Just tried to return a drill I bought from Aldi 7 months ago. I know I’m not entitled to a refund, only repair or replace. They sent me home saying I have to ring a helpline who will sort it out for me.
Not happy as the store should sort this out for me as I bought it from there but I agreed to do what they ask (no discussion about it helped).
Has anyone else gone through this? Any ideas as to whether I’ll have to post it off anywhere? It’d be bonkers to post it as postage would cost half the price of the drill at a PO and I can’t wait in for a courier pick up as I work full time. It’s a huge SDS drill which weighs a ton!
Online searches have revealed many similar issues with Aldi not complying with SOGA, which I can attest to after I saw another customer being properly lied to a few weeks ago about a return he was trying to do.
