Can I rant about Zara please?

I ordered a bag online. Just a basic fabric summer type bag. (The Jacquard bag if you are interested)
They sent it. Lovely. I used it - and realised they had left the electronic security tag on it. I e mailed. They say I need to take it to the nearest shop - that would be a 3 hour round trip for me. When pressed they offer a courier collection on a day when I am out (offer not repeated for another day). I ummed and aahed and after umpteen e mails - all suggesting I take it to my nearest store - I posted it back for the tag to be removed, with a careful note to that effect. But no, they refunded it.... I phoned but nothing they could do as it had been refunded.
I re-ordered. It arrived yesterday - and ... the security tag is on it!

  1. what do I do? (Likely outcome is for me to use bag - carrying the receipt at all times - until I am next going to big city with Zara next month and can get them to take tag off)
  2. how can I be horrid to them as I am feeling very vindictive (I won't do this but would like to fantasise).
I know they don't have to bother because we will all keep buying their stuff, but this is making me cross (in a first world problem way).

That is so weird, that TWICE it came to you with the security tag on.

Is it one of those standard sinelko tags. (sp?) could another shop remove it for you?

Err, no its 3 times now ... And someone up thread had the same thing with the same bag. And no, its a big fat grey ink filled number - kind local shop here in the sticks had a go at it for me with their tag remover but no luck.

Email the CEO of Zara.

Dh did when fcuk did the same to him, he took it back and got a discount and £25 fuel and parking. Cost about £10 for that so he was pleased.
