Ignoring UK Consumer Rights – Refund Refused Within 30 Days
I would strongly advise caution when purchasing from this company.
I purchased a clipper blade which failed after just two weeks of normal professional use. When I contacted the company, I requested a refund in line with my rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, as the item was clearly not of satisfactory quality or reasonably durable.
Despite this, the company repeatedly refused to provide a refund and insisted that they had the right to offer a replacement instead. This is incorrect. Under UK law, if a product develops a fault within 30 days, the customer has a short-term right to reject the goods and receive a full refund.
They also attempted to rely on their own warranty policy, stating that blades are not covered. This is misleading, as a company’s warranty does not override a consumer’s statutory rights.
I explained this clearly, but they continued to push back and suggest misuse without providing any evidence. The burden of proof is on the retailer in these situations, not the customer.
Overall, this felt like an attempt to pressure me into accepting a replacement rather than honouring my legal right to a refund.
I am now pursuing the matter through my bank.
Very disappointing experience and not what I would expect from a professional retailer.
