    Should I name and shame

    I brought a second hand Left external mirror for my car (Cost $25) from a wrecking yard and when I went to fit it I found it was of no use to me It was off a ute not a sedan When I took it back they did not have one for a sedan and after a near argument with the smart idiot behind the counter he wanted to charge me a $15 restocking fee.
    I will never go back to that yard again I have never heard of a re stocking fee I am very temped to go public about it

    Yeah, I can understand your anger. I would feel the same way. Naming and shaming is frowned upon on this Forum, unfortunately. Have you thought about going to Consumer Affairs????

    BAD

    Yes I had thought about that avenue I can not express the anger over it I had been a long term customer over the years and had been responsible for a lot of their other customers over that I had recommended them to. I am not a vindicated bastard but I have my ways and means, Those Who I lead there in the past will be lead to other pastures The yards name is abbreviated **********. I will work it against them.

    Isn't there a website somewhere in Australia for naming and shaming? I thought someone noted it after the camper trailer debacle

    Surely they sold you the wrong part.
    You're entitled to a refund I would think.
    Or the correct part, which they can't supply.
    So a refund it is then.

    Did they have to order it in for you or did they have it in stock?

    Doesn't a restocking fee normally cover the costs they incurred in getting the part specially for you?

    This is not the place to name and shame.
