Whistles Return PolicyWhistles-Return-Policy

FREE UK RETURNS

All UK Whistles returns are free within 28 days from the date of the receipt and pre-paid Royal Mail labels are enclosed in every order.

Extended Christmas Refund Policy

To make Christmas shopping even easier, we will be extending our returns policy; any purchases made between 2nd November and 24th December 2019 can be returned until 22nd January 2020. As usual, items must be returned in their original condition with proof of purchase.

Please see our full policy below for more details.

If you’d like to return an item from your order, it must reach us in its new, unworn state with its original tags and packaging either within 28 days from the date of receipt (for orders placed online) or the date of purchase where the item was purchased in a Whistles store. On receipt of the returned item(s), your refund will be credited to the payment card used to make the purchase. Regrettably, any delivery costs will not be refunded (although some exceptions do apply).This extended returns period is in addition to your rights under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation And Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, which provide customers with 14 days (beginning the day after receipt of goods) to cancel any purchase, and a further 14 days within which to return the goods to us following the date you inform us of your intention to cancel the purchase.

In your parcel you will find enclosed Returns documentation. Please take care to fill out the form in its entirety. Providing us with accurate reasons as to why you are returning your product(s) is important, as it will allow us to provide better products and services for our customers in the future.

Please allow up to 3 working days for any returns to be received by our warehouse, plus a maximum of 7 working days for the refund to be processed. You will receive an email to confirm your refund, however if after 10 working days you have not heard from us please contact us by web chat, email or telephone.

Unfortunately, for hygiene reasons we are unable to refund or exchange earrings. We also ask that swimwear is returned with the protective film in place in order to receive a full refund or exchange.

 

INTERNATIONAL RETURNS

International customers (including Ireland), have 28 days to return their items using a courier of their choice. We’re sorry that we are currently unable to provide freepost returns to our international customers.

Please complete the proforma invoice that is included in your parcel, clearly marking your return parcel as ‘British Return Goods’ with a domestic sale value of £1.00. This will prevent your items being held up at customs, as your returned items are not applicable for duty once they reach the UK. Carefully attach this proforma invoice to the outside of your returns parcel.

We strongly recommend sending your goods back via a tracked service and retaining proof of postage until you have received your refund notification.

Please return your item to:
Whistles Ltd
C/O Noatum Logistics
Unit 1 Horizon Point
Swallowdale Lane
Hemel Hempstead
HP2 7FZ
UK

We will provide a full refund once the cancelled items are returned to us. If we do not receive them, we may arrange to collect them from you at your own expense.

It is difficult to predict how long international returns will take to arrive at our warehouse. Should you have any concerns please email us at enquiries@whistles.com
