like i've said about 3 times, its not just about the first purchase being wrong. its because the shop are too cheap to stand by their own advice and expect people to buy things at full price twice if their advice is wrong.

you might want to think about why I decided to post something about it. to get sympathy? no. so that retailers learn that dodgy behaviour doesn't pay and they need to learn to treat their customers right.

this thread has been viewed more than 2000 times and likely by several hundred people. WWS I don't really care what your opinion is about whether I "lost" or not, you obviously don't get it.
