delay on it. I explained that I was going away in 2 weeks and to ship everything except the delayed component. I was told I should have it by friday 20th so I could install it that weekend.
on thurs 19th I called up to make sure my thing had been posted. I was told It hadnt been posted due to sickness. disappointing but people do get sick. I reaffirmed i was going away on the 26th and needed it before then. I was told it would be shipped on the friday or the monday using overnight shipping, and I would have it at worst on tuesday (today). as I dont have the weekend to install it myself, I booked in the auto electrician to install it tuesday afternoon.

My thing didnt arrive arrive today and the auto electrician is upset with me and now im upset and disappointed.
