    Can you repost so it's easier to read?

    Why did you sign for something that you didn't order, having noticed the error?

    Some punctuation would be nice too.

    The damage to the Samsung TV is entirely your responsibility.
    If you have a household contents insurance policy that covers accidental daamage, you will need to make a claim on that.

    Really your should have refused delivery in the first place.

    I would think you would need to claim for the broken tv on your household insurance.
    You will obviously have to reimburse the shop as well as them sending yu the TV that you ordered or refund your money.

    Youre going to out of pocket though if you have excess on your insurance.
    The shop is not liable for that as it was you or yur household who caused the accident.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Unfrtntly u iz in trubl
    :j

    Anyways....... You took receipt of goods that weren't yours, why not reject them?.

    OK so you don't reject them, common sense says you don't touch it but what did you do? Oh yes set it up. You set up something that wasn't yours and have damaged it.

    You are liable for the cost and may have to pay the extra (or only be refunded the difference if it costs less) as you cannot return it. As soon as you took delivery, you were responsible for its safe keeping. If your lucky, you may be able to get reimbursed by the window company but this is a different matter and depends whose fault it was (plus it may be a little dishonest).

    EDIT: I have a game, first poster to find a full stop in the OP's post wins a sweetie (P&P extra;)).
    Back by no demand whatsoever.
  • I believe what being asked is:-

    I ordered a Sony TV from Tesco Direct. They delivered a Samsung TV in error which I queried at time of delivery. I installed the incorrect TV in my house.

    Tesco then contacted me and requested that I return the Samsung TV. They also advised me that they no longer have the Sony TV in stock.

    I have since damaged the Samsung TV.

    What are my best options?

    OK so how long was there in-between the set up of the TV and the damage.

    Did you know the TV was there before it was damaged?

    Even though your son may not have known, its still your responsibility.

    Is the window company prepared to compensate?
