This was a 5 star experience up until they only gave a partial refund with no explanation. I wouldn't have even minded if they had acknowledged their mistake and processed the remaining balance for the refund. Instead they doubled down on trying to rip me off. I explained very clearly my right (the right of thousands of other customers they have probably ripped off in the same way) to a full refund INCLUDING the original cost of standard shipping under section 34.2 of The Consumer Contracts Regulation 2013 which states "The trader must reimburse any payment for delivery received from the consumer, unless the consumer expressly chose a kind of delivery costing more than the least expensive common and generally acceptable kind of delivery offered by the trader.". They tried to claim that because they offered click and collect that this was their cheapest standard delivery, but you don't have to be a rocket surgeon to understand why that doesn't make any sense (hint, "collect" and "delivery" have two different meanings). Then they tried to claim that you can't cancel or withdraw an order after it's delivered, which is also untrue and the right to withdraw or cancel is very clearly spelled out in section 30.3 of those same regulations, specifically "if the contract is a sales contract and none of paragraphs (4) to (6) applies, the cancellation period ends at the end of 14 days after the day on which the goods come into the physical possession of (a)the consumer, or (b)a person, other than the carrier, identified by the consumer to take possession of them.". They finally relented of course, but still refused to admit they were wrong about the law and suggested that I was "upset" and that the manager authorized my full refund as a one off. The real reason of course is that their behavior was criminal, and they know it, and their ridiculous argument would not have stood a chance in small claims court. Avoid these guys if you can, but if you do get lured in by the prices, be prepared for a battle to get the full refund you're entitled to if you do need to return something!
