Chookie has a big heart, Jacq.  We are lucky to have her as a forum friend and adviser.

Not really Marina,  I just know how I would feel.  Not a good way to start with such a fab machine.

Thanks Chookie your offer is beyond generous.

I think you epitomize the basis of this forum, so glad I found it & my second family.

Hope that this issue resolves itself really quickly Shannon - I am with all who think a new machine is in order.  Have you tried jumping up and down with HO?  :(

Shannon I think I would be very $%#&**$# off. How very disappointing for you and it is certainly not a good advertisement for the TMX.

Oh Shanmac. So sorry for you.  :'( I know how excited you were and then to have the rug pulled out from under you is just awful.  Hope that you are up and running again soon. Big Hugs

I suspect Head Office would prefer to ignore us over here. We might be a bit of a thorn in their side.

I know Tenina often looked in on the Forum as she often responded when I made a critical remark.  However ,  I must say she was pretty good about the criticism.

Well I have just packed up  sent off my little baby for it's trip back to be fixed or replaced (not sure which).

My consultant rang & said that HO had told her to invite me to her next cooking class free of charge. AWWWWW all I really want is a product that I pay nearly 2K for to work for more than 1 day!!!

Have tried to stay calm but now I feel a bubble of being p#$%ed off starting! 10 dfays it yokk me 2 years to get it!!

Anyway enough of my ranting - thanks again for all the love, really appreciate it.

Can totally understand that frustration Shan.   :-\

I do so hope it's a speedier trip than anticipated!!

Good luck!!  :)

 :) Ho should have a courtesy machine, ready to be shipped anywhere in Australia.
With airfreight you can have it the next day.

That way, your machine gets fixed, and when you get it back, or replaced, you send the loan one back.

that is called customer service... ;D    Wouldn't that look good for consultants to say. ( We'll loan you another while it gets fixed....)

I suppose that;s why our business does so well, we excel in customer service.
