Hi @DrJuanKerr and others
Consumer Contracts Regulations (2013) replaces what was previously the Distance Selling Regulations.
As a consumer, buying over internet etc, you have the right to return goods without giving a reason. This is UK/EU law.
Therefore if you buy something over the internet you have the right to return it and get a refund.
https://www.gov.uk/online-and-distance-selling-for-businesses
Therefore an online retailer cannot refuse you a refund for a product you don't want (within a certain time limit but minimum = 14 days).
This rule applies to small businesses as well as large companies as Amazon.

Right to cancel
You must tell the customer they can cancel their order up to 14 days after their order is delivered. They don’t need to give a reason for cancelling.
If you don’t tell the customer about their right to cancel, they can cancel at any time in the next 12 months. If you tell them about the right to cancel during these 12 months, they have 14 days to cancel from when you told them.
