Page 1 of Bought a pair of trainers 2 days ago......

Bought these trainers 2 days ago from Oki Ni for £110......i dont usually pay this amount for trainers but i like the style and colour of these.

Tried them on today and had a look at the site again....Now only £55 :o

Thats a bit annoying isn`t it >:(

Surely they might have let a new first time customer know they were planning a sale?

Do you think its worth e-mailing them and having a moan or is it just tough-luck.

Cheers!

Skirpy, get yer head tested first. A 50p pair of Chinese trainers for £110-00. I wouldn`t give £10-00 for them...or any trainers. I like trainers but I won`t pay that for them.

gutted.. nice trainers, but what f***ers... I always keep stuff before i wear it, just slackness on my part.. doesnt help you though.
i was in the vans shop the other day and as i was paying for my shoes i saw that the other assistant was marking up loads of "sale" tags. so i said, these wont be in the sale will they?
and the girl said, "no.. i think its just clothes."

next day the c***ing things were in the sale. but because they are still in the bag in a corner of my room, i can sort that out.

earlier this year i bought some ltd edition puma clydes - with the dollar design from the Hanon shop. As far as i know they are all sold out everywhere now - there were 500 of them... they look a bit long on, but I have kept them in the box.. might sell them, might not.. i figure i wont lose any money on them (*note to self.. get something else to f***ing focus on...)

if i was you i would ring them up, explain how annoying it is, say you would have been a big repeat customer - not everyone pays over a ton for sneaks.. point out that you wont shop there again. if you do buy a lot, name drop or whatever.. they need people like you...

and then question them on how the distance selling regulations apply to trainers that have been worn - with the reg;s seven day cooling off period rule.

its gutting to lose over fifty quid over night. make it your mission to demand satisfaction.

trendy trainer w***er toss faces. i always like the shoes, but not the scene.

Return the ones you have for a refund and buy another pair....unless you have worn them out of course.

why take life so seriously..its not like you are going to make it out alive

oh s*** yeah.. if you havent warned them you have nothing to worry about

just say they are too small or something. then buy em again.

not a prob.. dang, i got to stop skim reading

Hi,

Thanks for the replies!

I wore them for 10 minutes walking down to the shops so now they have dirty soles, i normally dont spend any more than £60 for trainers and they are usually ones that have been reduced.

I get embarrassed going back into a shop to complain ....i suppose an e-mail wont be so hard to do.

Cheers!

write down exactly what you want to say, run through it a couple of time, out loud. then call them and say what you want to say. sometimes emails arent good enough...

Can you clean the soles?? Would not have thought 10 mins would have marked them much.

why take life so seriously..its not like you are going to make it out alive

Aren`t you covered by the distance selling act ???
It allows 7 days for returns,pretty much without quibble.
All you have to say is you tried them on,walked around a bit,and found out they were uncomfortable for you.
Wollop,that`s that sorted. 8)

These two statements are incompatible.
