You should expect services to be carried out with appropriate competency and skills, and completed to a reasonable standard.
For example, Jan had two painters provide quotes for some painting and wallpaper work. She chose her painter and the work was completed. Two weeks later she noticed bumps and lumps in the wallpaper, that she hadn’t noticed at the time the bill was paid.
With a faulty product, you can return it and ask for a repair, replacement or refund. But that’s not so easy with a service! But Jan’s story ended well, the painter came back and rectified the problem at no cost to Jan.

We have just found a grapefruit has been thrown through one of our windows. Found another on our front lawn and a few scattered down the footpath in both directions. We don't have a grapefruit tree neither do our neighbours so I'm not sure where they have come from. Was most likely just some kids being stupid. Has scared my son a little. Just wanting to know if anyone may have seen anything?
