Well, at least they are trying to correct the wrong. But $50 towards a future purchase is bull. $50 cash sent to you marks a good business. Yes, they're not legally required to give you back your money. But a good business will admit their mistake and correct it immediately.
I still say this business should be crossed off you guys' list. |

Yeah i agree,as you might not even buy another snake.More so another snake from them,Which is probably what they hope.
Have they given you anything to prove this £50 discount,Could be ages before you buy anything else.To which this discount might be forgotten about. |

Okay,was just asking if you no they'd keep their word on it etc.you might not buy anything for months,years or even lose the email.I'd rather have the £50 in hand.
Would you really want to buy from them again anyway? |

| Not really no, i wasn't even expecting getting a reply from them and i don't really want to call them either i was just hoping they could shed some light on the situation but as he said he doesn't know what happened on the day it seems like the sales assistant has just added money on to make more in a sale |

Well sorry but thats kind of a sh*it reply then.So they kinda did what i said then,randomly adding money onto things when they think they can boost sales/get more money from a customer lol.
And to boot,the guy that replied said he hasn't a clue really and oh well.they should of gave you a refund end of story.Seems like a bunch of clowns :P |

Yeah just ask for the £50 in cash etc :P be polite and shortish as you've already explained the whole thing.The law is on your side without going into it,plus a good place would have just refunded you in the first place.
No point really making a huge deal from it,if they refund you great.If not,just don't shop there again :) |

| 50 quid worth of equipment towards the future upkeep of a big snake sounds like a better thing to go for. |

Would cost you more than £50 in petrol to get back to the shop though. It is a shame they couldnt just give you the cash.
It does sound like it is one member of staff making a bit of extra cash. Who knows, maybe they pocketed it for themselves....
Its a shame because I regard it as a very respectable shop. Probably the only one in the UK to feature on snakebytes TV. |
