I was meaning after the sofa had been accepted and used.

In that case there would be no issue. What other people do with their money, and what financial decisions they make, isn't really anyone's concern but the OP's. She's an adult like all of us are.

She could probably sell it on again as nearly new in that case anyway. I've been in situations like that and usually managed to find something to flog.

Since this site is 'moneysavingsexpert' where people go for financial advice your comment is unbelievable. The OP obviously feels really bad about the situation and may be in a difficult financial situation due to her purchase. She posted for advice and therefore invited me to make it my business.

As for selling the sofa as nearly new. She would only get a fraction of the cost back.

hi again everyone. i just want to say thankyou all for your help! i have definately learnt a lesson from this.

I am currently awaiting the seller to cancel the transaction with me as they said they would. hoepfully they will do it soon.

If for any reason they do not keep to their promise of cancelling it on their end would i be able to do it on my end? i dont think it will come to that but im just asking in advance if it does

Just refuse to accept it when it comes, as the carrier might already be out. Don't sign anything, if they feel you should, put "order cancelled as per dsr, delivery refused, return to supplier".
If it's electroinc, put "refused delivery" in the signature.

Then post back up.

It happens, you have rights, and the seller knows you have.
To be fair to the seller, I wouldn't cancel until the carrier has returned it, what's to stop you taking the money, then signing for the sofa as well?

oh i see your point. that would make sense. if the delivery blokes come with it tomorrow then i will just refuse it like you said. I was hoping they would be able to stop it being sent all this way though just for me to turn arouns and say i dont want it becuase i dont want them to have to pay to delivery soemthing that isnt going to be delivered.

will just have to see if they turn up tomorrow or not.

If nothing else hopefully you will learn from this experience and not buy things that will leave you too short of funds to be able to deal with other expenses that crops up.

How patronising.
