Cancellation

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you have a consumer right to cancel your order and obtain a refund for any item purchased on this website (apart from the exceptions listed below) whether ordered over the telephone or internet.

• You are entitled to cancel your contract if you wish provided that you exercise your right to cancel no longer than 14 days after the day on which you receive your goods, or in the case of a multiple order, the last part of the order (other than any goods which you have pre-ordered which will have separate cancellation rights).

• If you wish to cancel your order, you must inform us of your decision by a clear statement (e.g. a phone call, or letter sent by post or e-mail). You may use the model cancellation form below, but you don’t have to. Please also quote your order number when advising cancellation.

• You should let us know that you wish to cancel before the cancellation period stated above has expired. If you want to put this in writing, this should be sent to us at Customer Services, Ideal Home House, Newark Road, Peterborough, PE1 5WG or email customer.services@idealshoppingdirect.co.uk.

  – We may withhold your refund until we have received the goods back or recieved satisfactory evidence of the goods being returned, whichever is the earliest.
  – You should return the goods to us at your own cost (following the Returns Procedure below) or hand them to us at our address Ideal Home House, Newark Road, Peterborough , PE1 5WG within 14 days of cancellation. You must take reasonable care of the products, and return them undamaged to us .We request customers to return the products with their original packaging and to ensure that the package is sufficiently robust to minimise the risk of transit damage.
