    As title says. Visited a large tile retailer on Thurs and ordered tiles for various rooms for refurbishment job on house. Was a bit under pressure for time. Brought samples home and want to buy the tiles I think I prefer now in a different retailer. Tiles due to be collected tomorrow. Am I within my rights to go into shop today and ask for refund? Around €1,200. All sorts of signs up saying no refunds etc. I know they will refuse! Thanks

    You are not legally entitled to a refund on a change of mind.

    Change of mind = no right to refund.

    They might charge you a restocking fee -that's if they accept the tiles back at all.

    Ask them anyway. While you don't have a right to cancel, they might be obliging.

    Tell them you've changed your mind and don't think you can afford to do up the kitchen as planned. I wouldn't let them know you seen nicer ones elsewhere.

    No harm in asking to cancel, you may have to pay a restocking fee as it is likely they have ordered them in for you

    While you might not have them yet, they may have already shipping from a supplier.

    Depending on how "popular" they are, the store might help, but if they are a tile that no one else has ordered in a while, they might not want to get stuck with them
