Returning unopened TV to Tesco without receipt

[Atlas23]

Maybe I'm asking the wrong question. How about: can anyone create Tesco receipts?

AKA fraud.

Basically, I am morally corrupt, and am thinking of getting the current Tesco Direct deal of an LG TV + Xbone for £484, and plan on returning the TV only (TV RRP is £299, only want the Xbone, this deal makes it cheap).

Pretty much no chance, I'd say. They'll have thought of this.

If you really don't want the TV and want to save money, just sell the TV on for more than £149?

Hassle of selling it. Then possible postage. Plus I doubt I'd get much above £200. Which then wouldn't make it much of a sweet deal.

But it's the only way you're going to make money from this. Companies only accept items without receipts if it's a shop exclusive, I'm assuming this LG TV is not a Tesco exclusive, therefore your chances of returning it are zero.

It's an LG 42LB5500 which is available at various other retailers too.

You'd be surprised what retail staff (used to work in retail) will do to appease a hysterical customer with no receipt demanding a refund

 

[TheBDog]

After all the support you're getting for the idea, I'm surprised you haven't done it already

Do it, if it doesn't work poop through Tesco's letterbox (That's a thing, shut up)

I'd be willing to give you £200.01.

Call security and throw you out?

 

[neil_g]

no chance.

I'll quote you an email regarding the return of a Hudl2..

"If a store purchase we need all the details from the last line of the receipt, Date, Time and the 15 numbers
If it was a Tesco Direct purchase we need the order number and order date"

 

[Atlas23]

I'd be willing to give you £200.01.

With £50 postage and you have a deal

Call security and throw you out?

Unfortunately no.. because the customer is always right

 

[TheBDog]

I'll bid £200.015!!

Gotta make allowances for P&P

If the CS person is competent they will want proof of purchase or sometimes will allow for a bank statement showing a transaction for the same price as the TV (at any recent offer price) which you can't.

You might get away with it but technically its a scam and they would be within their rights to take you to court to recover costs.

 

[krooton]

Surely a thread about trying to defraud a company isn't a good thing to have on forums linked to a different company?

 

[InvaderGIR]

Apart from when they aren't and are obviously trying to scam the store, then they get told where to go without the refund they are demanding.

Ohhh maaaannnnn!! I'll see if I can get a pocket money allowance for this.

If tesco don't take it back, fleece it on an auctiony site. The issue you face is that this is currently a bundle so likely people will know this and not pay much, and I am sure this TV Model was recently on offer for under £220.00.
