Please ensure the item is in its original condition with proof of purchase and we’ll exchange or refund it. Unless faulty, this should be within 30 days of receiving your order. By original condition, we mean unused and in its original packaging with labels.

To ensure the safe return of your items and the correct allocation of the items against your account at our fulfilment centre, please follow the guidelines below:

Please include your delivery note or receipt.
Please indicate why you are returning the item.

If you don’t have the delivery note, please include a piece of paper with the name of the person who purchased the items, their email address, telephone number, the order number and the reason for the return.

Please ensure that any items to be sent back are returned securely. If you are shipping an item over £20 you should consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We cannot guarantee and we won’t be held liable if we don’t receive your returned item.

Except where you have returned the products because they are incomplete, faulty or mis-described, you will be responsible for paying your own shipping costs for returning your item. If you receive a refund, the cost of original shipping will be deducted from your refund.

This 30-day returns policy does not affect your statutory rights, or limit your remedies in respect of items that are damaged, defective or incorrect. Please see below for details about returning a damaged, defective, or incorrect item.

Refunds (if applicable)

Online returns – Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If you are approved, your refund will be processed, a credit will automatically be applied using the same payment method as was used to purchase, within a certain amount of days.

Late or missing refunds (if applicable)

If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again or credit card company. It may take some time before your refund is officially posted. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted (up to 21 days).

If you have done all of this and you still have not received a refund, please contact us at retail.services@yorkshiredales.org.uk
