Whats a fair amount for compensation?

2

Comments

  • when i paid i received an email saying that they would be delivered on 24th November at the latest (a 4 week delivery time) - they accept that they have taken an unacceptably long time and are willing to compensate me for this - i havent asked for compensation before so am not sure what to ask for really but i know i dont want any of their vouchers!!
  • So it's not actually compensation you want, it's revenge. :cool:
    well i guess if you look at it like that - lets say i want revenge and.................compensation!!
  • That would absolutely ruin the malmaison floor runner

    OP reckons the floor-runner's out of the price bracket for the compo - in which case, sod'em, I say.

    My friend's got a lovely velvet sofa from Laura Ashley but the cat's dribbled all over it.

    So you wernt sofaless you had furniture to sit on, not really their problem you sold your old sofa before you got your new ones delivered, I can't think of any sofa company's that would guarantee absolutely 100% a delivery date. £75 from them seems more than fair, buy someone a present with it if you don't want anything yourself...

    To be fair, the OP didn't say that the original sofa had been sold. It could have exploded or something.

    malmaison floor runner is £150 - didnt really want any more of their products plus i see this as an easy way out for them with little loss of £ to the laura ashley coffers - i, however have spent 3 months sitting on conservatory furniture as sold my old couches in october, could have cancelled the order but the sofas are lovely (now they are actually here) and were in the sale!!

    Erm, yes she did...
  • When we were first married, we spent the first year using deck chairs as we couldn't afford proper furniture.

    OP - look at this realistically - you didn't have to sit crossed legged on the carpet - you had furniture to sit on even it wasn't your nice new sofas

    How much have you lost out on and need compensating for?
