I took reciept of a Dell monitor damaged in shipping when working for an IT service desk years ago, the screen had clearly been damaged all down the middle and the panel was horribly smeared. The clue that it was damaged in shipping was the boot print on the outside of the box which had cleared all the way through. Sadly there was no recourse with the shipping company (now defunct) as that was for whom I worked at the time.
WTF? Pay £19.99 'so your monitor is ready to use...'

I don't understand why that is a reason not to buy the monitor there - you just don't get the add-on.

Just a general principle of not supporting businesses who try to rip people off.

So you pay them £19.99, and in return they ensure that the goods you have purchased are fit for purpose and of the merchantable quality that they should be anyway...?
Yeah, right.
Yeah, right.

You can pay for laptops etc, to have someone click the buttons on Window's final set up to make it 'ready' to go !

I think the important phrase to remember is "Your statutory rights are unaffected".
This simply a ploy to suck in the gullible or ignorant.

I'm not sure what the big deal is. I'm wondering where the option to choose shoe protection and wet westhe protection is. Wait what?
