My cryptocurrency earnings helped me buy a fridge but it wasn't all that simple

Everyone who has ever used or simply uses cryptocurrencies for their lives surely knows how great it is to be able to buy or pay something with their earnings from the famous digital currencies.

For me, a part of what I earn in all my investments in crypto I exchange for FIAT. It was then that I used this money to help buy my new refrigerator since the old one I gave to my mother.

Everyone knows that home appliances are things that we must research well and it is very important to pay attention to any detail because if you miss something, it may harm you in the future.

It was then that I decided to buy my refrigerator for the new house and I made sure that it arrived before the day of the move because the two-day deadline was met and finally it arrived. As a determination of the vendor, he advised me to observe anything wrong in the refrigerator before I could sign the document.

That's what I did and to my unpleasant surprise, the refrigerator was not fixed on the floor, I noticed that it swings a lot when opened and the delivery men showed me that on the bottom there was a regulator and promptly one of them "tried" to adjust and nothing made the refrigerator stay still... I even said it could be the floor (?) so I decided to sign and dispatch the deliverers.

In doing so it seems like it was magic ... I started to repair defects in the refrigerator and yes, defects in the plural. The curious thing is that I was on the lookout for any changes that I could see in the refrigerator and not allowing the couriers to leave it at home. It was then that my wife came home from work and saw the crushed refrigerator foot.

Everyone knows that the woman has a more clinical look and honestly ... I thought it was a refrigerator design. To make matters worse I looked on the right side for a horrible corrosion hole in the refrigerator's enamel. Imagine how my wife was when she saw that her refrigerator didn't come as she wanted?

To make matters worse I was deceived, because the delivery men acted in bad faith with me because one of them bent down to "regulate" the refrigerator's foot so that it would stop swinging and if it were someone honest I would say at that moment that the regulator was wrinkled. I saw that problem later.

If I had paid more attention I would not accept this refrigerator at all and would require them to take it with me in order to receive one in excellent condition. That same day my wife and I went to the store where we bought it and passed the problem on to the manager, who gave me a period of up to 7 days for the refrigerator to be changed.

So that was when my saga started, imagine having to spend days and days using a Styrofoam box and having to spend almost every day shopping so as not to spoil any food left over ...

During the 7-day period, I got a call from the refrigerator seller and to my frustration he told me that a new period would be counted that day, to make matters worse I now had to wait another 13 days. That was absurd! Do not want to know what my wife thought of all this.

We have already started to think about reporting this abuse at PROCON, an organ that we consumers can have some support here in Brazil, but because of other problems that we were solving, there was never an ideal time to go, but that this week we agreed that this would not pass .

To my surprise I had a call and it was from the new delivery person to change the refrigerator and the curious fact is that in the last call, the manager had allowed us to use the refrigerator. It was at least a relief and the least they could do. So imagine the feeling of happiness I had today!

I removed some things that were in the crushed refrigerator and went to check the condition of the new refrigerator. I didn't want to falter again. I looked from head to toe and found nothing wrong. I was finally able to receive something expensive that would not disappoint me, but the main part for this new refrigerator was missing, how it would behave when turning on.

I waited for 1 hour so I could call and I confess that I was a little scared (lol) because I didn't want to have to go through all the complaint precedence again because it is beyond boring, very stressful.

Luckily the refrigerator turned on normally and you know what I'm going to do? A surprise for my wife. Soon she will be released from her job and when I get here the children and I have already agreed that we will not say anything about changing the refrigerator. I want to see now if she will notice something different, although now the night may be more difficult but it will be very funny to see if she will not notice anything.

I know that sometimes these things happen not only with a refrigerator, but with anything else that we want to acquire. Unfortunately, I was another buyer who entered the statistics of having this "headache" but despite the unpleasant situation, I was able to acquire some experience. This is how we also learn to deal with life's adversities.

Is that you? Has something similar happened? I hope my next purchase with cryptocurrencies will give me luck, but I believe I will be more attentive to these types of things.

Versão em português


Todos que utilizaram alguma vez na vida ou simplesmente usam constantemente as criptomoedas para a sua vida com certeza sabem da grande satisfação que é poder comprar ou pagar algo com os seus ganhos das famosas moedas digitais.

Para mim, uma parte do que ganho em todos os meus investimentos em cripto eu troco por FIAT. Foi então que usei esse dinheiro para ajudar a comprar minha geladeira nova já que a antiga eu dei para a minha mãe.

Todos sabem que eletrodomésticos são coisas que devemos pesquisar bem e é muito importante está atento a qualquer detalhe pois se você deixar passar algo, poderá te prejudicar no futuro.

Foi então que decidi comprar a minha geladeira para a casa nova e fiz tudo para ela chegar antes do dia da mudança pois o praz o prazo de dois dias foram cumpridos e finalmente ela chegou. Como determinação do vendendor, me aconselhou observar qualquer coisa de errado na geladeira antes que eu pudesse assinar o documento.

Foi o que fiz e para minha desagradável surpresa, a geladeira não ficava fixa no chão, percebi que ela balanla muito ao abrir e os entregadores me mostraram que na parte debaixo havia um regulador e prontamente um deles "tentou" ajustar e nada fazia a geladeira ficar imóvel.. Disse até que poderia ser o chão (?) então eu resolvi assinar e despachar os entregadores.

Ao fazer isso parece que foi uma magia... comecei a reparar os defeitos na geladeira e sim, defeitos no plural. O curioso é que eu estive atento por qualquer alteração que eu pudesse ver na geladeira e não permitir que os entregadores deixassem ela em casa. Foi então que minha esposa chegou do trabalho e viu o pé da geladeira amassada.

