Curry’s washing machine saga

My washing machine broke down (just what you need in the middle of a pandemic), I bought another from Curry’s which was delivered on Friday but was returned as it had a large dent. That’s when the saga started.

I spoke to them on Saturday and they said a replacement was booked for Monday but I would receive an email. Sunday, no email and I’m told there was a mistake she would rebook for Tuesday, but I would receive an email. Again no email confirmation so I call again on Monday after 5 hours on the phone (not an exaggeration), I am told it’s not coming on Tuesday either. The washing machine is in stock and they have delivery slots but I have to wait until the PU department gives approval this will take 9 days then they will arrange a delivery slot and I can’t speed it up, nor can I speak to anyone and a refund will also take 9 days.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m at a loss where to go next and have a mountain of laundry.

AIBU to think a large company should be able to resolve simple problems like an exchange for a faulty item in a reasonable time frame especially when they delivered the damaged item in the first place, the item is in stock and they have delivery slots too😬.

@Linnet

You’re entitled to a replacement and can legally decline a repair.

I find a smile and a “okay, can you put that in writing for me please? Citizens advice have told me to put it on the forms for small claims court. Thanks so much!”

Tends to get things exchanged.

I had a similar problem with Argos, buy large item of white goods. It broke down almost immediately, they agree to replace BUT I had to wait 4 weeks! OMG!

I bought a fridge from Currys. Delivery men ripped a hole in my hallway lino.
Anyway, after many calls, months, and intrusive 'inspections', much mansplaining from said inspector and the company washed their hands of it and said you're not getting a penny. We were renting at that time and had a small baby.
I wont even step foot in there to even browse ever again and wouldn't be sad if they went bust.
