Claiming lost earnings on a replacement product

I ordered a washing machine, I took the day off work to receive the washing machine. The washing machine broke soon after.
The washing machine was replaced, I had to wait in another work day as they refused to deliver at weekends, so a day's lost earnings, can I claim for the lost earnings back from the company?
Thanks!

In many cases, a day's lost earnings is going to be more than the value of the product - do you think that's sustainable?0

No. Things break, especially when there are a lot of heavy wear mechanical parts involved like a washing machine. If you weren't happy taking time off/annual leave did you ask if they could deliver at a weekend for a charge?0

yes this was asked. And refused.0 -

In theory yes but you need to mitigate losses which may mean using holiday, swapping work days or having someone else home to take delivery.
I'm sure MSE has an article on it somewhere but it might not be as straight forward as I took 2 days off work so please pay me for one.
Certainly no harm in asking, whether you wish to go further probably depends on how much you earn each day0 -

But the issue here, is it is not a failed delivery. But a separate issue.Life in the slow lane0
