I bought something over a year ago from John Lewis

this

for my bathroom. Only just re-discovered it (was having it done at teh time) but our toothbrushes dont fit it although I think I may have realised this back then.

Its still in its box but box is a little battered. Im sure they've told me before there is no timescale for returning but obviously this is taking the piss. Does anyone know their policy?

I took a jumper back to River Island once - it was over a year old, I'd worn and washed it about four times. I didn't have a receipt.

Got my money back - cash.

Give it a go, I say!

£79? for a toothbrush holder??? - give it a go, can think of plenty of things to do with the money

If they won't take it back sell it on ebay.

id be happy with a credit note for half that to be honest - its amazing what Ive found in cupboards and in the loft just being "stored"

If they still sell it they'll probably take it back. I took a sewing maching back after a year (realised i'd not taken it out of the box so was prob never going to use it . And they took it back with no problems and refunded me. Love John Lewis.

i think i may wimp out a bit and phone their customer service in the morning first. Then armed with acceptance I can go in and be politely confident

Just call me Sherlock.

What I meant was did you used to have an s on the end of your name - I knew it was you - am I making ANY sense?

Read my profile. I am not of sane mind, it's obvious

well done! Spend it wisely

My parents took their washing dryer thingy (sorry wind chill in my brain atm) back to Argos after 3 years as the wires got all twisted in the wind.

They exchanged it for a new one.

Could you not just have bought toothbrushes that fit in it? Or have you got chrome plated toothbrushes as well?

the only ones that would fit it are the little cheap crap ones - not a good sturdy Oral B supergrip one

So if I took back curtains that I bought from John Lewis about a year ago and are still in their wrapping, maybe I could get the money back? That would be good.

If I'd paid £79 for a toothbrush holder I'd have it on the mantelpiece!

Worth asking, if they say no, you've got a new pencil holder!
