WHAT TO DO IF YOUR ONLINE ORDER GETS ‘LOST’. Part Two.

In part I we told you about who your contract is with when you buy goods online. Now let us talk about your rights as a person buying goods online incase something (anything) does go wrong.

Here are must-know consumer rights if your delivery has not gone to plan:

1. If your order is late, missing or has turned up damaged we recommend that you complain to the retailer - even if you think it’s down to a poor service from the courier, because your contract is with the retailer.

2. If you paid extra for special delivery and your order arrived later than agreed you can claim back the extra delivery cost as the service was not delivered.

3. Be aware if you give permission for your delivery to be left in a specified safe place or received by a nominated neighbour and something goes wrong, you will still be considered to have received the delivery. Think very carefully about those options when you’re making a purchase.

4. If your order arrives damaged or faulty, you have a right to refuse it and get a refund, repair or replacement. Understand your next steps if your goods arrive damaged in the post.

5. Your delivery must be made without undue delay and within 30 days from the point of purchase unless you and the retailer agree otherwise.

Remember, those small words called “terms and Conditions’ are the terms of your contract so do not forget to read them. They may be the reason you cannot win your claim if they are against you.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...
