HOWEVER, if its really causing this much upset and distress is it really worth it? Take the oven back, give them a refund and draw a line under it. Annoying if the are pulling a fast one, but its not worth the stress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Frustrating when you know youre in the right but some fights just arent worth it. Hope it all gets sorted now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Looking at it from his point of view maybe he is legit and something has become damaged in transit and he thinks you've cheated him, that would explain his anger. It's just unfortunate and perhaps no ones fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Voice of reason   0 #18 Posted June 22, 2019 You've probably done the right thing to save stress. Perhaps only difference is ask for it back. If it is faulty he'll do it, if he's pulling a fast one he won't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
