Purchase at full price day before sale

[Jane1980]

Hi, I just need some general advice regarding a recent purchase. Last Saturday I purchased an item worth £4,000 only to find out that it had been reduced to £2,500 on the Monday.

 

Do I have any rights regarding this or do I just have to accept this annoying as it may be.

 

Is there anyway that I could return the item saying I've changed my mind as it was not an online sale I don't know if there is any cooling off period - I suspect not as the item is not faulty.

 

I just need to put my mind at rest that there is nothing I can do about it!

Hi welcome to CAG you have paid the asking price on the so subsequent price reductions have no relevance to your purchase.

I thought that might be the case. I was just really annoyed by it as it is such a significant reduction!!!

 

I did maybe think that as it is a big retailer whether it might be worth e-mailing head office to see if they would do anything as a goodwill gesture - but I doubt it.

They are not obliged to give you a refund for cancelling the item if it is not faulty, however it would be worth having a read over their terms and conditions as they may have a returns policy which allows you to return goods within a certain amount of days.

Tis worth a try if you don't ask you will never know:!:

Was it purchased on line or in a shop?

If a shop, were there not signs advertising the impending sale? Also strange the assistant did not mention it! but maybe they get commission.

Can you find anything wrong with it?

It was bought in a shop on the Saturday. The sale was advertised online from the Sunday & no advertising in the shop was present at the time of purchase.

 

What I found the most annoying was I had been considering the purchase over a number of weeks & dealt with the same person in this time. Obviously I am kicking myself now for being so impulsive but I would have appreciated a heads up. I guess as you say, a sale at full price is worth more than anything else.
