Hi all,
Just a quick question really about cdwow. I ordered a cd from them which arrived last Thursday. The CD was a gift and I have since found out that the intended receipient has already got that particular CD and so would like to return the CD and exchange it for another one at cdwow. Cdwow say no returns unless it is faulty but in Martin's consumer rights article it states:
"Under Distance selling regulations, you have seven working days to cancel after receiving the goods". Does this mean that I can send the CD back (it is unopened) to cdwow if I let them know today? If so how do I go about this? (I've already asked cdwow if they will let me exchange it and they said no returns).
Thanks in advance.

This is only my own personal opinion but I think you should be able to send it back for an exchange, however, I would expect you to bare the postage cost. I'm not sure how the exchange would work though, CD WOW just credit your account or something I would guess.0

Thanks for your reply.
I am more than happy to send it back at my expense - the CD I would like to exchange it for is actually more expensive than the original so cdwow wouldn't be losing out on money.Latest Wins: Mr Motivator workout DVD, 5 Itunes downloads, Ipod Stereo Dock, Tea, Ipod Nano, True Crime DVD set, Family Pass to Legoland, Eye Pencil, Seeds, Anita Shreves novel, £150 ASOS vouchers, Miracle Gro starter kit :j0 -

I didn't realise cdwow weren't in the the UK :rolleyes: Oh well, looks like i'll have to try sell it on ebay to get some of what I spent back!

I'd rather use Play.com or Amazon. I bought a CD from CDWOW years ago and it looked fake tbh.0
