Statutory rights to Amazon "no returns on this item"

I bought what I thought was 28 packs of dog food and received 7..A very misleading description caused this. I have not opened any of the packs and tried to return them but Amazon say these are non returnable.
They are not in the "personal use etc" category -what are my rights under the distance selling rules?

It’s the consumer contract regulations now.
https://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/regulation/consumer-contracts-regulations-ajWHC8m21cAk#cancelling-goods-and-servicesOn the face of it you should be entitled to a refund although you may need to pay for the return.What reason has Amazon given for them being non returnable?
Did you buy from amazon or a third party seller?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

They may be classed as a perishable product, which will mean there is not an automatic right to a refund.
As food, this is likely how they're classified.💙💛 💔2 -
And the reason given?Do you need to request the refund from the seller rather than from Amazon? Where is the seller based?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Get onto amazon chat and make a big fuss about how you've paid over the odds, you expected this and got that, you're on a limited income, etc. Really lay it on thick. I've had success doing that in the past, sometimes they've given me my money back to just get me off the chat.
