Crappy Cot, Any advice -legal or not - so dissapointed

I went straight to the specials page, saw the cot and nothing mentioned about factory seconds. I definitely think you do have a leg to stand on. Definitely screen dump and stand your ground until you get what you want.
All the best hun

Good work and good luck following this through!


Reminds me of a situation my DH experienced earlier this year. He noticed that a previously vacant shop on Collins Street Melbourne was being used by shirt makers Rhodes & Beckett to sell shirts at heavily reduced prices (just shirts on trollies, no carpet or decor, just a temporary set up). So he went in and bought two of them. Then he came home and proudly showed me and crowed about how much money he had saved. The sale continued the next day... he told a few of his colleagues.. who went and had a look too. Then he had a meeting with a client... and I could be breaching confidentiality here but lets just say that DH then found out that the shirts that he had bought were infact factory seconds!!!! The client said; "so have you discovered what the faults are yet?" DH was horrified! I went over the shirts with a visual fine tooth comb but couldn't see anything more serious than a loose button on one and a sewn in fleck of something brown (looked like a splinter, it was tiny... it came out). So no harm done. But there was definitely no reference to the sale being factory seconds! So caveat emptor (buyer beware) and be highly suspicious of heavily reduced items! If it didn't happen months ago i'd probably follow it up with Fair trading too.
