Hi Anton,

I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure that distance selling laws in the
UK give you the same type of consumer protection as if you bought it
over the counter: If the object is "not of merchantable quality" i.e.
broken or does not meet the advertised specification, you have to reject
it in writing. You can then send it back for a full refund and the
original seller must also refund your postal costs. I did this recently
with a laptop battery which tests showed was only half the capacity that
the seller was claiming.

Cheers,
