Returning condoms!

I recently bought a box of condoms from an online store (mentioned here in the past). Basically they sent the wrong ones.

So I emailed them and as expected they said return them and they will send out the correct ones.

The thing is I am not really happy with this. The idea that they are going to take condoms back. That means the condoms they send out might have been sent to someone else before. Who knows what might have been done with them.

At the same time I completly understand they don't want to just send out another box.

Any thoughts on this?

    Presumably they're shrinkwrapped boxes though?
  • No, it is one larger bulk box with the condoms just in loose strips of 3

    Staple them individually to the inside of the box?....

    I doubt that they would take the risk of sending them out again. I suspect that it would just be a procedure to stop people getting freebies.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    It's not like they've actually been used, is it?
    To satisfy my curiosity, why were they the 'wrong ones'? Were they too big?

  • whitewing, I would hope so - but not entirley sure. Think I might just send them back and ask for a refund.

    maninthestreet, if you must know they sent durex "extra safe" ones which are too thick.
  • It's not like they've actually been used, is it?

    No, and it's not these ones that are the problem but the replacement ones they send me; who knows if they have been returned by someone else who decided it might be funny to stick a needle through a few of them.

    Personally.....I think that they sent condoms that were far too big.

    The OP should have said he wanted the SMALLEST size available! :rotfl:

    somethings you cant resell, although they are often passed on to other firms that do resell them

    One of the firms I used to work with sent all their 2nds & returns to wilkinsons

    make sure they pay for the return postage
