Online Shopping - do I have any rights?

If you’re buying from an online shop in this country you have the same rights as you do if you go into a shop and pay for something over the counter (to learn more about your rights and responsibilities, have a look at the section Consumer Rights and Responsibilities.

You are also entitled to a few more things including:

  • Clear information about the goods you are buying.
  • Written confirmation of your purchase, which most companies send by email.
  • Something called a ‘cooling off’ period, which lets you cancel your order and get your money back without having to give a reason.
  • A full refund if your goods don’t turn up by the date you agree or within 30 days if you didn’t agree a date.

The Office of Fair Trading website has more information on this.

If you are buying from overseas, have a look at our section covering this.
