So this lot arrived from TK Maxx, splintered. I ask for my money back, pointing out that the other stuff in the order was fine.

TK lose the original email with all the pix, I resend the pic I've got left, see below.

Ask timidly again - TK say 'we need more evidence', want pictures 'to show damage' 'for our auditors'.

YABU = how dare you suggest these plates are faulty you greedy cow
YANBU = at 90p each, please refund this Mumsnetter.

Refund refused: right or not?

Am I the only one that can see it is broken plates in packaging?

ArgumentativeAardvaark · 21/05/2020 14:16

Why is everybody missing the point that she already sent better pictures and TK Maxx lost them?!

OP, why don’t you have the original email in your sent items folder?

PlanBea · 21/05/2020 14:21

This feels like the dress being blue or white, I can't see smashed plates in the pic at all.

MLMsuperfan · 21/05/2020 14:22

Maybe don't take photos during a nuclear blast.

Why is everybody missing the point that she already sent better pictures and TK Maxx lost them?!

Because if she sent them via email then surely it's possible to resend them. It seems strange that the OP no longer has any way to resend the pictures, and is left with only the worst photo.

Alsohuman · 21/05/2020 14:26

It’s a rubbish photo, without being told it’s broken plates, I wouldn’t have been able to figure out what I was looking at.

ArgumentativeAardvaark · 21/05/2020 14:32

I know @GrimmsFairytales, but nobody has asked her this obvious question!

heartsonacake · 21/05/2020 14:32

I emailed them the day the plates arrived, and the pic is dated an hour after I signed for the parcel.

So? You can’t tell what’s in the awful photo you took so of course they want more evidence.

Have you thrown the plates away?

I’m not missing that point at all. I doubt that the op had trotted up to Boots with the film to be processed. The op should still have the picture because either she hasn’t deleted them or that they are in her sent folder.
They have lost the email but that doesn’t make the photos vanish.

Hadjab · 21/05/2020 14:44

I’m confused as to what you want from us OP? Even the vote makes no sense. Resend the original email or take fresh pics.

ArgumentativeAardvaark · 21/05/2020 14:52

@FlamingoAndJohn. I KNOW! But OP seems to think that it does!

FabbyChix · 21/05/2020 14:55

Why aren’t the pictures in your sent email

ScarfLadysBag · 21/05/2020 14:58

Was it a contact form or something you used? Otherwise the original photos should be in your sent email folder, unless you manually deleted them from there.

And yes it's a terrible pic!

Dahlietta · 21/05/2020 15:03

This thread is weird.

Drag0nflye · 21/05/2020 15:48

I don’t understand any of this. Why not just re-send the email you sent them from your sent folder with the (presumably better) pictures?

Alternatively, why not just take a much better picture of the broken plates again? Or have you thrown them out? If so, why have you thrown them out before confirmation of a refund?

Dieu · 21/05/2020 16:08

Whaaat?? All I can see are ripped up pieces of paper, not splintered plates Hmm

AnnofPeeves · 21/05/2020 16:22

It's not a great picture but I can clearly see a smashed Denby plate in it.

Lucked · 21/05/2020 16:25

So both you and TKMaxx managed to lose the other photos?

If you binned them without confirmation of a refund more fool you.

Lazypuppy · 21/05/2020 16:28

Just take more photos, you still have the items? That photo isn't very clear

ChangeThePassword · 21/05/2020 16:54

but nobody has asked her this obvious question!

Two people on the first page of this thread mentioned that the email should be in the sent items.

And that assuming that it was TK Maxx that lost the email. I mentioned that it could be in drafts if it hadn't sent.

Jux · 21/05/2020 17:35

Lots of people have asked the obvious question, because it's obvious. OP has decided not to answer it.

3cats · 21/05/2020 17:42

I suspect this will be one of those threads where the OP will keep missing the point.

Supersimkin2 · 21/05/2020 18:13

I am here and on point Grin

No more pix to be had - I binned the ones I had when I cleared out my phone and I've got better things to hoard than a box of broken plates.

OP posts:
Supersimkin2 · 21/05/2020 18:14

I complained within the hour, too.

OP posts:
SandieCheeks · 21/05/2020 18:16

So you took one really unclear photo and then binned the plates and photos before getting a reply/refund?
