Ok to cut a long story short....
DH and I got married a couple of months ago, booked a photographer who was very reasonable and also reccomended by friends of ours. Couple of weeks after wedding, photographer delivers proofs for us to check, DH and I couldn't pick 60 out of possible 250 so decided to take them all. Photographer ran through various options WRT to other wedding guests ordering prints etc and also mentioned that they too could get a disc containing ALL 250 pictures that they could print from however many times they liked but that they couldn't copy the disc. Each disc would cost £25.
Anyway I texted various family members and explained that a 7 x 5 print of each photo ordered would be £2 but a disc of all 250 photos was available for £25. I also explained that the disc could not be copied but could be printed from endlessley.
Received numerous orders for discs including one order from an aunt and one from her cousin who both wanted a disc.
We then placed the orders with the photographer and he delivered the discs the following week (we paid for all disc C.O.D.) the following weekend we did the delivery circuit and people paid their £25 etc, then we got to my aunts (it had been arranged that she would pay my Aunt her £25 and I would pick it up from there while I delivered the disc) Once we Aunts house she told us that she didn't have her £25 on her and that she hadn't seen her cousin yet either, that's fine I said, just pop it round next weekend when you come round.
Following weekend Aunt turns up, and explains that neither she or her cousin were very impressed with the photographers disc and that they din't want the discs after all and to cancel the order and they would give back the discs, I then told her we'd already paid for them and her reply was....."well I'll have to speak to my cousin about it" Was really pissed off with her at tris point but bit my tounge. Then recieved a text from Aunt yesterday to ask if wanted to meet for a pub lunch next week as she's on Annual Leave, I texted back to say probably not as DH and I are skint till payday and BTW did she have any luck with the photographer? Her reply was....Cousin is going to email him this week, don't worry we'll get your money back love xx
I mean seriously?! AIBU to be rally fucked off about this? My Aunt had seen all the photos before ordering a disc and I explained that the disc had nothing fancy on it, just the photo's and I know she will have relayed all of this back to her cousin so it's not a case of neither of them knew what they were buying! really fffing
