Dyson Parcel Not Delivered or Refund Refused? UK Guide
Dyson sells direct and ships through parcel couriers for smaller machines and two-person carriers for the largest. Because Dyson is the seller, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 makes Dyson responsible for delivery into your possession — a missing machine is a Dyson claim, not a courier one.
Who delivers your Dyson order?
Dyson typically uses: DPD, UPS, Parcelforce, two-person carriers for large machines. The exact courier varies by region, order size, and delivery option.
Whichever courier handled your parcel, your contract is with Dyson, not the courier. Section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 puts the obligation on Dyson to deliver into your physical possession.

Dyson delivery FAQs
Is Dyson legally responsible for a missing parcel?
Yes. Under Section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the retailer (Dyson) is responsible for the goods until you take physical possession. Dyson cannot redirect you to the courier because your contract is with Dyson, not the courier.
How long does Dyson have to refund me?
Under Consumer Contracts Regulations, refunds are due within 14 days of cancellation. For damaged goods, a short-term right to reject and full refund applies within 30 days under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
My Dyson order is high value — does that change my options?
It strengthens them. If you paid any part on a credit card and the cash price was over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 makes the card issuer jointly liable alongside Dyson.
The box arrived but the machine or an attachment was missing. What do I claim?
Claim under Section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, not satisfactory quality. Photograph the box, packaging and label before unpacking further, and ask Dyson for the packing record and despatch weight.
Dyson says my machine's warranty covers the problem. Is that instead of a refund?
No. A warranty sits alongside your statutory rights. For a delivery that never arrived or goods damaged on arrival, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 route is the one to use.
