Returning unordered goods

[marshmallows]

I hope someone can help

 

About 6 months a go I ordered some building materials. I have only just got round to using them and it turns out that they have sent some items and I have paid for these items and I never ordered them.

 

Can I insist they take them back and refund them even though some 6 months has passed please, or am I going to have to just take it on the chin?

 

I should have checked everything before now really and its not for a vast amount but just wondered where I stood legally

 

Thank you

I think you might be on thin ice here. I would have said almost certainly you could have demanded they take back those goods you didn't order and refund you had you checked the order pretty much immediately.. but not after 6 months.

 

I cant see any reason why you cant make a complaint to the company - explain that you have only just been able to get on and do your work, but I would be very surprised if they were to do anything other than say "your problem mate" ?

 

Would you be able to advertise them as surplus to requirements in your local newspaper ? Even if you were to take a small loss, at least you would be rid of the stuff you don't require and get a bit back financially !

Thought as much. My fault for not being better organised. I will take it on the chin. Thanks anyway

passage of time would make it difficult to prove or argue you didint order them unless it was a written order.

Gumtree or local paper to recover some of your loss.
