I recently purchased a Hyundai pressure washer from Genpower and this was duly delivered to my home.
However, I could not get the machine to pump water. When I called customer services, they said the machine needed at least 14l of water a minute. I'm on a mains water supply, with decent pressure but when I measured it we only achieved 7l a minute.
I called Genpower asking to return the pressure washer under distance selling regulations, as it was less than the 14 days.
I paid for the £49.95 large/heavy courier return, but they deducted £130.00 "restocking" charge from the refund.
When I called to query this, the rep wasn't interested in my concerns it was more of a "that's what the computer says" attitude.
I contacted Pembrokeshire Trading Standards over the matter, and they stated Genpower were breaking the law with a blanket 25% restocking charge in all circumstances. It is something trading standards will be taking up with Genpower.
So I'm the best part of £200.00 down, and Genpower doesn't care.
Like I said in the title, the is the WORST experience I have ever experienced with an online retailer.
The only option I have now, which I will be taking, is to pursue Genpower through the small claims courts and file a civil action for unfair/excessive restocking charges.
