Tom Chapman, Consumer Protection Officer in the Kimberley talks about Christmas advertising and promotions. Retailers must not mislead us with their advertising, yet it’s important to read the small print in the “up to X% off” and “buy one get one free” promotions. Check what’s rung up at the checkout, and keep your receipts. Gift cards now come with protection against expiry and can be used over multiple purchases. Your consumer rights cover purchases from those engaging in trade but not from individual sellers – make sure you know the difference. Listen to hear details about all these items.
