    Default WHSmith Book...NOT Received

    Hi all. Hope this is in the right place...
    Can anyone help....

    I ordered a book from WHSmith, waited for the delivery for approx 2 weeks, then emailed to see where it was...
    They said it had been delivered and left with a neighbour so I must go to collect it.
    Due to No card being left to inform me it had been left elsewhere and the 2 weeks my neighbour had had it without bringing it to me and the bad feeling between neighbours here I do not think it is my responsibility to chase this but WHSmith will not refund me for this?


    What are my rights? What to do now??


    Thanks if yuo can help!!

    You haven't had your goods delivered and it's not up to you to go hunt the neighbour. Tell WHSmith that you are still waiting for your goods and that if RM can't deliver to the correct address, that's not your problem.

    Apologies to people who I was in the process of helping, I may be gone some time.

    AIUI RM or the courier are contracted to deliver the item to the address you request. Them leaving it with another address is not delivery, WHS should send a replacement.

    The courier should still outcard though - otherwise, how do you know?

    The above post constitutes my personal opinion on the facts in the post compared with my personal knowledge of the applicable legislation. I make no guarantees of its legal accuracy. If you are in doubt seek advice of a legal professional specialising in the area concerned.

    WHSmith just say that it has been delivered, they have a signatureicon from a flat in the block, so there is nothin they can do. I must get it back.
    I have told them to write to the neighbour to get the book back, I dont want it from them now. Just want my refund.
    An letter suggestions or what i should do?

    Cheers everyone

    You don't seem to have asked the neighbour or does he/she deny having signed for it?

    Yeah, I've not actually spoke to the neighbour about it as i feel that 2 weeks passed and they made no attempt to bring it to me so dont think they are interested in giving it to me ....and.....I'm gay and the book was of a gay nature so dont really want to go and ask for it a im guessing they will have opened it to keep it? Dont want any neighbourly troubles really.

    It's not really for you to have to go a chasing your neighbour.

    You have a contract that says for the price of X you will have goods Y delivered to your address. You are still waiting for WH Smith to fulfill their side of the contract. The fact that it was sent to the wrong person is their problem, not yours. Basically, WHS are in breach of Distance Selling Regs.

    Write to WHS stating that you are still waiting for your book and to despatch it ASAP or provide a refund within 30 days tops. The refund must not be dependant on the outcome of any investigation, so they cannot refuse to refund it on the basis that they think you are lying - they must instead refund the money and launch a separate action in such a case.

    The fact that they have a signatureicon of someone else other than yourself should speed things along for them and in a way they have shot themselves in the foot by admitting someone else has it!

    If you get no satisfactory response, then it's a 7 day reminder and lbaicon.

    Good luck, and don't let your life be dictated by some bigoted hairbrain!

    good result, and sorry to hear that you didnt want to approach the neighbour as it was a "gay" book..

    far as i care its peoples choice, last thing i want to hear about is someone feeling sorry for their own feelings , cant see why there is discrimination in the world were all people at the end of the day

    sorry but its my two cents

    Please note:

    if ive been helpful kick my scales, if ive been unhelpful kick the scales of the person more helpful
