3 things in the past few weeks that I have bought have been faulty or wrong. I bought a new toy from a website, the batteries which came with it leaked and now it doesn't work. Last week I bought some PJs from Asda for my labour bag only to find that while the top was 16-18 as stated on the hanger and the lable the trousers are size 20-22 and too big. Today I bought a small metal water bottle from a camping shop and the lid doesn't screw on properly.
The toy came from a website, I emailed them and they said I could send it back as long as it was all still in it's original packaging, unsed etc.
. I wrote back and said if it was all in it's original packaging and unused then the batteries wouldn't have leaked and I wouldn't have a problem. Ok, they said, send it back, but I have to package it up, make sure I send a letter explaining why I am sending it back, go to the post office and pay for postage.
I also have to trek back to Asda, which is a trip I was hoping I wouldn't have to make again, especially since I am new to the area and last time the 2 mile journey home took me half an hour as I got lost.
And I have to find the time to go back into town to return the water bottle, despite the fact that I am 34 weeks pg and struggling to walk, work 4 days a week and when I am not working have a 3 year old in tow. I really don't have the time and inclination to go, but I can't afford to throw away money, so I will do it all, and I expect I will get my returns and my money back, but I'll get nothing for my bloody trouble will I?
AIBU to be pissed off as such a load of crap?
Grrr, I'm in the stressed and angry stage of pg at the moment as you can tell...
I remember good out Safeway used to have a 'refund and replace' policy so if you needed to take something back you would get the product back and a refund.
