Alliance Cash&Carry

We use this store weekly - and last week we bought a slab of 20 Strongbow for the very reasonable price of £12.99!!

Hubby decided to indulge and the first can was still sealed, but had nothing in it - on examination we discovered a hole in the bottom of the can - for one can he decided he couldn't be bothered to go back -but the next can was the same (looks as though the forklift might have gone through them!)

Today I took my receipt and the two offending cans back to Alliance - the gentleman who looks after the alcohol section said he would go and see if he had any cans spare - however he could not find any, then told me he couldn't open a slab just for two cans (I volunteered to take 4 for the trouble) but no he told me I would have to wait until there was another batch of damaged cans then (and only then) we could have a replacement.!! So now the thing is Alliance has our money up front (and now also the two damaged cans) and we are expected to keep calling back and asking if we can have our cans back!!! Maybe I am being picky for two cans of Strongbow, but the two damaged cans made the price higher than advertised, and with no attempt at an apology I really do not think this is very good customer service..........what says you?????

Go to the top call in the manager ..you should have a full refund and some cans as an apology

I have sent off an email to the 'top banana' !!! I'll keep you posted as I was so taken aback at the lack on interest!!!

Thats Disgusting Karma......definitely take it further....
Ask for Rachel.......she is one of the top bosses......let us know how u get on .....

Will do thanks for the support guys :-)x

Have bombed the above off to Strongbow Customer Service - so watch this space
