so a total disregard to your statutory rights under the 'Consumer Contracts Regulations' I'd stay away from retailers who think they're above the law.

back in stock, can someone unexpire?

Cheaper than a Samsung how the tables have turned!

If they have told you of your right in a durable medium

If they have told you of your rights in a durable medium - a website is not durable. If not you have 3 months + 7 days to cancel

Definitely hot,but expired now.

Ah, beat me to it.

I thought the Consumer Contracts Regulations states you have 14 days to cancel, then 14 days to send back? And you can cancel for whatever reason you like. The only grey area I think is that "A deduction can be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary." Ie opening the box. But then it goes on to say "The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop." So its a bit grey I think.

Totally incorrect for items bought over the phone or on the Internet, the above is for products bought in a shop. If you buy online you can return it upto 14 days after you have handled it, have a read of the Consumer Contracts Regulations (that replace the distance selling regulations)

been following these on amazon and seen them "like new" for £295 so this doesn't seem cheap

I've purchased all my phones from these guys. They are excellent. I've had to return just 1 of the phones I've bought as the battery life was rather poor. BUT, their returns are easy (and free). They do charge for delivery so bare that in mind. Plus £5.05 top cash back - which sort of pays for the delivery charge. (Might have changed as last time I ordered a phone was a month ago)

This is also a slightly liberal interpretation of the law. It would actually depend on why you were returning the item. The 30 day return period (not 14) is the time in which the consumer can exercise their short-term right to reject the goods. You are correct in saying that for this, it is irrelevant that the item has been opened. BUT, that right exists in relation to the goods being faulty, or not as described, or not of satisfactory quality, or as not matching a sample provided etc etc. To exercise the right, your item must therefore fall within one of the defined reasons for rejecting the goods. You are not afforded those rights in situations where you simply changed your mind about the product. It is in those situations where some retailers therefore offer you additional rights, e.g. those which offer a 'no quibble' return policy within 10 days.

The law seeks to protect consumers from faulty or fraudulent goods ONLY.

OOS

It's not suspicious folks, it's that usual time when Apple start to flood the market with outgoing models at lower prices from selected retailers, will happen over the next 2-3 months similar phones will be around this price from various retailers. This time last year I recall John Lewis had a big batch too.

The law says you can open and inspect the product and if you don't want it send it back for a full refund within 14 days. Retailer is saying otherwise.

Could you elaborate please?

Great deal

Very suspicious

New appears to be in grey only. Seems suspiciously cheap...?
