wedding list/ warrenty problem
Discussion
6 month old kitchen electrical appliance packed up, purchased via the wedding gift list service of a large online retailer with what one might consider a jungle themed name.
They say it doesn't exist on their system attached to my email despite the fact I can still log in to my wedding list and see the item as purchased.
The purchaser has requested directly that they sort it and been informed they will contact us - over two weeks ago. Nothing. They're in oz so don't want to bother them too much.
Getting somewhat annoyed... shot a snotty email earlier but any ideas where I stand legallly and what consumer legs I can quote, given I'm not the purchaser and don't have a "reciept?"
TIA.

Unless I've read this wrong;
A cheapskate sends out a 'gift list' and asks friends to buy stuff for them. Using the excuse of getting married.
One of the gifts don't work so rather than putting it down to experience, you actually chased up your friend in Australia to put in a warranty claim?

k me. I thought I'd heard it all.
This is a new one for me.

However, the OP doesn't say what it was? Kettle - forget it. High-end washing machine...well, he may have a point I guess?

A bit OT and not a dig at the OP however I've always found the whole "wedding list" thing just that little big vulgar.
Personally, I find the idea of receiving gifts you don't like or want and will throw away while millions starve in poverty more than just a little bit vulgar. TVR1 said:

But please, you've had your fun now anyone with any more wedding list themed drivelling internet heroics feel free to start a thread in the lounge or any other forum of your choosing and fight it out with some other bottom feeders, I'm more interested if anyone's got help on the legal aspect here which is why it's in the cunningly titled forum.

The legal aspect is...
You didn't buy it. Someone else purchased it. The warranty isn't yours. You have no warrantable interest in it.
You're a cheapskate.

Forget the wedding list aspect of it for a moment, if I gave a friend any present that failed prematurely, I'd much rather they tell me so we can rectify it and they can have the full benefit of the present.
Indeed.The rest of the nonsense being thrown around the thread is best ignored.

hing about wedding lists.Someone else paid for it, but the retailer managed the entire process and the gifts were delivered directly to the OP; also is the warranty non-transferable?
I think it would be interesting to know what the item is (and hence whether it's worth getting worked up about), but I don't see why the OP should be disadvantaged by the gift being purchased through a wedding list.

And you are being a dick in most other situations the gift can come with a gift receipt that allows the recipient to resolve these sorts of situations.The legal aspect is...
