How do I return an item?

We know that sometimes things don’t work out, and hope you’re not too disappointed. If you’d like to return an item, we'll refund or exchange any unworn items providing they are returned in a saleable condition within 28 days. A refund will be issued on receipt of the goods.

This doesn’t affect your rights to return faulty goods or any other statutory rights.

You can return your items quickly and easily using one of our trackable services.

Do you refund original postage charges?

In line with Consumer Contract Regulations 2014 and if your returns meet the criteria outlined below in our policy but the standard postage has yet to be refunded, please contact us by using the Contact Us button below, or call our Customer Care Team on 01612864321.

When you buy products online, you have cancellation rights detailed below. If you reside within the EU, you are entitled to these rights under the EU directive on Consumer Rights 83/2011. If you reside in a non-EU country, we offer the same rights to you.

You are entitled to cancel your order if you so wish, providing that you exercise your right no longer than 14 days after the day on which you receive the goods.

Your right to return or cancel products does not apply to goods that have been personalised / altered. This does not affect your statutory rights if goods are faulty or not as described.

To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel your order by a clear statement, including details of your name, geographical address, details of the order you wish to cancel and, where available, your phone number and e-mail address.

You can cancel by e-mail: customerservices@cottontraders.com or call our Customer Care Team on 01612864321, or write to Customer Support Team, Cotton Traders Ltd, Neptune House, Pacific Court, Pacific Road, Altrincham, Cheshire WA14 5BJ.

If you decide to cancel, you should return your order to us at your own cost within 14 days of such cancellation and we will reimburse to you (by the method used to pay for the original transaction, postal orders will be refunded by cheque) the amount in relation to goods to which cancellation rights apply.

Only standard delivery charges for your order will be refunded (if applicable). If you choose a type of delivery other than our standard we will only refund you the cost of standard delivery (if any).

If you change your mind, your order will be reimbursed including any standard delivery charges providing the entire order is returned with tags and in the original packaging (where possible) including any promotional gifts that formed part of the original order.

How do I return an item that I was given as a gift?

If you’d like to return something you were given as a gift, we will need the name and address of the person who made the original purchase so we can locate the order.

Please contact our friendly Customer Care Team on 0161 286 4321 to notify us, and we’ll flag the order to ensure that it isn’t automatically refunded to the original payment method by our warehouse.

We recommend that you consider Royal Mail parcel insurance, as Cotton Traders are not liable for any returns parcels damaged or lost in transit.

Wherever possible, return good to us unworn, in their original packaging, within 28 days of informing us of your wish to return.

Once we’ve received your order, we will then be able to offer you gift vouchers for the value of your order, which can then be used on orders placed by post or over the phone. Please include the address you’d like us to send the gift vouchers to in a covering letter.

1. Complete your returns slip with details of your returned items before detaching it and enclosing it in your parcel with the items.

2. Peel off the return address label and attach it to your parcel. Please note that this is not a pre-paid label and the cost of returns is not covered by Cotton Traders.

If you no longer have your returns label and need to send an item back to us, please send it to:
