PSA - Remember consumer protection law changes today (1st Oct)

[Alansmithee]

Remember when buying watches (and other goods) that consumer protection laws changed today on the 1st Oct.

If you are buying watches the bits in particular to be aware of - are:

New consumer protection measures - including longer refund rights - have come into force under the Consumer Rights Act.
For the first time anyone who buys faulty goods will be entitled to a full refund for up to 30 days after the purchase.
Previously consumers were only entitled to refunds for a "reasonable time".

The Act also covers second-hand goods, when bought through a retailer.

Are you sure you’re on the right thread? I don’t think there are any sheep involved.

And don't forget from today - we'll be charged 5p per (plastic) consumable bag from today - though it seems rather confusing to joe public according to front page news. Sorry - I'll get my coat.
