Some of you may remember my post a few weeks back about a polo shirt I purchased from the Open Championship this Summer that has fallen apart after wearing it for two rounds.

I took up your advice (after they had told me they could do nothing about it the shirt) and sent them another nice email outlining my rights as a consumer.

Low and behold - weeks have gone by and nothing has come back my way!

Very disappointed that the customer services department have simply ignored my response - despite getting an email back saying that they would get back to me within 72 hours....

Slightly off topic - I used to work at Homebase as a customer services assistant, so I know exactly how you should handle these situations, and by simply hiding away from core facts, is only going to wind up the consumer.

R&A, I'm not impressed!! :sbox:
 
Seems your in a no lose situation now. I'd resend email and then escalate via Twitter. Have you tried cc'ing the ceo outlining your grievance and disappointment so far. Sometimes gets a response.

I thought the non-cotton polos looked a bit dodge. The logo looked like it would come off in the first wash. I steered well clear.
