QVC & P&P Costs on Faulty Item?

Hi recently returned & received a replacement from QVC. The 'tablet' I returned had a fault & QVC's policy states ' QVC will only pay P&P for the return of damaged items, faulty items, or for those items different from the original order.'

They have refunded the original postage of £6.95, but with such an item needing a signature, 1st class recorded postage cost me £10 & even 2nd class would have been over £9 Therefore 'am £3.05p sort?

'am I entitled to full cost of return postage for a faulty item?

Thx

    Collect+ would have been around £7 including a signature - I'd use them next time.

    There were options available at the price they've refunded, so I don't think you'll get the difference back.

    Yes, you are. You sent it by a sensible postage method for the product. If they wanted it by a specific method then they could have arranged it and sent a pre-paid returns label.

    Out of interest, you say they've refunded the original £6.95. Do you mean they've refunded you that twice, once to cover the original postage and once to cover the return? Otherwise you are the full £10+ out of pocket.

    They have always been good with us, if we have called in advance to warn them something is coming back they have sent a courier to collect the item.
