sodding currys....
« on: 21 March 2008, 15:52:52 »
the list of electrical returns goes on.....
it seems i have a 30% success rate of getting a unit that works from these people, and how stubborn are they when i want a refund from a 10 month old faulty item!  the stereo i returned today had a tendency to go onto full volume for no reason.
needless to say after yet another debate about a refund cos i wanted no more items from there i decided to just walk out and leave the piece of crap on the counter !
sod them ill go elsewhere in future. >:(

you should have phone head office or tried trading standards, they won, you walked out, any way. seems they have lost a customer and got some bad press to boot, ;D, at least you can smile about that.

I know someone who used to work for them. Customer returns just went straight back into stock for some other mug to buy. >:(

how much was the stereo?

if under £120 then its an instant replacement which then would give you a new one with new receipt at which point you can ask for refund as its new ;)

it was worth 75 quid and its the second i have taken back, the first had the power unit go on it and i did not want a third ! unfortunately i have a bit of a temper when dealing with imbeciles and preffered to leave.
ive had the last laugh cos my mate is gonna get a dishwasher and fridge freezer this weekend and is now going to comet and another mate is actually going into currys to wind them up and pretend to buy a large plasma from them and change his mind after mentioning me then showing his receipt from hughes electrical.......... (hes a wind up merchant) ;D
