We ordered a pram from there. it arrived Tuesday and it was faulty so we took it back today as they offer a " 7 day no quibble quarantee" they said they wont refund us till they have spoken to the manufacturs!! they r basically acting illegally and dh has said that if the money isnt returned to us by the end of monday he is gona issue court proceedings.............its so wrong, we brougth a pram from then which is faulty and they r mucking us around even though it is quite clear in their terms and conditons that they should have given us a full refund!! just as well he is a solicitor i guess........

but if an item is faulty and not fit for the use it was brought for, they legally have to refund.

biglips · 21/05/2005 14:37

damn right they should refund it to you as you also returned it within "7 days no quibble quarantee".

biglips · 21/05/2005 14:39

and if they are still not refunding anything to you, tell them that you will get the Trading standards involved and they will s*it themselves

I bought a pram from them in 2002 and we had a terrible time when we had a fault with it. I got trading standards involved and there local office visited they said that basically they were trying to rectify problems but they had such a back log that they couldn't keep up, doesn't sound like they have emproved much.

3 months and still waiting for my refund - have passed it over to credit card company.

Its absolutely disgusting how they operate.

lulumama · 11/10/2008 11:13

really knockoff.... how can you help? do you work for them? the only threads and info i have ever seen about 2leftfeet are horrendous..same old story, orders never sent, faulty parts, no refunds. waiting months and months for items and then can;t get money back. amazed they are still going

ilovemydog · 11/10/2008 11:14

great they have a 'no quibble' policy. Imagine if they didn't

They are dreadful. They debited my card for something that wasn't in stock and was finally delivered 6 weeks later.

I've started shopping locally as a result...

mumofmonstersOBE · 11/10/2008 11:24

knockoff, without meaning to be rude there are a LOT of MNetters who have experience with 2leftfeet(unfortunatly) and exactly how can you help when you aren't employed by them ?

did you know this thread is from 2005?

lauraloola · 11/10/2008 11:34

I cant believe you actually received the item - I didnt even get mine.

I ended up copying in Trading Standards to an email and was refunded a few days later.

ajm200 · 11/10/2008 12:10

You are lucky to have recieved your pram. We ordered on two years ago for DS and it was fine so based on that we ordered a buggy in July for this baby. They couldn't give any updates on the order. We attempted to cancel after 12 weeks and got a letter offering 5% if we'd wait another 12 weeks. Luckily we used a credit card with internet purchase protection. The credit card refunded our money a week ago but two left feet have only just got round to acknowledging the cancellation.

They told us it wasn't their fault, there was a 12 week delay getting goods from the manufacturer. Didn't explain why they potentially needed 24 weeks though. Ordered the same buggy from somewhere else, got a call from the manufacturer 4 hours later offering to deliver the next day

seaside72 · 11/10/2008 23:52

So sorry to hear of such bad experiences.

I feel compelled to post the flip side from my experience- I ordered my pram, car seat, cot, changing table, nursing chair and loads of accessories from twoleftfeet last year and they were fantastic. It was all delivered when I asked for it to be and I have used them for other stuff since. I have to say I always spoke to the same girl there and had her direct email and phone extension - she was amazing. I could not fault them.

sillyworrywort · 12/10/2008 10:15

I had a terrible experience with two left feet and in the end I said I would go to the press unless they contacted me. They didn't so I emailed Watchdog thinking nothing would happen. 72 hours later I had a film crew in my house and was on TV the following week! Felt a right stupid arse but I hate that company. They actually disputed my claims on national TV but the next day I got everything I was waiting for, a letter of apology and free gro-bag thingy. Watchdog would love to know that they still being totally useless... (if anyone else is prepared to look silly on national TV!) Awful company and I anyone thinking of giving them 1p of their hard earned cash should so not bother.

lauraloola · 12/10/2008 14:35

Blimey - I cant believe someone actually had a good experience. Seems odd that so many people do have problems. I guess they cant be all bad or they would be shut down. Im not going to give them a chance to prove it though - Kiddicare.com all the way for me!!!

ajm200 · 13/10/2008 08:51

If watchdog are involved, I guess the bad stories must outweigh the good so seaside72 you've obviously been very lucky.
