Will this be ok, do you think?

I ordered a coat for my husband that he had said he liked. It arrived and I wrapped it up for him. He tried it on this morning and it is too big. They have sent a size larger than I ordered.

Anyway, they enclosed a returns label (I paid £4 to have it delivered) and will send it back on Friday. Meanwhile I went online to their site and, lo and behold, it is half price! I tried ringing but obviously nobody there till after the BH. He really liked the coat so I re-ordered it in the the original smaller size.

I am hoping I will get refunded the full price I paid (as per distance selling regs, I think) but am hoping they won't refund half the price only if they see I have re-ordered and want to cancel the original one.

I didn't want to wait to speak to someone in case the Medium size sells out meanwhile.

So, it could be a positive result for me but will have to wait and see.

  • If they sent the wrong size, they will need to refund your full purchase price (including the delivery cost).

    The fact you've now bought another coat is irrelevant.
  • Winner!
    They should refund everything if they sent the wrong size.

    Sorry, that is where I should have put it. Not sure what I was thinking of. Hopefully it will be moved but thanks for your responses, much appreciated.

    They'll refund the original cost - I've done this before in fact I have just seen a present I've got for my mum is now vastly reduced, so it's reordered and I'll send back the new one with the old receipt!
