Browse Forums General Discussion Re: Henley discontinues Damani 61Sep 04, 2009 11:18 pm We didn't want to wait for them and kept asking about it (after hearing about it here), jumped up and down few times and was offered credit at tender and took it, now we get to supply our own. went ot a few appliance places and looks like we need to put in at least $1k extra to get some decent appliances not inc dishwasher. Re: Henley discontinues Damani 62Sep 05, 2009 8:57 am Our plans are in council so we are a long way off appliances but got a letter from Pl@ntation (QLD Henly) yesterday letting us know that the D'Amani free standing cooker model was being changed to DAF91EG (the same one in the pics a few posts back). We knew about this from our colours appt, so no surprise. Letter also said that the microwave model had changed to D'Amani D-Gem2301 and the sink had changed from original Franke to Abey Deluxe DL180 1 3/4 sink. Sink lookes pretty much like old one, I probably wouldn't have noticed the change if they hadn't told me. Building the Pl@ntation Retreat on 4009m2. All moved in!!!!!!

You're getting all the new upgraded appliances! That's the best possible outcome Hope we get the newer ones...! Re: Henley discontinues Damani 64Sep 05, 2009 11:39 am We are yet to see a variation from Henley to the new oven but have the emails and backed up too just in case... since construction is complete won't be long before we see what we get (and if its wrong i will hit the roof)! 2nd build here we come in Whittlesea! https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=92617 1st Build - Henley - Cooper in Doreen!

It's only fair we all get what we signed up for. I'll be following people's stories on this thread pretty closely to make sure if others can get their D'amani, I can too! Best of luck Re: Henley discontinues Damani 66Sep 05, 2009 5:22 pm Thats exactly right felistopher.... I have all the emails stating we can have that oven so we're having it (DP has copies to as I was just CC'd on them all)! 2nd build here we come in Whittlesea! https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=92617 1st Build - Henley - Cooper in Doreen! (2009) https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=17354 Re: Henley discontinues Damani 67Sep 06, 2009 1:06 pm I mentioned in an earlier post that we were told that the most credit we would get for our appliances was $300. The sales consultant that did the very first quote told us this and she even said that she did not think it was worth us requesting a credit for the appliances. I have this in an email as proof!! Based on that advice we thought we'd keep the d'amani appliances and replace them if and when they died. When the tender appt came, we did not even bother asking anything about getting a credit because of what we were previously told. That was a big mistake. Once I found this thread, I emailed our administrator and asked her to confirm if the appliances had really been discontinued and obviously she said yes. She gave us the option to install the technika products or to delete the items. I automatically asked to have them deleted because I regretted not deleting them in the first place. She told me to think about it but I said no. This time around we were quoted $2500 as a credit which sounds more realistic. A lot of the big places like good guys and harvey norman are having massive sales. you can get a good package for about 3k, not including dishwasher though. I don't know where the first consultant got the $300 from but it has really annoyed me knowing that she was wrong! Re: Henley discontinues Damani 70Sep 08, 2009 11:58 am Our appliances arrived yesterday to the house. All Damani appliances. Will get model numbers later on.

I spoke to our admin lady about our variation yday and she said she will work on it but was unaware of us continuing with damani even though she was cc'd on all the emails we had with the cheif purchasing officer of henley 9oh and she claimed she didn't know who he was) so those emails came in handy when i forwarded them to her last night! 2nd build here we come in Whittlesea! https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=92617 1st Build - Henley - Cooper in Doreen!

Re: Henley discontinues Damani 78Sep 22, 2009 8:51 pm We've been offered a $1580 refund on the cooktop, wall oven and dishwasher. I cracked it tonight and decided I still want my D'Amani. I emailed them back saying we dont want to accept either the refund or Technika, and told the admin to take my complaint to management. Bugger them, I want what I signed for in the contract.

My brother has said the same thing and they have left it at, "we'll see what we can do," which in Henl3y terms is, "if you pressure us enough we will succumb."

Lets see what they reply with tomorrow... eeeeeek you didn't sign for any appliance brand in the contract. that was in your tender.
