They’re genuinely breaking the law by not offering refunds and advertising what they’re doing on Instagram? You couldn’t make this up.I am utterly shocked. My daughter brought something from the Des Vu Boxing Day sale today. She’s 12 and finally saved up enough pocket money and Xmas money to buy it however the size she wanted was out of stock, so she went for a smaller sze and she really really wanted it. I told her that’s fine we can just get a refund if it’s too small for you, until 4 hours after she had ordered & the Boxing Day sales started they posted saying it’s non refundable.
As a mum I was confused and annoyed; why wasn’t this advertised? I have a legal background so I know my way around consumer rights etc and I knew this was a breach of two laws to protect consumers. So I made a complaint to the trading standards, not just for my daughter, for the 1000s of other people who probably didn’t know the same. They breached the law by doing this so why wouldn’t I.
I then messaged the business on instagram, here’s the reply I got! So unprofessional and as a mum whose daughter is obsessed with the family I am so unimpressed right now, don’t think I will even tell my daughter what they said.View attachment 2652024View attachment 2652025 View attachment 2652027View attachment 2652028View attachment 2652029
I cannot believe a business like this can be so unprofessional? My daughter said it’s most likely the eldest daughter and her friend replying to the messages. Makes sense. What a terrible business
