Paid for an empty box

Mrs Garth Brooks · 2010-03-29 18:30:15

Bought something yesterday in dunnes, got it home, opened the box and it was empty. Paid €8.50 for an empty box. :mad: I'm so mad. What should i do? Should i complain about this? Obviously someone opened it up and robbed it but why should i have to pay for that? And if i go back, they mightn't beleive me at all. :mad:

Posters, continue this messing at your peril.

OP, take the empty packaging back to Dunnes, along with the receipt. You've nothing to lose, and who knows, they might refund you or offer you a replacement.
