    You lose your deposit, however you can argue that you should only lose the monies that they can prove as a demonstrable loss (admin fees etc).

    The demonstrable fee will vary depending on whether the item was in stock, whether production has actually started etc.
  • thank you so much, its a sofa that was going to be made for me and take 4 - 6 weeks, so doubt they have started it in 24hours but also doubt I have a leg to stand on, worth a chance though thank you

    OP, it might be worth reading this post:

    It's also worth looking at the Facebook page for The Range. I don't think customer service is their strong point.
