Buying something, returning it and buying it again?!!

sophie131

Hiya!
There is something I really want in Topshop for £80. No shops near me stock it, and i've phoned loads and they can't order one in for me.
They have it in stock on the internet though so would they let me do this:
Buy if off the net, return it instore, then re-buy it straight away.
The reason I want to re-buy it is because I have loads of Topshop vouchers and also a 15% student discount to use.
Would this be really frowned upon, or accepted because they can't get one for me?
Thanks for any help - I hope this is in the right place!!

I would probably ring the store first maybe? I would do it if i worked in topshop, would be annoying but id still do it.

Trouble is you would lose your P&P which is a bit naff.

Also if youre a student there is a student lock in night coming up.

I think you can ask a store to order an item in for you. If you take a note of the item code (I'm pretty sure this is available on the website) and then go into your local branch, they can then phone in the order. I don't know if they get their stock from the same place as the website but it's probably your best bet and would save a lot of faffing about (and the postage cost).

My OH wanted something from Topman that they only had online, so I went into the store and they ordered it in for us. It took about a week. They said that they would ring us when it arrived, which they didn't, but as we rang them on the day they said the stock would arrive this wasn't too much of a problem. Anyway it saved on P&P, and was able to use my discount card!
