Amazon

i ordered something on amazon today £60 worth of scooter (fliker ones)

cancelled it within 1 hour due to reading about how small it was and it wasnt red but pink

anyway amazon emailed to say succesful cancellation but the money has been "ringfenced" so to speak..

they say 3-5 working days for this to be dropped so do the bank.. anybody had any experience of this??

    That sounds about right. This is one of those things that is often overlooked about the DSRs, yes you have the right to cancel but as long as you end up eventually in the position you were before you ordered and paid then that is all that is required.
