I recently ordered a three-piece suite and was told delivery would be in 6 to 8 weeks time. After nine weeks it still hasn been delivered so can I cancel the contract and get my money back?

Probably not at this stage. Time is not usually an element of a consumer contract unless it is specifically stated and the trader’s statement of 6-8 weeks will just be a guide. However if the delay is unreasonable you may advise the trader that you are now making time of the essence and provide a reasonable date by when the furniture must be delivered. If it isn’t delivered by this date the contract may then be cancellable.
