Now the quandary, do I send the 2 units back for a full refund or accept the fact that they are what they are and keep them. Both units come with a full RTB 12 month warranty and the price was reasonable.
Scan have refused to offer a extended warranty (I asked for an extra 12 months as a gesture off goodwill which they refused to do)
Both units are in mint, no marks condition, one had a used charger, the other had a new charger. One box was mint the other was a bit battered.

I feel your pain mate - not sure what I'd do to be honest. I don't like being misled.

I know it maybe a pain but is there no harm in waiting until there is stock?

It happened to me with a DAB radio which was advertised as new but came with and big 'Refurbished' sticker on the back... It was less than £30 so I lived with it and it's been fine to date but, for what you've paid, I think I'd send them back and save up for new ones.

Unfortunately my tablet is an extension, extra appendage etc. My wife still has her tab 2 but it's unusable for me, I've always had fast tablets and whilst it's ok for her, for me it's as slow as a first gen smart phone.

I've emailed them again, not expecting a result but stranger things have happened.

Other than their deceit the tablets are fine, my wife is chuffed with hers. Quandry

Gonna sleep on it for a couple of days.
Never use scan again, spent a couple of grand with them over the years, never an issue till now.
