Ikea and proof of purchase

[MARTIN3030]

OMG............6 weeks?

 

how many dodgy beds can they shift in this time ??

 

 

[surreyscouse]

still go through with it and then they will have to pay that charge as well which will teach them a further lesson. Not your fault if the cheque turns up before the bailiffs go in. For what it is worth, ikea have 11 CCJ's against them and have only satisfied two of them since september 2003. So don't be holding your breath for the cheque !

[Tygermoth]

11 CCJ! - how do you find this kind of information out??

 

lol

Thats very interesting, I was just putting it down to incompetence, but based on that info it seems a little more sinister. How can a company the size of Ikea act in such a way?

[stevokenevo]

Cant believe no one has mentioned it yet, but, I am more interested in how yooz managed to break the bed ;-) oooo-errrrrr!!

[MARTIN3030]

ha ha .......we were led to believe bad design/workmanship.

 

But its not a good advert either way for keeping relations alive......though some people swear by the sofa.......

 

 

You can access the cc judgements in a number of ways but mostly they are business/accounting associated sites.

 

If its a plc then they cant hide anything at all.

 

I recently did a company search and found details (by mistake) of pop idols Simon Cowell.................also the other week got some insider info of the finances of Virgins companies.............all 40 of them !!!

 

To avoid being libellous I wont add what I have found in these and other searches.......what I would say tho is that its quite an eye opener.

I couldn't possibly say, I'm a gentleman

martin hit the nail on the head. I have access to programmes which assist me day to day so hence the reason I can find this stuff out.

 

By the way, 11 CCJ's against a company like ikea means nothing, they are very cash rich and their assetts are obviously worth a bit so they would always borrow against those.

Very very true & even Harrods to my knowledge have had unsatisfied CCJ's in the past. but I still think it would be a good idea to start a register where these could be displayed thereby giving them a taste of what it's like to be refused business/custom. Many of these companies receive goods from suppliers who, because of the name, don't bother to check their credit worthiness only to find out later that they are in some recent cases on the brink of collapse. Also many customers have lost large deposits

[surreyscouse]

no ccj's for harrods in the past 6 years my friend !

[JonCris]

I didn't say there were my friend! but I know they did in the past including one that was for no more than £400.

 

My whole point is that these same companies charge us more % on credit & take a high moral tone when we default yet here we are and what they do they do with impunity because no one bothers to check on THEM. Why mainly because the information is not available to the common punter when I think it should be. That way we might be a little more circumspect about who WE deal with. Also if the register included verifiable examples of their behaviour they might think twice before acting the way we know they do every day

could it be that he has decided to pay everything now?

 

His applications for a British passport have always been refused.

He complains about his misstreatment here but forgets to mention he actively encouraged his sons relation with our future queen.

In some ways what happened after that, saved him from not only keeping his business here but many other things too.

One thing is for sure..........we wont see him on here claiming penalty charges

 

He is far to busy with other things.........capitalising on days that could have been but were cut short.......for obvious reasons

[podgydad]

Well finally they have paid up

[MARTIN3030]

Well finally they have paid up

 

 

Well done............thought it was never going to end.

 

Maybe now I bet you wished you had gone to MFI ? They are known to have gone for a better image these days.......and no doubt at all would have given a refund straight away.

 

My wifes relations live on the outskirts of Moscow and IKEA started building a warehouse there 3 years ago..........each time I have been there I ask why its taking so long to finish apparantly its because the contractors keep changing after not getting paid so the job keeps stopping.

I reckon here the same building would be up in 6 months.

 

Ikea cant even pay the money to build its own bloody store !!

 

[linchlosamkim]

Hi, i work in ikea customer services and happen to know that if you return any goods close to store closing time (10pm), kick up a fuss at customer services and demand to see the duty manager, 99% of the time, you'll get what you're after!

[MARTIN3030]

Nice to know this...........but the info has come a little too late.

 

 

[JonCris]

Welcome nevertheless

[linchlosamkim]

Sorry, wish I had seen all this sooner and could maybe of offered some help

[MARTIN3030]

Maybe you could but not to worry.

 

Take it you wont be using your staff discount for an Ikea bed tho..........

[Roger Mellie]

IKEA

 

Inferior

Kak

Ever

Available

 

Hehehehe

[podgydad]

Not to worry, we got our money back and purchased a bed from elsewhere but they have lost me as a customer for life.

 

I'm currently awaiting a reply from the manager regarding the whole debacle.
