I would write a report and sometimes refused to take the goods back if they were damaged by the customer, despite their claiming otherwise.If the complaint was genuine there was an immediate rebate. But there are hidden dangers when a young fairly innocent man goes alone to inspect goods at customers houses.</blockquote>
