In small claims cases you always aim high.. because the judge is always going to knock it down... very rarely do people get the FULL amount they are asking for unless it's a renter vs landlord where back rent is owed or a case along those lines.. if it's a customer vs business the judge usually tries to find a balance that's fair to both parties.

If he paid for expedited service and received no indication you gave this (you didn't contact him within 8 days to say you'd looked and it was unfixable) the fact he had to chase it after 4 weeks gives every indication no expedited service was given. He was correct in refusing the 50% offer because of this. The rest is his problem if he didn't accept a full refund.

I went to small claims court once because a guy driving a company van hit my car in an accident. He apologized profusely at the scene because it was clearly his fault. Gave me all his details and comply details and said I must contact company and their insurance. So I submitted all my details to their insurance and a couple days go by they get back to me and say they’re declining to pay because apparently according to the driver I hit him. I was upset but I said f**k this and took his boss to small claims court. Told the story and owner didn’t even put up resistance, said he would pay but it was annoying as hell having to through the whole procedure. I hope the dishonest driver lost his job

Countersuits are a thing, I would've countersued for my hourly rate for every second I could, including driving to and from the courthouse. I too am a business owner and have done just that. As you said, try to make it right, and make it right in writing. If you can show you made a good faith attempt to satisfy the customer and they still want to sue, you are well within your rights to make it right for yourself. Just an example, I was sued for $500 for shoddy work done by the shop before they came to me, I documented everything and when sued, I also documented every minute I had to deal with the matter at my billing rate of $150/hr. The plaintiff was surprised when the judgment was $3000 FOR ME. Funny how fast things add up over every phone call, time to fill out forms, driving in traffic, waiting for the case to be called etc.

Thus you are left with a regular scheduled workload and you have the ability to work to scope as you are dealing with a managed work schedule. Just a thought.

Tip for everyone bringing phones to repair anywhere "official" (brands or authorized repairs etc), always backup your stuff before (if you can) because chances are your device will be factory reset as a procedure to eliminate the possibility of it being a software problem, it's how it's done and even if it's something as simple as a screen replacement, a battery replacement, we are told to factory reset the phone, which in my opinion is a really bad practice because we use the secure boot menu to do it and this can lock the phone requiring the google or apple id of the previous user to unlock (in case of android or apple) and this sometimes can be a problems because many people use dummy accounts or someone elses email or have no acess to their email anymore etc etc, so be aware of your data when you send your phone for repair
@PanCakesAreFat
@PanCakesAreFat 8 ай бұрын
Google, Apple and Samsung require the device to be factory reset for 2 reasons. Privacy of data and to ensure the issue isn't software based (i.e. 3rd party apps, corrupted updates). Privacy of data is a no brainer as no one wants their data in the hands of someone you don't know or never seen before. If you have to send the device off, they have lists or things you have to do and one of them the phone has to be wiped and unlocked before they will touch the device. No exceptions. Apple now requires you to sign out of the Apple account before wiping the phone. As with Samsung and Google. So you need to know your password to the account or the device is potentially bricked. Samsung and Apple have ways to bypass the Factory Reset Protection.

Its absolutely unfair that they don’t last longer or get repaired for free. After all, the customer has no control over the hardware. So some take out their anger at you instead of suing Apple or Samsung. Its really a scam by those companies that they don’t stand behind their product.

Despite you were totally in your right, you swallowed your pride, put the ego aside and offered the guy a full refund! that's just a class act!!! thank you man for sharing your ideas, and thought process and I hope we can all learn from this. sometimes its just better to call it day, sort it out, take the loss and start fresh tomorrow. what i really hope is that the guy who sued you learned something of this... this was.. well what can i say? still.. it annoys me the guy gets a full refund. not the money or time you have wasted, but doesn't this create a precedent to always go to small court and ask for full refund? why didn't the judge looked better into your shipment details, communication with client etc etc?

Keep up the good work, NorthRidgeFix, it's USA, everybody can sue everbody else, move to Canada where you paid a visit. Canada is like Norway (where I'm from), no healthinsurance, cheaper everything. With your following you've got no problem making the same in Canada❤️

This is why in Finland we have customer protection that's top notch and readily in the law. There are complaint officials etc. who will deal with the minor stuff for free (for both parties) and it's rare that people go to court over minor stuff. Get something like that in the USA... oh right, you can't because lawyers would be out of a job!

What Ryan did was outright wrong and I'm glad you won the case. BUT I think you should have put on hold the option for expedited service while you were in the process of moving.

At one time, there were vocational electronics schools that prepared students to work as a repair technician, sadly, many of those jobs and schools have disappeared. Perhaps you can find an employee at a local community college.

Sadly the law seems to be set up to protect the low lifes in society. And if you think of a business model Lawyers need the riff raff to make money. As you say with people playing games you need to step up, get in their face and never look like a pushover.

Alex is right about "dress for success." It reminded me of a situation one of my law lecturers described that she was involved in. Her law firm had been instructed to defend a young guy who'd been accused of rape. After reviewing the evidence, she believed him to be guilty and refused to take on the case despite the firm's partners insisting that she do. He was acquitted and she believed that it was entirely because of how they were dressed. He was dressed smartly for court and from a well-off family, she was poorer and dressed in a short skirt, while showing too much cleavage. She had no idea how to dress for court.

I'm definitely one of those people you made mad. Expedited service meant you'd maybe look at it in a month and then after 6 weeks send it back. Cry all you want, the fix was simple. Tell me you wouldn't be able to honor the expedited service at all, don't work on it and send me my check back.

I thought Alex and north ridge was a good business from all the videos, until I sent in my series x. Lack of communication and good business ethics I’m surprised he hasn’t been sued more by people. I actually had to threaten him with going to court when he sent me console back without an hdmi port and took my hdmi retimer chip off my console ( a chip he had already replace and I paid parts and labor for. I also waited a month and a half to have it looked at after paying the expedited fee. You can try to get ahead of the customer by calling him out like you’ve done nothing wrong but I know and others know your KZbin videos are just smoke for how your business actually runs.

I dont know why everybody here is siding with Alex, the obvious truth is that Ryan paid for expedited service but has not been informed about his device's status for almost a month and this procedural error should automatically grant him full refund, doesnt it?

When I had a service center (small business) we experienced the same as you. Our partners decided not to charge an expedite fee. I worked 72 hours no sleep to finish the customers devices. It was really difficult for me. I received plenty of negative comments. We were a new business trying to get authorized service and parts. We got duped from different manufacturers. We had to jump through a lot of hoops to get accepted to purchase parts. When the proof came we were denied purchasing and diverted to another shop. Which we paid and the other shop took our parts for their shop.

A very good and direct video on what should be done. People just sue for the sake of expecting to get something out of nothing these days where they have no certainty or proof and just want to waste everyone's time. Believing you will win Vs knowing the truth are two totally different aspects of what outcome will occur. Thankyou for sharing your case as this will be helpful for me but on a very different level in court. Best of luck with your provided services and hope the work load evens out so you don't have to do soo many hours.
