The lady with the monoblock tap recounted the tale of a TV remote she
bought there. One of the 'does it all thingys'. It came with a card
so you could fill in which channel was activated by which button - the
card had already been filled in.

I bought a DECT phone from them which had obviously been repackaged. The
giveaway being the batteries not in the usual vacuum pack. Luckily it was
complete and working.

IKEA are as bad.

I've got very mixed feelings about some returns policies after the
product has obviously been used. Different if faulty or returned unopened.
With lots of things it's impossible to check it's complete in the shop
when buying.

It's a great idea for things like tiles or wallpaper where you can buy
more than enough then return the excess - but those would be unopened.
Some seem to make a hobby out of buying things they have no intention of
keeping and returning them after having a play.
