Failed delivery-goods returned to sender-refusing refundr

3 replies

Plankingplanks · 26/06/2023 11:09

Looking for some advice. I cocked up the delivery address for an item (put 37 instead of 38) and it was returned to the seller. I have documentation that states it has been returned to sender. The sender (a large business) are refusing to refund me the cost of the item. I paid a £10 deliver fee on top of the price os the item which I recognise that I will not get back as I made the mistake, but the vendor now has the item and my money which they are refusing to refund!

They say this is covered by their term nd conditions. I belive that their T&Cs are not in line with legislation as under section 29 of the consumer rights act they have not come into my possession, as well the fact that I have paid for goods and they still have them. Can anyone advise me of my next steps?

I am bloody minded and prepared to take them to court about this despite it being a fairly low value item (under £100). I said I would ask for a credit card refund via my bank and they said they would fight it as they tried to deliver - which they did, but they 1) are not out of pocket for delivery as I paid the delivery charge and 2) they have the bloody item and will no doubt sell it again (it's not perishable).

Anyone any advice on what to do next?

In addition, I offered to pay another delivery charge and have it sent to the correct address and they refused!!

If the goods where ordered online you have an unconditional right to return them up to 14 days after delivery! Their T and C's mean squat as they are over ridden by the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, unless they are a customised or one off product made especially for the customer.
