am I within my rights

[fruitsalad]

to return an ipod I brought yesterday just because I dont like it?

[owdhamer]

why did you buy it if you were not 100%

[B00]

Yes.

Whether they'll accept it back though is another matter.

[EvianBaby]

I don't believe you have any 'rights' to return something just because you decided you don't like it. If you haven't used it they will probably take it back though.

[hc4361]

Where did you buy it from?
Did you buy instore rather than online?

[jno]

they'll probably accept it... just won't give you your money back unless there was something wrong with it.

[annie0000]

Your rights are if it is a.

Not as described
Not of merchantable quality
or fit for the purpose it was sold for

Anything else as at the discretion of the seller.

[hc4361]

Not strictly true. If the store displays a returns policy then it must abide by it.

[annie0000]

Sales of goods act 1979 - still holds true, many shops give you refunds etc for other reasons, but you have no right to a refund because you changed your mind.

[DTCwordfan]

many do charge an unpacking fee which could be 20%

[fruitsalad]

because i didnt know i didnt like it till I tried it and could'nt try it in the store owd i am going to purchase a more expensive one if they will let me return the one I brought

[jno]

in that case they'll probably agree. But can you try the new one before you buy?

[fruitsalad]

I brought it from a store

[owdhamer]

good luck

[fruitsalad]

hopefully jno but they are usually sealed

[jno]

well, it depends in what way you didn't like it. They might have a demo one available.

[ummmm]

Is it a well known store?

[hc4361]

What store did you buy it from? If we know we can look at their returns policy

[fruitsalad]

currys

[jno]

Currys' policy is here

http://www.currys.co....tions-1043-theme.html

but that seems to relate only to online purchases (you're allowed to return stuff you've bought online sight unseen, but this wouldn't apply to you.)
