Lidl won't take stuff back with receipt.

I certainly know that I had a real kerfufle with Christmas lights that I had bought and the plug overheated to the extent of melting slightly out of shape.

I had two to return as I wasn't going to chance the second one going the same way as the first. Eventually they refunded me by cash but not after calls to HO etc.

So what were the 4 items ? I won't laugh honest.

Whats wrong with buying to sell then? Lidl or whoever the store was/is, have made the sale, and are still there with the goods at the original price (while they have stock) as competition to anyone trying to sell at a profit.

Lidl are doing the business selling more items than less, so that should help keep costs down and their turnover up, shouldn't it?

Whats a true purchaser??... someone who buys something, pays the price asked and takes it away rather than leaving it in the store unsold yeh?

Just can't see the logic of the comment, sorry....

Nothing as far as I can see. I suspect that poster was suggesting that they may be trying to avoid being used as a 'sale or return' supplier by car-booters. Many (most?) non-food offers at Lidl are transitory and some are themed so it might be difficult for them to shift for example, some motor cycle gloves if they were advertised along with other motor-cycle accessories 3 weeks ago and this weeks specials are all horse riding equipment.

Sure, I don't see why they (Lidl) should take things back with or without receipt for 'change of mind', but if someones buys an item (from anywhere) to sell on, so what?

Aldi have always been accomodating, never had any problem with returns, even for change of mind, but with a receipt, showing the price and date of the original purchase. Not me but I've an impulse buying friend, whose impulses often turn cold on the return home!

So if they are still new and unopened, you may as well sell them on ebay as Lidl aren't going to give you any cash for them.
