Well I picked up my very expensive Vitra toilet today. I was in a rush, I thought I inspected the toilet at the Plumbing Supply. I get home and the tank is cracked in the back(I don't think it can be repaired but it is not all the way through, but 3 inches). Also a piece chipped off on the lid on the interior(not a bifg deal). The real kicker is my friend was with me and saw the chipped interior piece. He did not say anything because he thought I saw it. The Plumbing Supply will not take back the tank. They said all special order sales are final, no returns after inspection.
I know this has happened to some of you. Any possible recourse for me? This toilet was $450 with tax. Funny thing is, they make you sign a touch screen. They don't tell you what for. When I look at the final receipt it states their policy, NO Returns in big letters and shows my signature, even though I had not yet seen the toilet. The sig is to confirm acceptance and take full responsibility. Also there were no signs in the store or shownroom. The sales person never mentioned anything of their policy.
I'm afraid I have little experience with a plumbing supply. I always go to Home Depot, and with good reason it would seem. I feel like I was swindled. Hoping someone has some good news I can try a charge back with my credit card company, but there printed receipts don't make me think I have a good chance of winning.
