For many U.S. mail, internet, and phone orders, the FTC’s shipping rule requires notice of a delay and a choice to accept it or cancel for a full refund. If the appliance arrived damaged, document its condition promptly, keep the records and packaging, and ask the seller in writing for a specific remedy. The shipping rule is not a universal remedy for damage after delivery.
What to do if your appliance delivery is late
- Check what was promised. Find the order confirmation or receipt, the stated shipping or delivery time, tracking details, and any delay notice. Save screenshots or copies, including later messages from the seller or carrier.
- Write to the seller promptly. Use email, chat, or another channel that leaves a record. Include the order number and promised date. Ask for a definite revised date, and clearly state whether you accept the delay or want to cancel.
- Keep the response. Save the seller’s answer and any revised delivery promise. If you speak by phone, follow up in writing with a brief account of what was agreed.
The FTC’s Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule generally requires covered sellers to ship within the time they stated; if they stated no time, the general deadline is 30 days. If the seller cannot ship on time, it must notify you and give you the choice to consent to the delay or cancel for a full refund. You do not have to accept a new date before asking to cancel. This rule addresses shipment of covered orders, not every missed in-home delivery appointment or an appliance delivered with damage. See the FTC rule guide.
If the seller says the appliance was delivered but it is missing
Record the date you noticed it was missing, the tracking status, and your contacts with the seller and carrier. Ask the seller to investigate and state what resolution you want. If you paid by card for goods not delivered as agreed, contact the card issuer promptly; credit and debit card procedures are different.
Can you cancel if the appliance does not arrive on time?
For orders covered by the FTC shipping rule, you can decline a shipping delay and cancel for a full refund. The seller must provide notice and the choice; the rule does not mean every late delivery situation is governed by the same standard. In particular, a retailer’s in-home delivery appointment, an in-store purchase, and state-specific consumer protections can raise different questions. Check the seller’s terms and the law in your state.

New York has a specific major-appliance rule
New York Attorney General guidance says stores must provide a written estimated delivery date for non-custom furniture or a major household appliance costing more than $200. It describes options if the date is missed, including cancellation and a refund within two weeks after the cancellation request. The guidance excludes delays caused by the consumer. This is New York-specific; do not assume the same threshold, options, or refund timing apply elsewhere. See New York Attorney General: Purchases.
What to do if a new appliance arrives damaged
- Document visible damage promptly. If feasible, before the delivery crew leaves, photograph or video the damage and packaging. Note the condition on delivery paperwork if possible. Do not put yourself at risk or interfere with a safety-critical delivery process.
- Keep the evidence. Hold on to the appliance, packaging, delivery slip, order documents, photos, and seller or carrier messages while you ask for instructions.
- Contact the retailer in writing. Identify the appliance and order, describe the damage, attach clear photos, and ask for the remedy you want—such as replacement, repair, or refund. Ask what steps the seller requires and keep its response.
- Read the applicable terms. Check the retailer’s delivery-damage and return policies. If the seller says the issue belongs with the manufacturer, review the warranty and contact the seller or manufacturer as appropriate. The FTC advises contacting the seller first and writing to the manufacturer if the issue is not resolved; coverage depends on the warranty’s terms. See FTC warranty guidance.
There is no single nationwide rule established by the sources here that requires delivery-crew inspection, guarantees a right to refuse a damaged appliance in every case, or requires a refund instead of repair or replacement. The remedy can depend on state law, the seller’s terms, and any applicable warranty. Do not assume the FTC shipping-delay rule determines what happens after a completed delivery.

How to escalate if the seller will not resolve the problem
- Send a concise written follow-up. State what happened, what remedy you are requesting, and a reasonable date for a response. Attach copies—not originals—of relevant records and keep proof that you sent the complaint.
- Contact your state consumer protection office or attorney general. For online purchases, USAGov recommends contacting the seller or site first and provides state complaint routes. See USAGov’s online-purchase complaint guidance.
- Report scams or suspicious communications to the FTC. The FTC uses reports to identify patterns and support enforcement; an FTC report is not an individual dispute-resolution service. Its general business-dispute guidance also explains practical next steps: Solving Problems With a Business.
- Ask your card issuer about a payment dispute where appropriate. For certain credit-card billing errors involving goods not delivered as agreed or not accepted, FTC guidance says a written dispute generally must be sent within 60 days after the first statement showing the error. Product-quality disputes alone are not billing errors under that guidance. Debit-card protections differ, so call the issuer promptly and follow its procedure. See FTC guidance on goods you never received.
A card dispute is not an automatic fix for a disagreement over product quality. The FTC’s advice to dispute charges in this context concerns something that did not arrive or was not accepted, not every claim involving damage.
