I bought some macarons for my gf as she really wanted to try them.

I paid €26 for them plus €30 shipping! €56 total!

They arrived today looking like this:

Will you ask for a refund?

LeJosh · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:38

Yeah I would.

Rotty · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:39

too right I would

Bennie-Mac · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:39

I would but only due to having buyers remorse for paying €56 for a snack.

Thorper · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:39

They look like burgers that have been left in a fridge for years

It's worth asking for a refund or seeing if they can send you another lot for free? It's always worth complaining, is what my mum always says, you never know what you can get!

But did they still..

leave your senses quivering with pleasure. Their thin, crisp shell, slightly rounded shape, tempting colours and tender interiors draw devotees to devour them with their eyes, and caress their smooth surface. Their flavours solicit the nose and, when one bites into that crisp shell, the ears tingle with pleasure and the palate is finally rewarded.

Yep, you'd probably expect one or two to get a bit damaged, but they simply haven't been packed properly at all.

Scottland · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:43

Yes I would.

I would have also gone to M&S and paid £4

cainer · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:44

too right, you gotta get refunded for that

M&S do macaroons?

drunkenmaster · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:44

No, not if they've been shipped, you won't get them any other way, they are CRAZY fragile, we got some from somewhere local recently, I couldn't take a single one out the pack without cracking them up. They won't taste differently, they are really just so insanely soft/fragile, really damn nice though.

Nikias · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:45

Definitely. No reasonable person would expect goods of that price to be in that state. I suspect from: the website; currency; and your unexpected use of the indicative, that your contract was not made under English law so I can't offer any advice really.

Vonhelmet · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:46

Yes.

But I'd also be questioning what the hell I was doing spending so much money on glorified biscuits.

nikeair94 · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:46

Hell yeah I would. Unless I was really hungry, in that case I would just eat them.

Yeah, as of quite recently.

Granted they probably aren't as good as the ones in the OP (when they haven't been smashed), but still - big price difference!

For £50 you could go somewhere fancy and have afternoon tea.

Do they contain white truffle?

cheets64 · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:47

They look like ass burgers

Lettuce be real tea, they will have to be each packed in bubble wrap

worst I have €56 to spend on sugar thread ever

mithrandir · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:49

I've also seen Paul sell these - though I have no idea about the quality as these are not my thang.

EdGey · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:50

You paid 56 euros for some biscuits?

Will you expect a refund?
