ok long story shot I'm haveing a dispute with a japnises shop and I need to know the consumer laws for japan does any one know where I can get them or what they are

[Banners]

Is the dispute something serious, or just about a toy robot?

Give up. Trying to get something sorted in the same country is hard enough. Accept it, move on and don't deal with them again. It's not worth the effort.

Give them a nasty review and user rating on Amazon/Ebay/Whatever, then move on with your life.

Contacting these folks would be a decent starting point:  http://www.kokusen.go.jp/ncac_index_e.html

But while I won't make light of anyone else's plastic-tat obsession, I suspect you're on a hiding to nowhere if the 'dispute' is even mildly complex.  C'est la guerre, CL2K.

Stick on a lizard costume and rampage through their city.

Deal with it. Do as they ask or buy a new one.

Why did you take it out of the box??? It's not a toy!

Their offer seems fair to me, in the circumstances. The circumstances being that it is not a lot of money, and you'll end up wasting a lot of time and angst trying to fight a point of principle - with them likely to clam up and ignore you.

Why not suggest you keep the broken one - they can see the photos - and pay the fee for the delivery of the new one?

Worth pointing out that Doc X is an actual lawyer.

Really, it's not worth pointing that out. Which, um, is why I didn't.
