    More than the vinegar.
  • Perhaps the lesson you should learn from this is not to order stupid !!!! you can't afford in the first place.

    It's not the first time you've tried getting a refund on a very expensive order is it? What was the eventual outcome with Amazon when you wanted a refund on a "damaged" order for £190 of drinks?

    That was years ago and what's unusual about getting a refund for a damaged parcel? There are some very antagonistic people here.

    This isn't about a damaged parcel. How many times have you asked for help in this forum? I bet it's not once.

    I'm not in the habit of trying to get super expensive freebies.

    You've been very fortunate to get a refund in this circumstance. I'd expect your account to be flagged in case of future disputes (as Amazon did when they closed your account for abuse).

    Same here, but it's always helpful to know the truth before pointing. I'm glad you're taking the side of a tax dodging company. Do you have anything in common? Oh sorry, that has no foundation.

    Because it was given free when I refused delivery due to a change of mind a few hours earlier, not after consuming it. Have you never swapped things in your shopping basket at the last minute?

    The only mistake I made was assuming nothing could go wrong because it was a big company, and the driver had a kind nature, and 3 people were involved.

    By the way I finally got a refund after 15 emails, 6 webchats, 3 phone calls, 1 Twitter message and a partridge in a pear tree.

    Anybody else now even more convinced this is a wind-up thread?
