LEGO Parcel Not Delivered or Refund Refused? UK Guide
LEGO sells direct through its own shop and ships with several parcel couriers. Where LEGO is the seller, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 makes LEGO responsible for delivery into your possession, so a missing set is a LEGO claim rather than a courier one.
Who delivers your LEGO order?
LEGO typically uses: DPD, Evri, Royal Mail, UPS. The exact courier varies by region, order size, and delivery option.
Whichever courier handled your parcel, your contract is with LEGO, not the courier. Section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 puts the obligation on LEGO to deliver into your physical possession.

LEGO delivery FAQs
Is LEGO legally responsible for a missing parcel?
Yes. Under Section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the retailer (LEGO) is responsible for the goods until you take physical possession. LEGO cannot redirect you to the courier because your contract is with LEGO, not the courier.
How long does LEGO 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.
A bag or brick was missing from my LEGO set. Is that a delivery claim?
It depends. Missing bricks inside a sealed set go through LEGO's replacement-parts service. An item missing from the parcel is a delivery claim under Section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 — photograph the outer box before unpacking further.
My LEGO set was an exclusive and is now out of stock. What can I ask for?
A full refund if a replacement cannot be supplied. Where the goods cannot be re-sent, the refund is the remedy and LEGO cannot leave you with neither.
Can I claim from LEGO for a set bought at another retailer?
No, for delivery problems your claim is against whoever sold it to you. LEGO's replacement-parts service is separate and can still help with missing pieces inside a set.
