Hula hoop complaint.

My packet of hula hoops came with a clump of salt and vinegar flavourings and not many hula hoops. In fact the hula hoops that were in the pack were covered in flavouring making them inedible. It is a simple error of quality control (or faulty machinary) that I am sure the manufactureres of hula hoops would perhaps be greatful if they were made aware of this so this does not happen again. Will hula hoops send me a free supply of hula hoops if i send them back?

Probably, or you'll get a voucher to buy more hula hoops. Something like that.

Yeah, complain away. :yes:
People who complained about that sort of thing on "Short Change" invariably got a free crate of whatever it was, so you may as well try

I had that once. The packet was like 80% salt, 20% crisps. Think I got a free multipack bag of them..

(It probably is just that one packet though. I'm sure the machines are fine.)

Yes, complain complain complain. They basically ask you to do so by giving out so much information on what to do if you do want to complain :biggrin:

ahaha 'Short change'!!! What the hell happened to that programme?! I always used to wish I'd get a dodgy pack of sweets or crisps so they'd get me a 'lifetime supply'!

Hula Hoops Are Round, And They'll Stay Round, And They'll Be Around Forever!

I complained to rowntrees when I was 12 because a green fruit pastille was half black. I received an £8 cheque from them.
I complained to foxes cos I had an Echo that was missing its biscuit and they sent me a free pack :biggrin: (Echos are better without the biscuit really though, I decided..)
complain it'll be worth a few days worth of hula hoops at least ...

crisp packing is automated and packed by weight, so unless someone was on the walkway at the top of the weight and pack machine at the very moment when the lump of flavouring went into the top or picked up the packet at the random inspection stack after bagging ...

OMG Echo without biscuit!?! :woo: Sounds amazing.
I remember my dance teacher saying that she got a Mars Bar that was solid chocolate, complained and got sent loads of them. Id prefer a solid choc Mars bar anyway!
Hula hoops! *giggle* Did anyone put them on all their fingers as a child? (hula rings for the win) :biggrin:
Definitely complain, you will get vouchers or free packets. My mum complained about a pack of multipack Revels before (there was 3 packs instead of 4) and we got a £5 off voucher for any of their sweets/chocolates (they are made by Mars).
