Returned a sale item day after purchase, (rules are return within 14 days to receive a credit gift card) to b told I had to choose something from the store as there were problems with credit gift cards. I couldn't find anything suitable and asked for a refund which was refused. I then had 13 days to find something I wished to purchase. Very unhappy with this poor service I rang the M and Co number on the receipt. I was fortunate enough to speak to Derek, who said stores had previously been advised to give refunds until the gift cards were available. He undertook to speak to the store concerned to reiterate the temporary arrangements - then followed this up with an e mail for me to take to the store, which confirmed that I should be given a refund. M and Co are fortunate to have someone like him, who retrieved the situation following the very poor standard of service I had received in store. Thank you Derek.
