Returning clothing bought online-refund or exchange only

I’ve placed an order for some trousers online. Not sure of fit so have ordered 2 sizes. I know I will return 1 pair and possibly 2 if I don’t like them. Only just seen the following returns info on website “How do I exchange an item? If your not happy with your purchase please contact us as soon as possible we can send you details for your item to be returned, please note at this time we only offer exchanges on all purchases unless an item is faulty. Please note exchanges are only available for UK customers.” Can they do this ? Ie only offer an exchange Gutted if they can I would expect a refund Cheers

    If it's an online purchase you're entitled to a refund if it's within 14 days. Unless it's made to measure or otherwise specially ordered.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Hi yes they are uk based

    Everything I’ve read leaves me to believe u am entitled to a refund not just an exchange. It’s just comforting to have other opinions

    They have to refund the money if You are not happy with the purchase.
    Is an item purchased online which You did not see in person so You are entitled to a refund.

    You can also check the Customer Right on gov.uk ;)
    If You got nothing nice to say , don't say anything at all

    U.K. based as in a U.K. address or is it just a U.K. website? If you tell us the name it would help. Often people swear blind some dodgy Chinese site is U.K. based because it says co.uk at the end.
  • I don’t want to name in case in affects my return but the address on the website is
    E****a Clothing ltd London England

    Thanks

    Does it align with the returns address? If not then it may just be a Mailbox address.

    You've nothing to gain (or lose) by naming the company - that way we can give proper advice. At the moment we're just giving best-estimates based on UK legislation, but if the company isn't actually a UK company then all bets are off.
