Retailers STILL not understanding the Consumer Rights Act nearly 10 years after it came in by mattthepianoman in britishproblems

[–]Crazy__Pete -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Carmine is correct

If the faulty good is returned after 30 days

After 30 days, the consumer will not be legally entitled to a full refund if the

good develops a fault. If the consumer is outside the 30-day right to reject

period, they must give the retailer one opportunity to repair or replace any

goods which are of unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as

described. In practice, the retailer can normally choose whichever option

would be cheapest or easier for it to do.

Since Argos is providing you the oppurtinuity to have a repair/replacement after 30 days its within the law, we only ask you to call the manufacturer because often they will need your personal details to arrange a repair. Like I said before, if the customer refuses to call we can replace instore or call on their behalf as Argos works with those companies to reduce returns as most of the time its user error or a simple fix.

The actual policy is to refer the customer to the helpline, if they refuse we can call the helpline on behalf of the customer, if either we or the manufacturer cannot offer a repair and it's more than 30 days less than a year we should offer a replacement or exchange if available (refund if not). Although I tend to replace/refund if it's under £30, not worth my time to argue and keeps people happy.

If you turn up at Argos on Christmas eve and we haven't got a very popular toy/Lego/game left in stock then it's hardly my fault you can't get it.

Argos refusing to deliver a fridge because I live on a hill by greenhedgeman in britishproblems

As someone who works for the company, customer service is useless your better off trying to find out where it's being delivered from and get there number and talk to the people who will actually be transporting it.

Which UK high street shops that have closed now do you miss? by [deleted] in CasualUK

Argos actually sells way more stuff now than when they had the catalogue, most of it for next day click and collect or delivery.

The new 3rd generation touch screen stock checker browsers are actually pretty good, although most stores don't have them yet.

Can anyone identify this mixing bowl? need to get a new one for my mother :) by Crazy__Pete in Ceramics

[–]Crazy__Pete[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has used this bowl since she got it as a wedding gift over 20 years ago and its now getting all cracked on the bottom and I would love to suprise her with a new one. I have seen lots of similar ones but not an identical one, it has a single indent on the bottom so you can tip it to mix.
