Laptop quandry

[Renton 22595]

I ordered a laptop from Tesco's website and it got delivered yesterday, but no-one was in to sign for it so they left it in my porch which was unlocked. Fortunately bearing in ming it's NE6, it was still there when I got home.

 

I'm thinking off ringing them and asking where my laptop is cos it hasn't arrived and there was no note to say where I could pick it up from cos I wasn't in.

 

So I was gonna ask them for a replacement laptop on the basis that the one they left in my porch must have been nicked, so I'd end up with 2 for the price of 1!

 

What sort of comeback could possibly arise? Would they be able to trace the laptop that would be classed as stolen or what? Could the ip address be traced?

 

Call Tesco up and go mental at them and they'll refund your money and you'll have a free laptop. They gave me a refund when they didn't deliver it next day when they promised they would and then two days later the laptop turned up as well so everyone's a winner (apart from Tesco obviously).

 

And integrity/honesty/worth.

 

So you would have phoned them up and asked to give them back their £550 would you? Of course we all know that Tesco are full of integrity, honesty and worth and had the boot been on the other foot would have immediately rectified their error.

 

As has been pointed out, its the insurance company that will the pay the price (as well as the courier who probably thought he was doing S-O a favour). And what will that mean? Increased premiums and more declined applications from rightful claims.

 

You can't justify theft as being morally acceptable becuase it's against a large company. It's an absolute wrong which always has consequences for other people. If S-O goes ahead with this, it will serve him right if they become suspicious and track the serial number one day. What he's planning to do is no better than someone going into his porch and, well, nicking a laptop.

 

What I did didn't involve insurance companies at all and I have no remorse whatsoever about getting one over on a huge multinational which has adopted a strategy of deliberately trying to put smaller companies out of business.

 

I can see your point about getting the courier in shit where he was only trying to do SMO a favour but as for it being 'morally' right I don't think Tesco have a leg to stand on when it comes to morals.

 

Your case and this one aren't really comparable, from what I can make out, it's fair enough if they neglected to stop the delivery and gave you compensation as well. Tesco may be an unscrupulous monopoly, but in my book two wrongs don't make a right.

Get over yourself....I would be much happier if the evil Tesco paid.

... by doing what; sending you a new laptop, or refunding your cash, for example?

 

You reckon they would've taken any action had I not contacted them? It was them who deliberately misled me in telling me the laptop would be there the next day when it has since become apparent that this would have been logistically impossible.

 

so, what you're saying is that because your laptop arrived 2 days late, you're justified in stealing it?

 

What can I say? I'm a stickler for timekeeping.

 

I'd go for some kind of compensation for mental anguish and worry about the whereabouts of yer laptop while I was there.

Where there's blame there's an opportunity for a shit tv advert in between Trisha and Loose Women tbh

I'm gonna ring them and play holy hell, saying my home security was at risk and how can they associate themselves with a courier comapny that left packages unsigned and at risk of theft.

 

If that ewerk got a refund for it not coming next day I'm sure I'm entitled for one too.

 

After all home security is vital when you're NE6!

Depends where you are in NE6. Not too bad around Heaton, although I still wouldn't want anything just left out on the step like.

As others have said, i'd have been glad that it was left in the porch as its a right arse on having to go to the sorting office. Our porch is bricked with a window (with blinds) though so you wouldn't be able to see it, if the porch was one of those glass ones that you just step into i'd be unhappy.

You should just be happy you're eventually allowed to have a laptop tbh.
