Model Zone

I went to the Trafford Centre branch and bought my son a
small RC car. When I got home, 12 miles away, it didn’t work, only turning
right, it wouldn’t turn left. (On a side note, this is the 2^nd item I’ve bought
from ModelZone and the second item that’s been faulty, that’s so far, a 100%
failure rate from cheap Chinese high margin products) I thought I’d take
the toy back to the deansgate branch because it’s closer to me than the Trafford
centre. When I got there, after the guy upstairs quizzed me on the fault, and
tried to find batteries to prove I’m not lying, couldn’t find batteries and
sent me downstairs to prove it, I went downstairs and explained the problem to
them. They (Paul wasn’t here at this point) said to go and find another, and
come back with it. When I got back, Paul was there (the other guy was busy)
after me being stood there waiting while Paul is doing nothing but looking
unapproachable, for about 5 minutes, he finally noticed me and
shouted me over.
He had an assuming and arrogant tone of voice throughout
inspecting the cheap £12.99 car. When it was proven that the car didn’t work
properly, I’d chosen a more expensive car £30, and wanted to pay the
difference, he needed me to sign a receipt, something pretty common in retail
stores now. So I signed it and handed it back. He smiled and slid the paper
back to me, saying no, — you need to give us your full name and
address. I refused to give my address, party down to principle of not
needing to legally, (I’d bought a product, it didn’t work, if I was homeless
with no fixed abode, or a traveller, am I unable to return a faulty item?) and
party due to his attitude. When I refused my address, Paul argued that It’s
simple, no address, no refund At this point, the other guy facing Paul as if I didn’t exist
said with a smirking face This could go on all day couldn’t it?
as if to indicate the futility of my efforts to get a refund for another faulty
ModelZone product. Paul said to go back to the Trafford centre branch this is
outrageous, he’s completely defeating the object of a store chain here, and
also suggesting another branch would do the refund when he wouldn’t. He also kept referring to the
branch as My shop. I explained if I had to go back to the Trafford
Centre branch for a refund, then the total drive to get the car, and then go to
deansgate, then to the Trafford centre and back would have been 46 miles, which
in my car the cost of fuel alone would have easily equalled the cost of the
product. He replied that it wasn’t his problem, while staring me out and
chewing gum in an aggressive door man like stance. In all, avoid this branch and if you’ve no choice, avoid the arrogant spikey haired idiot.

Stepping through the little door I’m transported back to being a kid, Lego, scalex-​trix and bouncy balls overcome me. This was the place you always wanted to visit at the age of 10 but there was never the time as your mum rushed from shop to shop.
Now at the age of 20 I can finally banish this demon and walk in whenever I want, I can buy a model kit such as one of the glue together spit fire models. I can make it this time to a good standard just as I dreamed, I can paint it with all the love of a child yet the dexterity of an adult (I hope) and then hang it up in my room. Before you think I’m a weirdo I haven’t done this, alas I have only browsed. Model zone has every kind of vehicle in this solar system in model form, with paints and glues gal lour you could spend a lifetime as a child here.
