Re: The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013

On 14 January 2022 I ordered the following:

Thread+Go sewing machine model 5400

I received the goods on 20 January 2022.

Under the above Regulations, I would like to cancel the order and ask you to provide a full refund within 14 days.

Please contact me within 14 days to arrange a collection or return of the goods.

Yours faithfully,

Sam Hoolin
