ORDER: MDAOAEZQR
Dear Sir or Ma'am,
I bought a dining table from you. It arrived damaged and I would like to return the damaged table and get a new, undamaged one. I have filed a return claim in your website on 27th September and haven't heard from you.
How is this legally regulated?
According to the law, as a consumer I have the right to a decent product. If the product is defective, you as a seller are obliged to repair or replace the product free of charge and within a reasonable period of time. If this is not possible or is disproportionate to the defect, then I am entitled to a discount. This is stated in Article 7:22 of the Civil Code, seewetten.overheid.nl. The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) supervises these rules. You can read the rules at www.acm.nl.
What do I expect from you?
Because repair or replacement is not an option, I ask you for replacement of a discount of 200 euros.
Do you not offer a solution?
If you do not give me a discount, I will report this to ACM ConsuWijzer, the ACM consumer desk. And I may submit my complaint to The Disputes Committee. I trust that it will not have to come to this.
I would like to receive your response by email within a week.
