Sports direct

Hi All,
Advice please. 3 DAYS ago I purchased a pair of Goldigga Low wellies.Sold as a pair, I discovered today that one is a size 7 and the other is a size 8 I returned them to the shop, tickets are still on, to exchange or refund.I have not used the boots and have receipt.The tickets say the boots are size 7,which is what I want.
The shop does not have another pair of 7s and tell me they do not refund EVER for any reason.I was offered a voucher which I have refused.Is the action of SPORTS DIRECT legal?

  • No it is not.

    The goods have not corresponded with their description; i.e. they are not the size they are described as being. This is a breach of the Sale of Goods Act s 13.

    You are entitled to a refund; and if it came to it, there is not a small claims court in the land that would deny you this.

    Go back to them, tell them the law, and insist on your refund.
  • Thanks for reinforcing my suspicions.

    Did you speak to the store manager? If so write a letter of complaint to head office quoting or referring to the Sale of Goods Act. You contracted to purchase a pair of size sevens, they cannot supply so much refund.
