Hi Elenor,
I'm not sure that blind people have a fundamental right to
be able to inspect goods before purchasing, although some
stores do have such a policy.
The RNIB certainly do not. I went into their centre in
Bristol a few weeks ago and asked to have a look at their
range of mobile phones and was told that they could not open
up any packaging as they would have difficulty in
re-selling.

Maybe I am wrong but I have been under the impression that a
blind person going in to a store has the right to feel
murchandise which a sighted person can see. Certainly the
John Lewis Stores will open a product and let me feel it, no
matter what the product and they usually have demo models in
their electrical department.
