I want to return an unwanted item

The Distance Selling Regulations allow you to withdraw from any purchase made from us at any time 7 working days after the date you receive the item.

If you want to return an unwanted purchase and it remains unopened and unused, as there is no error on our part we will refund the purchase but we will not refund your delivery costs, unless you have purchased an item of clothing or sportswear which is eligible for free returns to the UK. If you choose our pre-paid postage option then we will deduct postage costs from your refund, as per our delivery rates for returned items.

Please be aware that the following goods are excluded from the right to cancel:

• Goods made to specification or otherwise personalised
• Unsealed optical media, such as DVDs, CDs, Blu-rays, video games and computer software
• Leisure services or other activities in the form of vouchers that have expired
• Used hard drives
• Swimwear (If the hygiene label has been removed)
• Pierced jewellery

• Digital downloads

Other non-refundable products include: gift vouchers and digital downloads.
