    • no need to use it. it doubles the size of the thread and makes it very diff to find replies on small screens too. just like @username it - sends unnecessary alerts to people. everyone that's posted on your thread already inc you ...gets an automatic email alert when someone else posts.
    • Hello all,   I ordered a laptop online about 16 months ago. The laptop was faulty and I was supposed to send it back within guarantee but didn't for various reasons. I contacted the company a few months later and they said they will still fix it for me free of charge but I'd have to pay to send it to them and they will pay to send it back to me. The parcel arrived there fine. Company had fixed it and they sent it via dpd. I was working in the office so I asked my neighbours who would be in, as there's been a history of parcel thefts on our street. I had 2 neighbours who offered but when I went to update delivery instructions, their door number wasn't on the drop down despite sharing the same post code.  I then selected a neighbour who I thought would likely be in and also selected other in the safe place selection and put the number of the neighbour who I knew would definitely be in and they left my parcel outside and the parcel was stolen. DPD didn't want to deal with me and said I need to speak to the retailer. The retailer said DPD have special instructions from them not to leave a parcel outside unless specified by a customer. The retailer then said they could see my instructions said leave in a safe space but I have no porch. My front door just opens onto the road and the driver made no attempt to conceal it.  Anyway, I would like to know if I have rights here because the delivery wasn't for an item that I just bought. It was initially delivered but stopped working within the warranty period and they agreed to fix it for free.  Appreciate your help 🙏🏼   Thanks!

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Caught shoplifting Sainsbury's but they also detained and kept M&S stolen goods


Recommended Posts

Totally stupid mistake struggling with money with 2 young kids no excuses so I won't bother justifying  just feeling deep regret and absolute fear for what happens next. Sincere moments of madness opportunistic and absolutely stupid

Caught shoplifting from Sainsbury's by shop lifting plain clothed detective (peanut butter almond milk chia seeds and nuts ) I only took 3 to 4 items from Sainsbury's listed above 

First time I did it  i have never done it before  

Was given a letter banning me took details but no photo taken 

I also had on me food items from mns that the store detianed at the same time as they wouldn't let me leave without showing a receipt as they said I would have stole those too (they werent wrong)

. I have been to mns a few times in the last month and done a similar thing always general food shop 

I left the Sainsbury's store when he let me go and left all the goods there mns.and sainsburies and did not return. 

M&s and Sainsbury's are on the same high street  

Questions 

Was not caught by m&s will Sainsbury's share my info and will m&s be in touch?

Presume they can check cctv of the time sainsburies detained me and probably find it 

No police called when at Sainsbury's 

Scared that mns will also ban me after the event  or worse check cctv and have my details and pass to police to investigate 

I am mortified at what I've done the detective did not mention anything about further letters / police or anything more other than taking my details and giving me a banning letter 

My fear is they have told MNS and now MNS will investigate aswell they may have their own footage etc...and go further than sainsburies did at that time 

Mns goods was fruit veg chicken cheese all food items 

Advise please what could I be facing 😭

Hello, welcome to CAG.

I've moved your thread to our shoplifting forum for advice on this. I've also edited the title a bit, please let me know if I've misunderstood what you meant.

Best, HB

  • honeybee13 changed the title to Caught shoplifting Sainsbury's but they also detained and kept M&S stolen goods

No they can't tell M&S nor will they bother with cctv. 

Forget it happened.

Any chance it could go to the police? I'm terrified they will pass the details across given it was groceries from 2 different  shops

Should I be expecting one of those RPL letters he didnt mention it but i presume its the next step they take?

not a chance of police involvement after the event

the police are not interested in small fry,

just the big organised gangs that shoplift to fund drugs.
