Yesterday(28/12/2011)I bought a thermos flask at Kamindi Supermarkets in Kiambu town only to discover it could not keep water hot through-out;as I found today morning ice-cold water in it!I decided to return it today(29/12/2011)only to be told that,"sorry,we cannot exchange it.After all you bought it at your own risk!"

And just like that my money went down the drain!

Dear Wazuans what options do I have?Sad

Ati ulinunua flask wapi? There is a reason why the same flask will be a few shillings more expensive at Uchumi, Nakumatt, Chandarana et al. This is because the premium they charge includes some insurance for cases like yours.

Buy consummables from backwater shops, durables from respected chains.

All is not lost though, you can use the flask to store iced teasmile Happy holidays pal!!!

Was there a disclaimer somewhere, even on the shelves? If there isnt, zusha, demand to see the manager. That said, supermarkets, even megachains like nakumatt have their listing of non-returnable items.

Did you test the flask before buying? I normally see people opening the cap and putting the flask to their ear to listen to the inside. I don't know what sound one is supposed to hear inside for a working flask. Weird! Does this test have any scientific basis?