Todos sabem que a mulher tem um olhar mais clínico e sinceramente... pensei que fosse algum design da geladeira. Para piorar olhei no lado direito um buraco horrível de corrosão do esmalte da geladeira. Imaginem como minha esposa estava quando olhou que sua geladeira não veio como queria?

Para piorar fui enganado, pois os entregadores agiram de má fé comigo pois um deles se abaixou para "regular" o pé da geladeira para que ela parasse de balançar e se fosse alguém honesto diria naquele momento que o regulador estava amassado. Foi o que vi tempos depois esse problema.

Se eu tivesse prestado mais atenção eu não aceitaria de forma alguma essa geladeira e exigiria que eles a levassem para eu receber uma em ótimas condições. Nesse mesmo dia eu e minha esposa fomos até a loja onde compramos e passei todo o problema para o gerente, o mesmo me deu um prazo de até 7 dias para que a geladeira pudesse ser trocada.

Então foi a partir disso que minha saga começou, imaginem ter que ficar dias e dias usando uma caixa de isopor e ter que ficar quase todo dia fazendo compras para não estragar nenhum comida que sobrasse...

Durante o prazo de 7 dias, tive uma ligação do vendedor da geladeira e para minha frustração ele me disse que naquele dia iria ser contado um novo prazo, para piorar agora tive que esperar mais 13 dias. Isso foi um absurdo! Não queiram saber o que minha esposa achou disso tudo.

Já começamos a pensar em denunciar esse abuso no PROCON, orgão que nós consumidores podemos ter algum amparo aqui no Brasil, mas por causa de outros problemas que estávamos resolvendo nunca dava tempo ideal para irmos, mas que nessa semana nós concordamos que isso não iria passar.

Para minha surpresa tive uma ligação e era do novo entragador para trocar a geladeira e o fato curioso é que na ultima ligação, o gerente havia permitido que nós pudéssemos utilizar a geladeira. Foi pelo menos um alívio e o mínimo que eles poderiam fazer. Então imaginem a sensação de felicidade que tive hoje!

Retirei algumas coisas que estavam na geladeira amassada e fui conferir as condições da geladeira nova. Não queria vacilar novamente. Olhei dos pés a cabeça e não encontrava nada de errado. Finalmente consegui receber algo caro que não me desapontasse, mas faltava a parte principal para essa nova geladeira, como ela se comportaria ao ligar.

Esperei o prazo de 1 hora para que eu pudesse ligar e confesso que fiquei meio com medo (lol) pois não queria ter que passar por todo o precedimento de reclamação de novo pois é além de chato, muito estressante.

Felizmente a geladeira ligou normalmente e sabem o que irei fazer? Uma surpresa para a minha esposa. Em breve ela irá ser liberada do seu trabalho e ao chegar aqui em casa eu e as crianças já combinamos de que não iremos falar nada sobre a troca da geladeira. Quero ver agora se ela irá perceber algo de diferente, apesar de que agora a noite pode ser mais difícil mas será bem engraçado ver se ela não vai perceber nada.

Sei que às vezes essas coisas acontecem não só com geladeira, mas com qualquer outra coisa que desejamos adquirir. Infelizmente fui mais um comprador que entrei na estatística de ter essa "dor de cabeça" mas apesar da situação desagradável, pude adquirir alguma experiência. É assim que aprendemos também a lidar com as adversidades da vida.

E você? Já aconteceu algo parecido? Espero que minha próxima compra com criptomoedas me dê mais sorte, mas acredito que estarei mais atento para esses tipos de coisa.

It's sad how often these vendors of large home appliances take advantage of consumers because they know we don't really have a lot of recourse but to either keep the defective unit... OR go to a lot of trouble and inconvenience to get it put right. If they had good ethics, they should be returning the units to the factory before sending to end users...

Sorry you had such a long "journey" with your new refrigerator!

=^..^=

You are absolutely right, these companies are already well accustomed to this situation and we consumers are left with the headache. But the important thing is that it served as a learning experience and that I already received my new refrigerator :)

Oh, I am so sorry about the problem you encounter while purchasing your refrigerator with your cryptocurrency. You sure did spend a lot on that refrigerator I am sure of it so you need the best, one in good shape and not some faulty device.
I am glad you got a call to change the refrigerator before the case went more serious than it already was.
And I am sure if the new one had faults as well your wife would have been so disappointed 😂🤭 you don't need to tell us, I know how ladies are most times so I am glad the new one was in good shape lol :)

Thanks! I don't even want to imagine what my wife would think if the other refrigerator saw a defect lol.

The experience in buying with cryptocurrency was the best possible, as it is satisfying to be able to buy something with your earnings in the digital world. I hope that very soon many more people will have the same feeling.

In Nigeria here, changing such things can even be difficult, I'm glad at the end you found a solution. Consumers are sometimes not protect enough because the sellers isn't under any strict law to actually satisfy them. Cheers by the way.

This is true, I believe that anywhere in the world the entire consumer should be respected in the best way. I know that these situations can happen, but regardless of the way the consumer has become, his right will always be preserved.

Vida fudida... mas aprendemos bué com os erros. Infelizmente... Adorava fazer como o estreminador em fazer download de qualquer coisa que precisasse aprender e depois era só usar esse conhecimento.

Knowledge is everything we can carry in our lives without needing anyone else. But it is necessary that from time to time we can learn from mistakes as well.
