I recently bought a 2 part product (lets say a gutter and trim) I travelled 50 miles to collect it due to it being expensive to deliver (£60 approx) When it came to fit it the gutter was correct and the same gutter as I bought from them 2 weeks earlier. the trim was the wrong trim and too small and unusable and not the same as the trim I picked up 2 weeks earlier(6mm smaller). I made contact with the company and as I am not prepared to go out to change the trim as its 50 miles and 2 hours traveling They have acknowledged they gave me the wrong trim . they want me to buy new trim inc postage then send the trim back to them at my expense and they will refund the price of the trim only . I am happy to leave the trim at any delivery point local to me to collect and drop off correct trim . They are saying they wont do that and will not pay for my side of postage in either direction . The price to deliver just this product will be around £15 and the price of the trim is about £26 . My point is they made the error I should not have to pay for the delivery. (I have spent over £700 in the past 2 weeks in 2 visits) Where do I stand ? thanks in advance
