I'll try and be quick:
Ordered a new settee etc to be delivered for Christmas, the same we had in our old house.
Everything comes on the 23rd, nice one.
As it's being unwrapped I notice that the storage footstool we ordered wasn't on castors as we'd been led to believe (we had the non-storage version at the old house and liked the idea of a bit more storage).
Delivery men just shrug so I said I'll just sort it after Boxing Day.
After a few (non-returned) calls, I thought I'd make a visit to the showroom to move things along, which seemed to work; they were going to get on to head office and ring me back this afternoon (which they duly did)
They're saying because I ordered the storage footstool that it's my fault, my response is that if I'd have seen a photo or been told what it was actually like I wouldn't have ordered it, we'd have ordered the same as our old one.
The problem really stems from the fact that the suite wasn't in the showroom and the salesman couldn't show me an actual photo.
So my question is; where do I stand? Is this technically "Distance Selling"? I'll be honest and say that I sense that they're going to be digging their heels in and I'm looking tonne as amicable as possible, I've got enough on at the minute without going into battle over a footstool.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
