Cooling off period

Options
I understand from some of the posts on this forum that there is a 7 day cooling off period under the DSR if you purchase goods over the internet or by mail order. Does this apply if you bought it directly instore from a retailer?

    No, it doesn't
  • Well it would if the dsr (distance selling regulations) applied to a 'distance' of 3 feet!

    Dsr applies to purchases bought at a distance so why would you expect it to apply when buying from a store?

    Many retailers do offer a period in which you can return goods to store (Argos being the most famous example), so have you checked the retailer's policy?

    The hint is in the name - distance selling regulations
