I purchased some GHD straighteners and saloon will not take them back

I purchased some GHD straighteners and saloon will not take them back. On the receipt it clearly states:

"Unused appliances with proof of purchase may be returned or exchanged upto 60 days from date of sale. All other retail items maybe returned with proof of purchase upto 30 days from date of sale"

I purchased them on 3rd April and phoned the store on 4th to say they wasnt what I wanted. They said they wouldnt take them back. I have phoned again asking for head office phone number and they have refused to give it.

I have managed to find a link of there website, not 100 percent sure. Can someone help me word a quick letter please.

Also no where on the receipt does it state I cant take them back. No one will talk to me in the saloon so I am stuck with some straighteners that I dont want.

Thank you

    Debit Visa cards are covered same as credit cards as far as im aware, so if they don't play ball do a chargeback.

    Have a word with consumer direct http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Governmentcitizensandrights/Consumerrights/index.htm there are also letters on there site

    Awe you have made my day. Thank you
  • Have you opened them? GHDs have void stickers on the box, so if they're opened they probably won't take them back.

    There's nothing you can quote for the sale of goods act as they're not faulty.

    Yes but on the receipt it doesnt say anything about not being able to return them.

    "Unused appliances with proof of purchase may be returned or exchanged upto 60 days from date of sale. All other retail items maybe returned with proof of purchase upto 30 days from date of sale"

    I did speak to someone at trading standards and they said I am entitled to a refund as they havnt quoted on the receipt that they are exempt. There is no estrid mark... explaining this.
