Re: I never quite understood why one would get a bundle
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that...
...if you buy a bundle, the carrier is extending you credit and so you are covered by the Consumer Credit Act in the UK (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1974/39/contents). This can actually be quite useful to consumers who experience issues with their goods as it extends additional legal cover to consumers. This act is also the reason why some consumer organisations recommend buying large purchases with a credit card and then paying the balance off ASAP.
Either way, whether bought outright or on credit as part of a bundle, I believe the goods must be fit for purpose and not break before a reasonable time period (whatever that may be).
BTW, (again, correct me if I am wrong, but) this act and the Sale of Goods Act trump any manufacturer, vendor or carrier guarantees, terms or conditions. They are statutory and cannot be negotiated away. They are enshrined in law. They are a beacon of hope in the wilderness of consumer despair. Etc.
