Frequently asked questions
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 gives you the right to a full refund within 30 days if goods are faulty, not as described, or not fit for purpose. After 30 days you may still be entitled to a repair, replacement, or partial refund.
No — you can send it by email with a request for delivery confirmation, or via recorded post. Email leaves a clear paper trail and is often faster.
The follow-up template included when you unlock your letter can be sent after 14 days. After that, you can escalate to your card provider (chargeback), Trading Standards, or a relevant ombudsman.
The more specific you are — order reference, dates, amounts, and what you were told — the stronger your letter. You don't need to write in perfect sentences; rough notes work fine.
