Tile Company Sacks Employee After Amanda Holden Shares Furious Instagram Post Over Delivery Mix-Up
The Britain’s Got Talent judge shared screen grabs of messages between her and an employee called ‘Jack’ at Appleby’s Tiles on Tuesday after there was a mix-up with her delivery.The 48-year-old star vented that she was “so cross” after she was initially told she would still have to pay for a delivery of the wrong tiles.
Sharing screenshots of the correspondence on Instagram, Amanda wrote: “I’m so cross that applebys-tiles.co.uk seem to have no proper customer service.
“Firstly the order was under my name. We didn’t ask for a special service... Secondly the company have admitted it was their mistake.
“Is this saying I have to pay for tiles that are wrong? How is this legal? If they’ve admitted the error.” View this post on InstagramA post shared by Amanda Holden (@noholdenback) on Oct 8, 2019 at 2:50am PDTPictures from the online messages showed a member of customer service staff named ‘Jack’, stating they “do not make exceptions for ‘celebrity’ status” and treat everyone the “same”.
Referring to the member of staff by name, Amanda added: “‘Jack’ needs to learn some people skills and have a glance at the Oxford English dictionary…”
After the messages went public, a rep for Appleby Tiles confirmed Amanda had been “fully refunded within one hour of the issue arising”.
Appleybys Tiles told the Express: “1. We will refund the tiles in full and arrange collection of the wrong tiles.
“2. We will arrange an exchange for the correct tiles and out of courtesy refund the postage costs due to the error. However Amanda’s representative wanted us to exchange the tiles for the correct ones and refund the full amount as compensation for the error (i.e provide the tiles free of charge) for which we declined and again offered the two options above.
“In relation to this matter the customer has been fully refunded within 1 hour of this matter arising.”
They added: “In addition to this, we have made the decision to let Jack go based on his comments regarding status. We will be providing no further details in relation to this.”
HuffPost UK has contacted Amanda’s reps for comment.READ MORE: Amanda Holden Just Farted Live On Air During Her Heart Breakfast Show And The Rest Of The Day Is Cancelled Amanda Holden's Daughter Reveals The One Thing Her Mum Does That Embarrasses Her The Most Amanda Holden Completes The Most Glamorous Skydive Of All Time
