Two Issues ?

[Deleted User]

Morning all, hope you may be able to advise me.

I have two issues.

1. Ordered a product for our business, next day delivery, so ordered before 10am as per the terms of the supplier. Delivery did not come next day, instead will be Monday (tomorrow) 3 days later. Not a courier fault, it's the suppliers fault. They did offer Saturday delivery but it was too late and I had to go out and buy £100's of pounds worth of supplies from retail, costing me double if not more. What can I do about this as it seems very unfair.

2. Rent a secure office and unit, gates have been broken for weeks, sometimes denying access for hours, and sometime being open for days on end. I'm paying rent, what should I be doing asking them for the money back?

Just feel that sometimes people take advantage.

Any ideas appreciated.

1. Order earlier, or if you are forced into a last minute purchase, buy from cash & carry/retail as you appear to have done.

2. Probably better to ask them to fix the gates

1. You are bound by your contract what does it say regarding late delivery?


2. Have you suffered a loss due to the faulty gates,? What does lease say?


As a business you need to read your contracts especially leases on property, no one here can do that for you so it's impossible to say what your options are.
