Bought as new - sold a sample - wedding album

Not sure if this is the right area to be posting in.

I was wondering if you know where I stand with this?

I just got married, and as usual, had a professional photographer do the photos. I got the album yesterday, but just noticed that it has "SAMPLE" embossed on the back cover. I paid full price for the album, and was never told I was getting a sample. The photographer no longer uses that supplier (I am the only person to get that album). Where do I stand. Should I ask for a completely new album? How much of a discount is reasonable? The album cost £1100.

  • Absolutely you should ask for a new album - I'd kick up a real stink if I had paid £1100 for something which had "sample" written across it!
    Self employed and loving it :D

    Yep demand a new one. I don't know how the photographer had the nerve to sell you an album with "sample" all over it!
  • Are you sure this is not your proofs album?

    It all works out good in the end.
    If it's not good, it's not the end!
