AIBU - to be annoyed at Sainsburys reducing their 32" Sony Bravia by £200 after only having bought it at the higher price 3 weeks earlier???

[bluebell82]

and for the customer service department to basically tell me that it is tough and that I am not entitled to anything!????
Want to go and shout at the Store Manager tomorrow but I am just being unreasonable???

yes you are, bonkers woman

YABU.
You were happy with the price you paid at the time.

what? what do you want them to do about it? presumably you were happy with the price when you bought it?

tried that one... apparently can only reurn if faulty and even then they couldn't resell it back to me as they can't sell faulty goods.....! I just feel robbed of £200 and can't understand why they think its OK!

Yes, obviously you are being unreasonable. I'm sure you're pissed off about it, but can you seriously expect them to arrange their sales around your buying schedule?

Isn't that how sales work?

damn it is so annoying when that happens. shame

I was happy at the time but then some lucky bugger is going to buy exactly the same TV for £200 cheaper, I don't think that is fair really.. are you telling me you wouldn't be slightly annoyed!

"I just feel robbed of £200 and can't understand why they think its OK!"

are you really being serious? what are you on about?

how much reserach did you do before buying it?

God how mean is everyone on here this glorious Sunday evening! Thought this was a place to vent frustrations no matter how minor, I will bottle it up in future!

how much did you pay for it? presumably you paid what you considered a good price?

no you numpty

next time

• download Which? report on item in question
• check out online prices to find the cheapest on the market
• go with co-op electricals which is probably the cheapest AND has extra warranties

ta-da

I can understand why you're hacked off, but not why you think Sainsburys have robbed you or that they ought to do something about it

if you had said "I am so upset about this" and left it there, I think you would have got the response you wanted

now lie still while we kick you

Link please, dh would love a new tv

DH reckons that if you have your receipt that you can take it back and get a full no quibble refund. (sainsbury customer services policy)
then just buy a new one at the cheaper rate.

agreed bluebell - nothing you can do, realistically, and you haven't really been hard done by by Sainsbury's - but I totally understand your fury. I would be spitting tacks or sobbing.

for what its worth John Lewis certainly have a policy where by if something is reduced within a couple of weeks of you buying it you can apply for them to refund you the difference

mp I prefer it when they keep flailing around
more of a challenge

I used to work at GAP and they had the same policy... I think I am more annoyed at myself as moaned on at dh to get a new tv so we could make more space for our dd... and as usual my impatience has come and bit me on the arse... I take all your points on board though I am just the stupid cow who didn't research first.. it just seemed like such a good deal at the time!!! I am a marketing persons dream- honestly!

YANBU!!

of course you are annoyed, I can't believe all these YABU posts!

ignore them all, philistines the lot

I know someone that got a refund from JL for a similar thing and Gap refund too if you buy somehting that then goes in the sale

have you gone in and glared at the manager?

have a heart folk!i would be devastated to see an item i paid for reduced by £200 try your luck bluebelle all they can do is tell you no

but they have told her no
now she's more hacked off

I am amazed anyone would even think that they have a right to get this money back
