HAS ANY ONE GOT ANY :idea: PLEASE
Hiya, im not sure if this is in the right place, so my apoligies if it is.
25/08 I took my leather jacket to have a pocket sewn (hole in pocket) and got a couple of the stictched small square patches sewn up a bit neater. I took it to a local leather little shop, (Lucci Leather) in town centre of Northampton, after ringing around.
They told me it would be ready fri 2/9 due to their deliveries.It may be the following fri 9/9 but they would call me.
5/9 No calls from them so i Drove into town, 10 miles, paid minimum 2 hr (£1.60) car park, to collect my jacket and its not ready. they tell me it will be in 9 or 10 sept. Go home.
14/9 Drove into town (only free day) paid car park, went to collect coat and still not ready- told will be back fri 16/9 - Waste of time.
17/9 Go into the shop and huray my coat was there. But Guess what they hadnt sewn the pocket - ( dont know what they were doing with it for 3 and half weeks )
Was told it would be fixed and it would be back the following week.
So i had to come home again, but winter is approaching and its getting cold.
(Its my only big winter coat and i had rung around different places to get advice on cost and time it would take to be mended, so i could get it done before it gets cold. Or so i had thought !)
28/9 Drove into Town, again my only day off during the week, and you guessed it, the coat still wasnt ready. Defently next week they told me. I wasnt very happy but had too much to do and have my assignment that has to be in, in 2 days so i didnt have the time or energy to argue.
03/10 - _pale_
I was so ill, my mum had to drive 260 miles from plymouth to northampton at 4.00am as i was so ill, flue like symptoms,fever,aches,muscle spasms,cough,couldnt sleep,phoned dr at normed x2, I couldnt do anything for myself, let alone see to my son (2 1/2)
Im not saying i was ill because i didnt have a coat, but it didnt help the situation. It has cost me and my family a lot of money and time, i missed a week of college, which i have to catch up and my mum lost a weeks wages.
IAnd i still have to pay £65 they quoted in the beginning.
Anyway...
fri 7/10 Went into town with mum and my little boy and went to see if my coat was ready..........
.........................Dont be silly............ its still not ready.
Apparently the couldnt find the correct colour lining and have had difficulty trying to find a colour that matches, although they have just found one now. Why didnt they tell me this before, (they took my tel no so they could ring me if needed. They have never phoned me.)
So they tell us it will be back fri 14/10, (im not confident) so we came home. My mum even offered to buy me another coat, but i declined, she couldnt afford it. But she left her coat at my flat, (I think on purpose) when she left and returned home to plymouth.
So what can i do ? Do i have any rights regarding paying for this mess of a service i have recieved. My coat, was bourght a few years ago, for approx £160, so i have to get it back. Will i have to pay for the service, if it ever comes back to the shop. Will i ever see my coat again ?
Over 7 weeks its took, when i was told it would be a maximum of 2. :mad:
