Let me just start this by saying that i am not a 'Victor Meldrew' type character who moans and complains all the time - i don't!! In fact i am probably just the opposite but this has annoyed me . Below is a copy of a 'communication' i have been involved in with Go Outdoors regarding a £10 refund. The post explains itself, question is am i being too harsh??
Initial Ticket
Posted On: 07 May 2011 04:00 PM
Hi, today we visited your Stoke on Trent store and purchased among other things a: HI GEAR ELITE KITCHEN STAND WITH TABLE. (Product number on receipt 503230767229). The advertised price (I thought) with discount card was £37 something although my partner was sure it was £35. On returning home we found that we had been charged £45. I contacted the store and they actually stated that the price in store was £35 with discount card and £45 without. I spoke to a gentleman called Justin who said that we would have to return to the store for a refund. As we actually live over 20 miles away from the store (Stafford) I do not really believe this to be the most economical way of obtaining a refund as it would cost almost that in fuel. I would have thought that in this day and age a refund could be obtained in some other way. I hasten to add that within the last week we have spent almost £200 with your company. In all respects I have pleased with the service that I have received in store from pleasant, polite and helpful staff, I just hope that this can be resolved in the same way. I can obviously supply a copy of receipt if requested and my discount card number is: ******* I look forward to your reply. Many Thanks, ********

Hi ****,
Its now 2 days since my original message and I have not had any contact from
the Stoke branch. Got to say a bit disappointed but I do understand people
can be busy.
I would gladly accept the refund sent in voucher form as I have no doubt
I’ll be using the store again or the one at Wolverhampton some time in the
future.
All the best,
****

Still no reply.
A short message to say that things are being dealt with would be nice!

It would appear that no one bothers to check these things after the initial ticket is raised. I can understand that people are busy but not to have replied other than the initial reply in the space of a week is not good enough. Below is all correspondence from when ticket ******* was raised. I am very disappointed with the service so far. An unfortunate black mark on what was generally a good shopping experience. Perhaps it is management to blame as the ground floor staff were pleasant and helpful!

Hi ****,
Apologies that the Stoke store have still not gotten back to you about this. I have not been in for the past couple of days and therefore didn't realise this.
I have sent it to the management at the Stoke store and told them to get in contact with you ASAP to resolve this matter for you.
On behalf of everyone here I would like to apologise for this delay and for the inconvenience that has been caused.
Please don't hesitate to get in contact with us should you have any further queries.
Regards,
**** *******,
GO Outdoors Ltd

Hi ****,
Still no reply at all from Stoke. Not holding you responsible just find this
level service as appalling. It may be that they hope that by leaving it long
enough I’ll just give up and go away.
What annoys me is that I have spent money there recently yet with this level
of customer care it puts me off spending more, I hope you can understand
why.
I'm not your usual moan and complain customer, far from it, I recognise good
service and as I have said before both times I have been in the store staff on the shop floor and at the checkouts have been great. Please can you look to ensure that this is rectified as it is now almost two weeks since this happened.
All the best,
****

It appears that nobody wants to deal with this situation.
What started as a simple request that in my opinion could have been dealt with quite quickly has escalated due to the lack of interest shown by the management of the Stoke store. The ridiculous thing is that this started over a £10 refund, but has got to this stage because no one could be bothered to get back to me.
Perhaps an email to John Graham - Managing Director just to inform him that his new stores management team is letting his company down is called for.

Hi ****,
Without Prejudice.
I am totally dismayed by the lack of interest shown by the company in
resolving one small problem, in fact not even acknowledging a problem except
for the two replies from you.
On Friday this week unless I have received an adequate response from the
company I will be posting all communication (removing any personal
identifying information) on this websites forums:
http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/
Whilst this may not resolve anything personally there will no doubt be many
potential customers who will consider twice dealing with a company that give
such poor customer service. I will also send a link to thread to the John
Graham managing director of the company so he can see how poor service can
be reported.
Regards,
**** *****
