    Depends on how you purchased it, if Online/by phone then DSR gives you the right to return, if you purchased it in store then its purely down to the store's returns policy but i would suspect very unlikely

    If you have bought it a week ago even the DSR's probably wouldn't apply now, You have no right to a refund at all if you bought from a shop.


    It is now second hand, try ebay if you really don't want it.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    If you bought online you should be able to DSR as xmas and Boxing Day don't count as working days so you'll probably be within the 7 days allowed.

    Even without Christmas and boxing day OP would have 10 days to cancel (not return) it. That would be 7 working days starting tge day after delivery :)
    However I suspect it was bought in store because I wouldn't expect an online order placed a week ago to be arriving very quickly given Christmas and Boxing Day.

    The Op needs to comeback and clarify,


    Andy my apologies, I stand corrected re the days.
