Repair Cafe Rugby<p>Much as we love repairing things at the Repair Cafe, sometimes there is another option (specifically if you're in the UK). If the item is faulty then your consumer rights will kick in and you might be able to get the manufacturer or retailer to give you a new one. The great part about this is that often you don't have to return the old item and so you can still bring this along to us to get fixed. If you don't need two of these then you an usually donate one to someone who needs it. Whatever you decide to do the best thing to do is make sure that you know your consumer rights.</p><p>Martin Lewis at Money Savings Expert can tell you more about these...</p><p><a href="https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/consumer-rights-refunds-exchange/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/</span><span class="invisible">consumer-rights-refunds-exchange/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ConsumerRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConsumerRights</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Repair</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/RepairCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RepairCafe</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> @repaircafe</p>

Charlie McHenry<p>American Airlines Cuts JFK Moving Walkway — Because You Spend More When You Struggle - this is exactly what I mean when I point out that over the years business has become more and more predatory. All business. From subscriptions, limited ownership rights, right-to-repair, you name it. Corporations are after our $$, our data, and our lives.
