Read the T&Cs of the order you signed but basically if you initiated the process & went to their premises where you signed the contract then no. If you've changed your mind then contact them as soon as possible and talk to them.
What is the point of asking something like that here?
Why not just get on the phone to your local shop and ask them?
Seems like a plan...
Providing the order is just picked off the warehouse shelf and hasn't either been specially made for you or has already been shipped or something, I can't imagine why you shouls have any problem.

I don't think so, unless the method of ordering comes under the distance selling regulations.
Why do you want to change your mind?
well i was originally planning to fit the units myself to try and save money, but now i think id rather get it all done for me, i have a recommended kitchen fitter who has his own trade supply.
i got the quote in store then phoned up to place the order a few days later so have not signed anything.
does this mean its distance selling coz then i get 7 days cooling off.
yeah i know i'm a pain but i'm sure the shop wont go out of business!? lol
No I think that you are distance buying, no one has approached you to try to sell you anything so I am pretty sure the rules don't apply someone on uklegal would advise

No. Distance selling addresses the situation when you haven't had a chance to inspect the goods. You have, you went to the store.
Why not ask the fitter for a quote to install your choice of kitchen, after all it is only a different carcass, the principle's the same. Although he doesn't get his'mark up' on the materials.

Where did you buy the kitchen from? If it's from B&Q then I'm sure they will be fine with you cancelling the order - even if it's already been delivered, then I bet they would give you a full refund on it all.
(BTW, I am in no way connected with B&Q!! Just been 100% impressed with their help and service after fitting a kitchen and bathroom from them)

mark i ordered from homebase, i havent got any paperwork except for the quote so i'm unsure of the terms. i didnt go in to place the order i phoned up. do you reckon i could cancel it after a few days then i can get my kitchen fitter to sort it all for me- he can get units the next day instead of a 4 week wait. thanks ben
But why get off his arse and do something for himself when he can get

Regardless of how you bought and paid for it, I'm sure they will offer a full refund with no hassles. If they don't...well buy from B&Q next time!
Mark.
