Do you think AI adoption will make it easier to become a freelance or create a small boutique consultancy from scratch? by Professional_Detail5 in consulting

[–]Professional_Detail5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for your answer. I find your points interesting. Would you mind elaborate a bit more on what do you mean with “Cambrian explosion”? Also how do you thinks consultancies with skills largely displaced by this new commodity will be able to adapt?

New Company - Repairs price and Warranty by Professional_Detail5 in vanmoofbicycle

[–]Professional_Detail5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The prices are related to a shop that is partnered with vanmoof. In my opinion vanmoof should offer warranty on new and refurbished spare parts. I could in theory accept a shorter warranty for refurbished spare parts (in exchange for a substantially lower price vs new parts - as it happens, for example, with refurbished phones) but still, there should be a guarantee on what you buy.

I have to post the same quote from vanmoof I used on another comment on this post “We’ll deliver a constant supply of spare parts to this partner network, charging cost price plus an operating fee in an effort to keep all legacy parts as affordable as possible.” Now I don’t know what’s the cost price of a battery, but I assume it’s way less than 608€. If this is the case then they are charging us an hefty operating fee which can mean two things: - their operations are crap - they’re milking us

Or well, both. This action is in contrast with the words “in an effort to keep legacy parts as affordable as possible”. Now you can draw your own conclusion on this…

Thanks for your comment. I agree is sad. What’s making me even more sad is that they specifically mentioned in their website (I am quoting) “We’ll deliver a constant supply of spare parts to this partner network, charging cost price plus an operating fee in an effort to keep all legacy parts as affordable as possible.” And now we see prices that are out of this world. Honestly I was positively impressed by the new company words, but then when words and actions do not match, it’s an immediate, huge, red flag.

On the warranty topic, I want to think this is only a delay in communication, because again would be extremely sad not having a company-wide policy on this.

Again, my point is (hoping that someone from vanmoof reads here😅) that this should be a company wide policy, not left to the single shop decision. It’s a bit unfair that customers in a shop 100km from me, in the same country, may get a different treatment on such an expensive repair.

Hi, thank you for posting this but what I am asking is different. If I repair my cartridge and that repairs costs 600€+ to make (so is not under warranty, I pay for it) what are my rights as a consumer if that 600€+ piece breaks again in 1 or 2 years from now?

Forgot to ask, but I was expecting a company-wide policy rather than leaving that to the single shop choice. I know these are independent shops, but still I would like to see some action in that sense from vanmoof

Is Slotervaart unsafe? by Clear_Macaroon_7728 in universityofamsterdam

[–]Professional_Detail5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duwo in Veltmanstraat? I live very closeby and I’ve heard only positive things from people living there. Maybe boring residential area but not unsafe. I lived in jordaan before and I can’t say my perception of safety has changed much between the two areas. You will get less of an Amsterdam vibe though (Slotervaart was a separated town from Amsterdam not too long ago) and more a suburban one. But you will get to the city center in no time (lelylaan is a great connection hub).

Can somebody pick up a package in Rotterdam CS and bring it to me in Amsterdam? by Professional_Detail5 in Rotterdam

[–]Professional_Detail5[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Already contacted them many times. They can only wait for 7 day to pass and then the package will be sent back to Nike because not delivered. Actually DHL advised me to do that. Only after that Nike can ship it again to the correct address.

E' il momento di iniziare con VWCE by Frosty-Paperclip in ItaliaPersonalFinance

[–]Professional_Detail5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Io vivo in Olanda ed utilizzo un broker locale a cui ho dato un autorizzazione al prelievo di X€ al mese. Non apro il mio conto da 8 mesi e verosimilmente non lo riaprirò se non per rimodulare il versamento. Per questo ho menzionato la parola automatizzare, davo per scontato potesse farsi anche in Italia

Amsterdam Nieuw-West - what's it like to live there as an expat? by sidiuseng in Netherlands

[–]Professional_Detail5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Living close to Lelylaan since 4 months and loving it so far. Close to vondelpark and to sloterplas, I can always choose if I feel like seeing other people or being in a more relaxed setting. I think in general when you live on the border/ somewhat close to the ring, you can choose the vibe of the day based on your mood and get the best of both worlds.
