Misssold by an internet shop.

Hello.
I've bought some trousers from an internet seller after watching their advertising video. The trousers that have been delivered are not the ones advertised without the features advertised.

So, I think the trousers were missed sold. Am I entitled to have the post and packing cost for delivery refunded and should I be expected to pay to return the trousers?

Thank you in advance
Stuart

    Or simply a mistake was made and you sent the wrong type. If you didn't get what you ordered then yes you are entitled to a full refund (or the correct order) and any return costs involved.

    If they're the wrong trousers, you are entitled to a refund for them plus delivery and return costs. No need to play the aardman, they shouldn't pocket the difference.

    Thank you for the quick replies. While I was typing, all I could think about was Wallace and Grommet!

    Is there a particular section in the Consumer Rights Act 2015 which deals with this issue that I can point out to the seller?
  • Is the seller based in the UK?

    Chapter 2, Part 11 "Goods to be as described"

    (Although I could be wrong, I often am.)

    Thank you but I was actually referring to whether there is something in the act that says that I am entitled to p&p refunding if goods are not as advertised.
    Thank you

    I think that's in the consumer contracts regs.
