I was helping on the floor at work the other day and I got orange juice in the charging port on my phone...now it will only charge if I wrap the cord around it and hold it upright...it's most inconvenient.

 

[GreyCrow]

Keep it juiced up

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Keep it juiced up

Why I oughtta...!

 

[Gralin]

Oh no GreyCrow I think Mebbys phone went flat before she could finish that threat

 

[peternorth]

Lol! I'm literally crying with laughter at your reply.

People are losing their minds over you crying with laughter

Car insurance.

Premiums up from $500 to $850. Diamond discount, rating 1 for life, etc bullshit.

Total insured $4800 (down from $5600) with a $1300 excess. So the maximum they'd pay out is $3500.

Went to carsales and looked at identical cars to mine, ranged from $15000 (mint, dealer, low km) to $7000 with only five cars below $10000. One of those was "below market value" and the $7000 basket case was "well below market value."

Thieving ****s.

I guess I'd better see how much "market value" coverage would cost. I'd still be paying over $400 just for third party coverage.

I've been told never to pay more than 10% of the market value. Go on Finder and get the best deal on extended third party.

In contrast to the above, i just fell over. My contents insurance at the place i am renting has fallen since last year. Down 23%.
Amount insured went up 2% (100k even to 102k)
And my excess went up from $750 to $850.
But i am shooked.

Only thing i can think of is that i no longer use this company (youi) for house and landlord insurance at my property (moved to a specialist insurer via a broker), and they are trying some goodwill to get me back?!?

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah my home and contents went up $1200. I immediately looked for a new insurer.

Ours went up about $600 and they are still a few hundred cheaper than everyone else

 

[GreyCrow]

I dont have contents insurance

(dont own home so nada)

 

[Cruyff14]

I found Budget to be by far the cheapest.

Budgetdirect?? That’s who we are with already and yes alot cheaper than everyone else. We were expecting a rise given our region was flooded last year so there would have been tonnes of insurance jobs.

Ours came through the other day. Uo about 20% in spite of the value of the car (and this the amount the have to pay out) going down.

It’s an absolute rort.

"You get what you pay for". You never really know how good your insurance is until you need it. My dog loves the ads though!
