Why have we got so many mongs on here these days? Just look at his past posts, in the last 6 months there is not a single car related post.....on a car website. Not a single one.

Sod off to home and garden heads.

I had a quick look at his track record of clueless questions, and it is indeed rather dispiriting.

Lots of the people who post in the news room never post about cars either, as they are too busy moaning about nasty foreigners. I try to spread my nonsense and idiocy over many subjects, including actual motoring.

Surely you can complain to your local council ? They MUST be liable.
Or perhaps your MP - he might be able to help.

Alternatively, OP could stop being a tightfisted whining tt and just buy some more pillows.

Strictly speaking, the term should be FFFS, I think you'll find.

BV72...

Being serious for a second... if you buy something from a shop, and there is no opportunity to inspect - and none on display, does a brief description in a catalogue allow them to say "no returns" once opened?

But at Argos you do have the opportunity to inspect before you buy, the OP chose not to.

Ah, okay. I've never shopped in the house of the "laminated book of dreams"

How does one exercise their opportunity to inspect the goods before they buy?

If the goods are not described accurately then there may be a right to reject them.

Not a frequent user of said shop but I think there's a box you tick when ou order to see the items and then go to a separate collection point.

They'll bring an item to the counter so that you can take a look at it. If it's boxed and can be re-packaged they may let you open it to inspect, but this wont be the same for items in sealed packaging or bags. What would stores do with lots of opened stock that can't be re-sold?

Nice shops have a display model.

I think people are confusing 'having a reasonable opportunity to see the goods prior to purchase' with 'having a reasonable opportunity to inspect them'. If the purchaser hasn't seen the goods prior to purchase he cannot have had a reasonable opportunity to inspect them even if the seller offered him the choice of seeing the goods. The seller is merely giving the purchaser a choice of a sale by description or not.

If the goods have not been seen prior to purchase the sale must be by description. If the goods are presented to the purchaser prior to the sale and the purchaser chooses not to inspect them then that is a different matter.

But we are not talking about nice shops, we're talking about Argos.

It seems to be the OP's one-stop shop for everything!

I was looking forward to his "what colour pillowcases should I buy" thread, but feel it may not happen now. smile

I notice not many PH threads complain about Elizabeth Duke jewellery not being as described. I wonder why that is?

It's Chavgos, it's cheap tat by definition. They will be cheap and nasty pillows with some dubious filling. The woefully thin material will be keeping the dubious filling in place, the goods are exactly as expected.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

Sure of what? I think if I was in the habit of buying jewellery I'd have noticed by now.
