Package has been tampered with? Am I entitled to a replacement?
Hi all,
I was wondering if I could get some advice regarding this issue, I'm not particularly sure what to do here.
At the end of November, I ordered a Parcel of goods from Square Enix (shop is based in France)for christmas presents which consisted of the following:
A figure
A tshirt
2 keychains
A limited print hardcover book
I received my parcel in early December, but the box was quite beaten up, there was no invoice and the hardcover book was missing. I contacted customer service who took since the end of last year to get back to me (just this morning), and they said it was very likely the book was stolen from the condition of the box and the lack of invoice, that the box weighed as it should from when warehouse logged it, and that I should contact the courier company.(DPD) They also said that there's nothing that they can do for me either. I've already contacted the courier company to get some information, but I'm aware that under EU consumer law, the trader is responsible for the item until the item arrives at its destination and if that doesn't happen I am entitled to a replacement or a refund. Another problem however, is that the book is limited print and it'll be a while before its on sale again making chances that I'll get a replacement pretty slim I imagine. It also may be worth mentioning that the entire transaction was paid through paypal if a chargeback would be necessary.
What should I do here?
Thank you.
