If you’ve ordered something and it’s taking longer than expected to arrive, you might feel frustrated. It’s important to know that you have rights as a consumer, and one way to assert those rights is by setting a clear deadline for the delivery of your goods.
When you tell a seller that “time is of the essence,” you’re letting them know that it’s crucial for them to meet the delivery deadline. This can help speed up the process and ensure you receive what you paid for.
Sample Letter to Set a Deadline
Here’s a simple template you can use to inform a trader about your deadline:
Your Name
Your Address
Your Email
Your Phone Number
Trader’s Name
Trader’s Address
Date
To whom it may concern,
I ordered the following item on [insert order date]:
[Insert item details here]
As of today, I have not yet received my order. I am now setting a deadline for you to deliver the goods within the next 14 days. If I do not receive the goods by this date, I will consider this a breach of contract and may seek a full refund.
Please contact me to confirm the delivery arrangements.
Thank you,
[Your Name]
What to Do Next
Once you’ve sent your letter, it’s a good idea to keep a record of it. If the trader still doesn’t deliver within the specified time, you can take further action, such as requesting a refund or filing a complaint. If you’re in Northern Ireland, contact Consumerline for assistance with your complaint.
Remember, you have the right to receive the goods you paid for, and setting a deadline is a way to protect that right. Don’t hesitate to take action if you feel your order is being delayed unfairly.
