    Try returning at a different branch, you might get a more amenable manager

    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time

    Are terms printed on a receipt contractual? Given receipts are typically given after you’ve paid.

    If there are signs in store stating 7 days, I can’t see you have much argument. Pretty poor service though, although it’s The Range. I wouldn’t really expect much more.

    The actual terms and conditions on the website also say you can return items within 14 days. There is no reference to seasonal changes
    Most stores seem to extend the time you have to return items at Christmas, not reduced it!
    Different legal rights apply to online purchases regarding change of mind.

    If goods are purchased in store you never have any right to return due to a change of mind.

    Hopefully you aren't mixing those up.

    As above, stores may offer change of mind returns and publish their terms at the point of sale.

    We’re talking about their standard terms for in-store purchases, which are published on their website here: https://www.therange.co.uk/terms-and-conditions/

    Ok, the two different sections of their website contradict each other as well then.

    Another store to walk past..
    It's no where near Christmas.🤬

    Which TBH, many stores give a longer time to return items. Not shorter.
