Refund Request;Did Carpetright just riped me off?
notvaildname replied to notvaildname's topic in High Street Stores
The panels were ordered for home delivery, at the time of cancellation they still had 5 days till delivery. The panels were not customised in any way, just packets of wooden panels. There is nothing that makes this delivery special in any way nor I was made aware of it pior to sale. I was on the phone to customer service today and they still failed to point me in the direction where their cancellation fee says 20% its literally no where to be found. I understand calling it a special order if for example they sell carpet cut to size but not where its just pre-packed panels.- 7 replies

Hello Today I needed to cancel order on floor panels that had value of around £2000 there was nothing wrong with them, well beside the fact I found similar quality panels for half of the price so it was obvious I would need to cancel my order with Carpetright as I'm not made of money just like most of the population. I went to the store with my order confirmation where I paid for the panels with cash(the panels were supposed to be delivered next week) I told the manager of the store I wish to cancel my order and that's where all of it starts. I've been told that I can cancel but I will be charged 20-25% of the order value which added to over £400 just for the cancellation and the explanation for this was the panels were ordered specially for me(Special Order) and the store wont be able to sell them now. I was rather unsatisfied with the fact and said this is too much which was countered with the response that even offering 25% charge is a sign of good will as the store has right to refuse cancellation. I would like to add that they failed to show me any term and conditions that stated charge of 25% but only a short snippet from a leaflet that says I can only amend order within 24 hours. After few minutes of arguments and call to regional manager by the shop manager they offered me a check for £1800 which I accepted as I felt I had no options left.( it will be sent by post within 7 days) My question is was actions of the store justifiable? Did they have the right to charge that much? Is there anything else I can do? Do I have right to a full refund? I can understand paying for handling but the price they came up with was ludicrous.
