Had a wooden bed delivered today.
Drive informed me it had been damaged in transit and that I could refuse delivery.
I wasn't able to do this as I had already taken my sons old bed to the tip and he was staying at a relatives as we were doing a room makeover as a surprise.
He would be back tomorrow after school and the new bed was the focus of the new room as he had requested one.
The damage is not structural but cosmetic.
I told the driver I felt I had no choice but to take it in the circumstances as DS would be without a bed otherwise.
He marked it as damaged and took photos.
The box had been pierced and cut open and the wood had an indent and long scratch.
I'm going to attempt to hide it but obviously I paid for a new bed and if I had returned it they would have lost out on the postage it cost to send it, the return postage, the postage to send out another bed and they wouldn't have been able to resell this one at full price.
So WIBU to ask for a discount and if so, what % ?
