Morty, my friend bought the present with her own JL Vouchers and doesn't have the receipt. I asked them earlier about it. So, with no PoP I will go direct to the manufacturer.

Not really relevant though is it;)0 -
retaillers do store info but mainly electronically and centrally do comply with data protection which benefits us all. If you give them all the info you can such as when the gift was given, that it was paid for in vouchers etc they may be able to help you. As a retail manager, ( with breasts!!) I am always more willing to help people who ask politely in your circumstances than those who come charging up to me all guns blazing. Retailers are not normally compensated for the costs of processing returns, such as man hours and transport, hence why they ask for POP. It also confirms the item is within its warranty. Hope this helps.0

I think you will find that consumer law applies between the seller and the purchaser - you were neither - JL only have a contract with the relative wh gifted the radio to youJohn0

The goods were a gift
If you receive goods as a gift and they are faulty, do not match their description or aren't fit for purpose for which you bought them, the person who actually bought them should be the one to make the complaint. However, you can make a complaint to the trader yourself, as long as the person who bought the goods for you told the trader when they bought them that they were going to be given to you.
Ideally, your name should be written on a receipt, invoice or guarantee card as proof that the goods belong to you. If arrangements were made to deliver the goods to you, rather than the person who bought them for you, this could also be used as proof.

I have managed (not with JL) to exchange something without a receipt, that was paid for by cash. However, it is a long process for the cashier to go through.0
