Anyone else end up with defective Xmas presents?

[fedup078]

Every year this seems to happen with at least one
This year my main present for my 2 year old was one of those Leap Frog 100 words talking books
It only works on one side and not the other
I bought it months ago from Tesco and threw the packing away at someone else's house so not sure I'll get very far when I contact them
I need to learn to test them when I buy them

Yes! I bought the kids a kindle each and one didn't work. They are going to send a replacement but it won't be here until the end of January. Also a Switch game missing the cartridge. Same childs present. They have taken it well.

FlyingGoose some of the Switch games you don't actually get a cartridge - you get a download code in the box. I would double check it's not one of those !!

@FlyingGoose are you sure the switch game wasn't one of the code in the box games that doesn't come with a cartridge?

fedup I recommend contacting Leapfrog themselves rather than going through Tesco. You might get a better response.

Yes I thought about contacting the maker direct too
Unfortunately I only checked the reviews after realising it didn't work and there are many many reviews saying the same thing or mentioning other defects 🙄

Definitely check for a code for the switch game as it might be a download .

My new phone isn't very responsive I don't know if it's the phone not working or it's just the phone!

My Fitbit Charge 5 only syncs about 50% of the time. It’s a known problem so it’ll be going back

I checked, it was definitely a physical game missing. I've sent it back and got another one now

Not so much defective but I bought Xmas jumpers on a I Want One Of Those deal in the first week of Dec and they just turned up, today 😡
I had contacted IWOOT to ask where they were before Xmas but they never responded.
They will be too small for the kids next year

Ah fair enough @FlyingGoose I made the code mistake last year and thought game was missing 😕

Yes a barbie remote car. PIL bought it in September, so I hope Argos will give us refund or credit.

Granny's whoopee cushion doesn't fart.

I bought my dad a razor stand as a stocking filler, and the razor it's meant to be for (links between the two pages on Gilette's website, definitely not my mistake !) doesn't fit in it

Not defective but a duplicate, dh bought me a Pandora charm and it was the same one he bought me last year.

DP bought me a Christmas onesie from Next which had a 4-inch gap in the stitching on the arm. I spent some of Christmas Day afternoon sewing it up as I had been wearing it for a couple of hours and din't want him to have the hassle of trying to return it and pay the P&P on a new one, which would arrive well into the new year.
