I bought a TV on line on 23rd May 2022
I bought a TV on line on 23rd May 2022, to be collected from store, (Currys Plymouth) on 24th May 2022.
I went to the store to collect the item, but was told that the shipment had not arrived and I would have to return another day. While I was at the Currys store in Plymouth I noticed that there were no less than eight of the TV's, that I had ordered and paid for, actually on the shop floor. I asked if I could take one of those to save me a return visit, but the manager, Jo, absolutely refused. When I asked why he said, "Company policy, and anyway you might go off and collect the item from somewhere else and then you would have two of them"
I am the customer who has already paid for the goods but your manager Jo inferred that I may be an unscrupulous thief...
He then said I could buy the exact same one from stock now and get a refund, for the one I had already paid for, in due course but that the refund could take 14 days plus. He said I would only be able to have the item from the shop floor after 1900 (7PM) The shop closes at 7PM and there was nobody there to expedite the transaction.
Jo, the so called manager, was the only person in charge at 16.30 on the 24th May 2022 and is clearly unable to manage. Although calm, he was discourteous, and treated me like I was potentially a common thief. Clearly not management material.
for reference my order number was CUR2221127680 and my receipt number was 982394
