Ok, thanks for that, looks loke a visit to one of the tackle shops in the area when we arrive as the shops around here don't do sea stuff :mad:

I usually take out one rod and come back with two or get the new stuff in really late when everyone else in the house is in bed the things we have to do...

If my Wife ever decideds to have a good rumage round my garage i'm in trouble, theres only so many times she going to fall for the line 'oh that reel,......i've had that for ages'

My usual trick is to put the new stuff into old boxes, if she see's a new box or rod bag she will investigate, but with an old one she just ignores them

 

Mind you i'm gonna get caught out one of these days.

[Carpnut]

Hmmmmmmm

 

Dilemma

 

I ordered my rod and it arrived, BUT it's not what i ordered, i have been sent a Shimano Hyperloop not a Shimano Alivio, it's still a 13ft Fixed spool 4-8oz CWT and a quick search on the net reveals it's a more expensive rod

 

I called my card company and i have been billed for the cheaper Alivio. Not sure what to do now

[SandTiger]

Are you sure they have sent you the wrong rod? demon demon

[Carpnut]

Yup totally 100% positive.

 

I ordered an Alivio and got a Hyperloop.

In that case your legal obligagations are clear:

 

What if I am sent something that I didn't order?

If you're sent something that you haven't asked for (called 'unsolicited goods'), you can keep them, sell them, or get rid of them however you want, as long as you have not already agreed to buy them or to send them back.

 

If the person who sent them says that you must pay for them or threatens you with legal action, contact the trading standards department at your local council.

 

This does not apply if you have ordered something, but have been sent the wrong item by mistake - then you must return it or pay for it.

 

Sorry, but you did ask...

However, if my memory serves me right, they are under a duty to collect at their own expense within 6 months of being made aware of the mistake.
