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