Hey guys,

I bought some pillows from argos and ive opened them to see what they are like.

Ive took them out and they are far too flat for my liking and i want to return them. It said on a sticker i cant return once opening due to hygiene reasons unless faulty. What could i say to argos to allow me to return?

Not much. If they aren't faulty, they didnt misrepresent what that are and if you bought them in store then they are yours and they have no obligation to let you return them.

I did the same with a pair of pants- don't get me wrong, they were amazingly comfortable- I merely had too much beer, a strong curry, and 'let go out back'.
Strangely, I couldnt return them- something about being full of putrid bum gravy or somesuch nonsense.

In the end, I tried to claim on my insurance, and then I was told that I couldn't, because "it wasn't exactly an accident".

It bloody was- I honestly thought it was a fart.

if you are going to defraud argos it may as well be for something more than a pair of pillows
