Thanks to Bhs and Equator

Bhs recently launched on Affiliate Window and Commission Junction, and Equator ran a launch promotion whereby the first 10 affiliates to sign up and get links displayed would win a £25 gift voucher. Luckily, I was one of the first 10 to get a link up and won a voucher - I knew there was a reason I did this full time!



So many thanks to Bhs and Tara at Equator. I received the voucher in the week and went shopping today. I got a new toaster as mine broke in the week (perfect timing), and I got a teapot because... well, it was the only thing I could see for £5, and who knows maybe I'll start making a pot of tea whilst I ponder over ways in which I can better promote Bhs.

The only blot on an otherwise pleasant experience was that when I went to pay for the the toaster, the sales assistant told me "If you have any problems after 28 days, you need to fill out the slip and contact the manufacturer". Of course, that's complete rubbish because under the Sale Of Goods Act, my contract of sale is with Bhs and if there's any problems within a reasonable time, I'll take it back to them. If there's one thing that really annoys me, it's shops that make statements which completely fly in the face of your statutory rights. But hey, if there's a lesson to be learned maybe it's this: always buy online and miss out the weakest link in the retail chain - the staff!

hahaha...Yes the staff do talk a load of dribble sometimes, unfortunate that they get things wrong, I always hate it when you get one member of staff tell you one thing and then the manager tells you something else entirely...No wonder the customer is always right!
 
Hi Wayne - thanks for the comment. Yep, it all adds up to the impression that they make it up as they go along when that happens.
