If the answer is no, find a pretext to reject the shoes and order them again online

Would a real "Nice Englishman" suggest lying in order to get a refund that someone may not legally be entitled to?

I don’t see anywhere the shop have been dishonest. They were upfront with the price and the customer was happy to pay it.

they did not need to absorb the postage cost because there wasn't any.

How can you state this with that degree of certainty? :eek:

No. I was trying to be a bit sarcastic (and probably failing). Apologies.

I can buy a bottle of beer far more cheaply in the supermarket than I can buy a pint for in my local pub. That doesn't mean I believe I can take that bottle and go and sit in the pub and drink it.

Out of interest, how much time have you now spent "investigating" ways of getting the shoes you happily paid for originally at a lower price? You've probably invested more in personal time than the saving that could be made.

If there’s more than a £10 price difference this would be my plan.

I love that you feel this plan would work. Will be mighty awkward when they ask you to try the shoes on to find a better size and find they fit perfectly!

Unless the store terms state it's allowed you won't get a refund.

While not wishing anyone become THAT customer, it will be the customer not the shopkeeper who determines whether they fit "perfectly".

Anyone determined enough will usually find the retailer takes the hit rather than argues the toss.

That doesn't make such actions correct, of course.

Postage was for delivery to customer's chosen address- presumably her home address.

Online stores don't have to cover the expenses of a bricks and mortar and service staff ,including someone to measure feet, so can offer goods cheaper and subsidise postage.
