Topic: Stupid Xmas True, Stupid Warehouse! Posted: 14 December 2008 at 4:47pm |
GRRRRR
Remember me saying how cool my black fibre optic xmas tree was! Emphasize on the WAS!
After turning it on twice and watching the pretty lights, the 3rd time, poof gone. No more lights. $180 christmas tree, and it only worked twice.
Twice.
I am having trouble getting over it. Twice.
Then to make it worse, i threw out the reciept as it was the last thing i expected to crap put.
We rang the warehouse and they said sweet bring it in and we will swap it. Pulled it down took all the decorations off and took it back.
They are out of stock.
Wont be getting more.
Heres a $90 credit note instead. WTF!
Its a $180 tree. We paid $180 for it.
If it didnt F#%@ out in the first place, i wouldnt have needed the reciept, and i wouldnt have had to take it back and get only half of what we paid for it cos they sell sh*t ass trees!
Funny thing is there was a discounted one there when we went to buy our cos the lights didnt work.

Nope they took the tree and only gave us half of the money back because we didnt have a reciept.

That can't be right! The tree is faulty they should give you a replacement and a full refund.

when you don't have a receipt they give you credit note for how much the item is on sale that day - and they have a 50% off xmas trees atm. bugger!

I didn't even notice it said true lol
I think you are lucky to get anything back without a receipt. But I can see why you are frustrated too.

"The Warehouse, where everyone gets a bargain."
is actually
"The Warehouse, where everythings open or broken."
Sucks about the tree, hopefully you can find something else.

That's annoying and I certainly wouldn't want to buy another tree of the same type!! But how about using the $$ to buy a real tree and stack of decorations? You'd do pretty good with the $$ and you'll have plenty of organising time until Christmas

That sucks!  Stupid Warehouse!
They are in my bad books at the moment too. We have bought Sam a play house for Xmas which it turns out is missing a few pieces. I only checked because I read a thread on the TM boards about this happening to other people. We had planned to put it up Xmas eve, but don't know if we are going to get the parts in time!

did you get it on eftpos? and if so will it show up on your bank statement?
we used this as proof of purchase with a lawnmower we got a Bunnings that broke down and they accepted as proof of purchase as we didn't have the receipt

I bought a Mrs Santa suit on sale at the beginning of the year and when I went to put it on this year it had no belt or hat!!!!!! Should have checked when I bought it, no chance of taking it back almost a year later, but I do still have the receipt  (I keep receipts for at least a year for anything of any value - especially from the Warehouse!)

Now that's a good idea... if you did use a card, I'd try it for sure.
