I purchased a pair of OFF-White trainers. I have worn the trainers for a maximum of 3 hours and noticed the stitching on the tongue has started to come away.
I politely requested an exchange to replace the defective pair, I had been sold only 1 week ago.
I was told by the store manager that she wouldn’t even look at her trainers and it didnt it matter?
She then said I was only entitled to a repair by a third party company or 10% of the sale price back in cash.
The fact that I was offered these options suggests that the store manager could see clearly that the stitching was not as you would expect to find on a week old premium product?
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 makes it an implied term of the contract I have with Flannels that goods be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality..
The “store manager” then basically said good luck trying to have my trainers replaced?
Not customer friendly at all! .. and I will be taking this matter further!
I had bought an item of clothing from the brand essentials for my boyfriend and the lettering on the back of the top had come off after wearing it once!
We had emailed flannels online for help and they referred us to take it in to the store which we did. Upon taking the top in to the store Sarah told us that she had never seen this happen before throughout her retail job! Coming from someone who has worked within retail through my teenage years this item was clearly faulty and can happen regularly to ironed on designs! So she clearly hasn’t worked in retail for long if that is the case!
She then proceeded to take photos of the item to send off for another opinion and told us to come back In an hour! We came back in an hour and was told that she was on her lunch break so was told to wait another 30 minutes! Appalling! We proceeded to wait for 30 minutes till Sarah came back off her lunch break.
She told us that the item wasn’t faulty and there was nothing she could do! Even had the decency to tell us to go to Sports Direct to get it ironed back on! Which clearly mean that the item was faulty! Clearly doesn’t know the law that was put in to place In 2005 for faulty items. The staff need retraining as this is appalling for a luxury store!
We went to Liverpool the following day and they sorted it out straight away for us.
If the regional store manager sees this, I would love a response about the rude staff in your Chester store! Won’t be buying anything from here again.
