Seems illogical to call a longer left side sofa a right handed one......surely?!
Except, going by the photo on the Dunelli website plus the graphic, I'd say you want Right hand.
Maybe, the "long seat" or "extension" is on the right hand (as viewed from the front and not while sitting on the sofa).
All we are doing is establishing that this is not simple and worrying about where the mistake happened is all extra detail that confuses the issue. All you need to do is get the return initiated under CCR 14-days. Do it in writing.
If you want to simply cancel and under distance selling regulations then the CCR 2013 that you should be looking at. If you want to reject the sofa as you believe it isn't what was described, and importantly you can prove this, then the CRA 2015 is the relevant legislation. The main difference between the two here is, with the CCRs, whilst it's more straight forward to cancel, you're on the hook for paying to have the sofa returned. On the other hand, you shouldn't have to be out of pocket at all with the CRA but you do have onus of having to prove they sent you the wrong sofa.1 -
Thanks Neil and Grumpy chap. Will return sofa under CCR as this seems the most straightforward method. Have highlighted in email that restocking fee is not applicable. However, as suggested by Grumpy chap, will accept refund less restocking fee if necessary, then claim back from Barclaycard. Will deal with return costs if necessary, but not too bothered about that. Thanks for great advice - much appreciated0

I ordered a Denelli sofa years ago. After a couple of years the very thin white leather surface started coming away in a couple of patches revealing a darker layer below. Given its relatively light use I asked the company if they could do anything about it - I didn't expect a replacement but perhaps an inspection and them to patch the relevant sections - the leather is in squares so could be patched. They just told me to talk to "Homeserve" who would repair it - at a cost. I could have done that myself anyway.
So although their sofas do look fantastic and much more modern than the DFS type sheds, it's a firm "could do better" on customer service.1 -

9. Our refunds policy:
9.1.

In such a case, we will refund the price of the Product, excluding the cost of delivery of the Product and any re-stocking fee that may apply. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Product to us or us collecting it from you. We are happy to arrange a collection for you where possible, and we shall discuss a collection charge at the time of enquiry accordingly.

They have the option of returning it under the CRA and not paying for the return. In order to do that they may face an uphill battle of trying to prove it isn't what they ordered. That's the cost of making vague "I want that one" orders instead of asking for exactly what you want.0
