1/ Online returns timelines.
You have the right to cancel at any time from the moment you place your online order, and up to 14 days from the day you receive your goods. This is sometimes referred to as a ‘cooling-off period’.
You need to notify the retailer of your wish to cancel your order within this time period – by email, for example.
You then have a further 14 days from the date you notify the retailer of your cancellation to return the goods.
2/ Do I have to pay to return unwanted goods?
You must cover the delivery cost for returning unwanted goods.
We recommend you get proof of postage, just in case the retailer later disputes you've returned your goods.
Proof of postage should be sufficient evidence to prove you returned the goods.
If your goods are faulty, you shouldn't have to pay to return the goods. Read our section on returns costs for faulty products for more information.
3/ Can I get delivery costs refunded?
The following advice applies to you if your online order arrived on time as expected and you’d now like to return it because you no longer want it.
Notify the retailer of your wish to cancel the goods and return them within the returns time period.
After returning the goods, the retailer should refund you the cost of the goods and the standard delivery cost you paid to get the goods sent to you in the first place.
Your refund for the goods and standard delivery cost must be paid within 14 calendar days after returning the goods, or evidence that they were returned.
If the retailer has offered to collect the goods, it should refund you 14 days from the date you informed it you wanted to cancel the contract. So, this means you don't have to wait for the retailer to have collected the goods to get your refund.
