I was just sent out replacements, they never said refund at the time

UPDATE: Lenovo responded to my PP claim
I think I remember you saying you claimed for eb/meb correct? So don't panick. They may ask you to file a police report. Don't send it back or panick just yet. You've got this. If you told pp dna then of course you messed up, but I hope you didn't tell them dna.

nah I told PP it was MEB. if I need a PR then I'm fucked basically, the police do not issue reports for that as it's not considered a crime, so they won't do it. (atleast in my experience where I live)

I'm not sure if I could do it from a different location though, no idea.

They will issue one. You need to tell the police (online or wherever you report it) that the parcel looked tampered with. They will issue it if you mention tampered with etc.

Even for me if you only say dna/eb they won't help me. You need to mention the parcel looked tampered with.

can't do it online here unfortunately, needs to be in the station. I'm still waiting on PP's final decision, coming up to 3 days now so hopefully won't be too long.

there's a few posts in the other thread that says they don't. conflicting information now though, so it might be getting harder


RE: UK Refund Successes - HeardIt - 01-14-2024

INUI / Anker Powerbanks were a success, managed to double dip both as well. £400 worth of power banks for free. perfect for the SteamDeck

Still looking for suggestions for the following:
SMEG Kettle / Toaster

SN and POP.

I bought them off of Amazon about 6 months ago, so had that readily available. After that it was a simple 'Battery expanded' claim and the replacements were sent out within 72hours. Claimed DNA and got another replacement

for Zippo, was refund an option or were they strictly pushing for replacement? also what was the total amount?

I was just sent out replacements, they never said refund at the time

UPDATE: Lenovo responded to my PP claim
Any update on Lenovo? Filing a police report by mentioning the parcel looked tampered with should force pp to close the case in your favour.

No worries if you decided to send it back legitimately instead, I respect your decision.

Local police station would not raise one and I wasnt going to lie about the tampered box after having it in writing elsewhere that it wasnt.

I submitted a report on Action Fraud which PP accept, so now its just a waiting game again
