Item purchased not what was pictured

I purchased an item from a well known shop / website that displayed an image of the item.

The item arrived today but not what was shown on the website. I contacted the store who advised that the image must be wrong and that i can return it for a refund. I am really annoyed about this as clearly they should not be doing this.

Is this correct or should i be getting the item shown and what i thought i paid for?

    You give us very little information to go on. How does the item you received differ?
    Gone ... or have I?
  • Item was a dvd player pictured with 6 speakers, item received had 3 and in a different design style.
  • An internet error is all. Human error is a marvellous thing but they have done the nice thing and said send it back for a refund.. What more would you like ?

    You should be able to claim back all postage expenses as well as this is a return under SOGA, not DSR
    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.
