Proof of delivery to the wrong address which I have not agreed to is a valid proof of delivery ?born_again said:
Forget the chargeback. If the company have anything about them. It will be rejected as they have proof of delivery. (does not have to be to your address)Starekss said:So I did what you told me, I've sent official email today to the company, but no response.
I found email of the owner of company, sent him email, no reply either.
I called them but was instantly rejected, I believe they just blocked me.
By charge back, you mean I should do a card dispute ?
Which is all a non receipt chargeback need to be rejected.

@Starekss - if you're adamant that you won't go round to collect the items, quote s29(2)(a) to the seller: Consumer Rights Act 2015 (legislation.gov.uk)NBLondon said:If you didn't specify that delivery to neighbour was acceptable - then DPD have not delivered and the seller is still liable to either replace or refund.
I'd start with an e-mail to the seller declaring that a) the neighbour denies having the item and thus b) you require a replacement or a refund. Mention the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Out of curiosity, after @NBLondon suggested at 5:42pm that you send an email to the seller, how did you manage to: "So I did what you told me, I've sent official email today to the company, but no response. I found email of the owner of company, sent him email, no reply either. I called them but was instantly rejected, I believe they just blocked me... " and post at 5:53pm?
Or did you mean to say that you had already done all that before NBLondon suggested it?0 -
Honestly I think you’re coming across as extremely immature here. This is a problem you are creating. Just go and collect the parcel.
I’m actually surprised the neighbour hasn’t tried to drop it off or would you refuse it just to make a point?
There are a few things that wind me up in life and someone making life difficult for everyone, including themselves just to make a (pointless) point is one of them.20 -
No, you're not. You're in the consumer rights section. There's a difference which is pertinent in this situation.Starekss said:
Can you point out where I came across aggressive in my post ?PragmaticMoneySaver said:Or you could just behave rationally and stop trying to make a huge issue out of something that isn't there. It infuriates me how many people hours and hassle is caused by people just being incredibly stubborn - you're first post came across with an aggressive tone so I can only imagine how you approached this with DPD and the company. That kind of attitude only invites a similar response.Do a bit of reading into Betari's box....
I am in the "consumers right" section, and you came here to tell me why I should neglect my consumer rights, and just accept the fact that item was delivered to different address ?
"I can only imagine how you approached DPD" - another assumption based on what ? DPD was helpful and gave me confirmation in writing.
I only had problem with Kevin from customer services of CSN.
I already explained, I was shouted at within first 30 seconds of the phone call, without me being aggressive. I ASKED for them to contact DPD and rearrange delivery. They failed to do so. I asked for a refund and I was called a liar and pathetic.
If they would politely ask me to collect it because they accidentally agreed to deliver it elsewhere, I would collect it.
However, considering how I was treated, I refuse to collect it.
You are straight away assuming that I was rude because I was insulted by CSN employee.
Maybe you should accept the fact that I was not rude, and I was in fact treated badly ?13 -
I have sent last official email in the morning, I forwarded them statement from DPD that I have not agreed to leave my parcel anywhere and the seller did asked for it. I asked to organize redelivery or for a refund. No response.Manxman_in_exile said:

You don't know where I live, you don't know my life situation, and you don't know my neighbours.
There's a reason why I mentioned parcels went missing in the past with my neighbours.
I do not feel I have to explain anyone in the internet my life situation.
I asked for advice about my rights as a customer. That's all.
I don't understand why so many people are so easy to jump into conclusions without knowing the full story.

You don't have a contract with DPD. Your contract is with the seller.Starekss said:

If the seller can't provide proof of delivery to your address then you would presumably (if we have the whole story) win a court case against the seller. If they won't communicate with you then that is your only remaining option.
As others have suggested it is unlikely a charge back via your bank will be successful if the seller resists it.1 -
I contacted them via live chat, usually around 10-15 minutes wait, it's quickest method to contact them.Bradden said:
Can you please let us know how you contacted them and got a written response so quicky.. that would be really useful.Starekss said:Today I contacted DPD, got confirmation from them in writing, that it is the seller that changed it not me.
Calling them will result in longer wait.1 -
You have had advice on what to do. So thats all covered.
However this intrigued me.
"Now I had history with DPD, option to leave parcel on my app is disabled, and I told them multiple times that I do not agree to leave my parcel anywhere else."
As someone who prefers not to have items left with neighbours. My default neighbour has lost his wife and I dont want him bothered.
What was your plan if not home? (assuming you werent in this case)

Which is all a non receipt chargeback need to be rejected.
They are only card regulations, over & above consumer rights. So rules are set by Visa/Master card & are fair to both parties.
