Production marriage is called retail products, which, due to a certain fault of production, do not comply with the given quality standards. They can also be called a non -compliance. In some cases, it is allowed to sell goods with minor production marriage and fixed factory marriage at reduced prices. If the goods with a marriage are sold at the usual price and it is not indicated that this product has a production marriage, then the consumer has the right to return the goods to the store and pick up the money paid for it.
Products with production marriage are rarely thrown away. Quite often they are sent for sale, but at a low price. If the verification of the goods by the user (or in the store) showed that the goods are not in demand, it is returned to the factory for revision or processing. Then the goods can return to the store again, but with a mark that it was fixed after marriage.
Production marriage is evaluated by different standards, and the amount of damage is determined by the production. For example, one manufacturer of upholstered furniture will consider the uneven seam by marriage, and will not send the goods to the customer without refinement, while the other manufacturer will insist that this uneven seam is not considered a marriage at his factory. Typically, such shortcomings are simply reset from accounts and are not even considered as a warranty case, but manufacturers of elite products cannot afford even small flaws, due to the high price of their products. Their goods with a slight marriage are most often sent to discount centers, and not for sale. A visit to the discount centers of furniture can be a significant way to save and buy elite furniture at affordable prices.
Sofas, tables and even mattresses can be made with marriage. Hard furniture, such as a chair or table, most often a slight marriage – these are chips and scratches. Up laid furniture with a slight marriage – it is, as a rule, furniture with protruding threads or unevenly stretched fabrics. In Russia, manufacturers rarely reduce the price very much if damage is slight. Therefore, weigh all the pros and cons, before buying furniture with a marriage.
In electronics, marriage can be more problematic. If a certain function is damaged, then the goods must be seriously discounted. For example, a slab with one non -working burner should cost at least half a lesser than a completely functioning plate, but a similar markdown is not always done. Household appliances with aesthetic production marriage can be completely discounted by only 5-10%, which is also often not profitable. Thus, choosing things with marriage to save, do not forget to look for the best and profitable options.
When buying defective things, make sure that the disadvantages are really small and do not affect the functions of the goods. Warranties for goods with marriage are also given, but they differ from guarantees for goods without marriage.
