Went to the store and got a refund smoothly and without a hitch.
HA HA, JUST KIDDING! It actually took about 20 minutes, because the lad in the store wasn’t sure how to process it. First he said that I’d already been refunded, then he said, “You’re getting an LG?”, then he went and talked to the manager. Then he came back, had another go, got increasingly stressed because he couldn’t figure out how to refund the installation costs, got someone else, then they both stood poking the screen until it was figured out.
I did get my refund though! Now I’ve just got to wait for it to appear in my account…
The wait allowed me to admire the scenery, such as the fantastic PC services KnowHow offers. Including a £30 data wipe using ‘government apporoved methods’. Sadly their PC know how doesn’t extend to using a spellchecker.
Looks like nothing has changed at Currys. Cancel the sale – Purchase online from AO or John Lewis. Or the Coop My 200 quid basic machine just keeps going and going. An internal connector fell out once. No Drama.
Maybe thats whats up with yours? Letter before action?
Already done – I cancelled with Currys on Wednesday (same day as the engineer visit), ordered with AO Wednesday evening, had our new machine delivered Thursday morning. Couldn’t get a refund until today because you can’t get a refund until the item is collected, and today was the earliest they could do (they originally said Monday was the earliest, until I bullied them with the Consumer Rights Act repeatedly, with supporting links from MoneySavingExpert and Which…)
The engineer said that it was a faulty PCB.
