Faulty item - Hong Kong head office - return & refund

Options
Hi all,
I'm looking for advice with an online purchase of prescription sunglasses.
The website is .co.uk, the order was sent from HK & head office is in Hong Kong, I've just found out.
They eventually sent the sunglasses, problems with delivery & rude customer service, then when finally received, the prescription is wrong.
Have emailed requesting a refund as have had enough. However as they were sent from Hong kong, what are my rights in regard to liability for return postage & getting a refund rather than a replacement. Their T&C's state I'm only entitled to a replacement.
I did check the trust pilot reviews before ordering but have since found some bad ones. More fool me.
Any help greatly appreciated.
TIA

  • Well if they are in Hong Kong with no UK presence you don't have much hope of forcing them, how did you pay?

    I'm afraid you're bound by their T&Cs and the law of Hong Kong.

    Depending on how you paid your bank may be able to help with a refund given the item isn't as described.
