from a store.

deliveries. We use DHL for most international customers (excluding Russia and China).

Exchanges and Returns
What is your returns policy?
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.
For full details on
returns, please go to the returns section on
our website.
When will I get my refund?
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.
How do I return my order (UK only)?
If you are in the UK, you can return your order to our warehouse via post or to any Whistles
standalone store. There is a freepost label included in your package which can be used at
your local Post Office or you can use Collect +. Please refer to the returns section for
more details.
How do I return my order using Collect+ (UK only)?
We are pleased to offer the free Collect+ service to return your item(s) via one of 5,250
participating local shops. Firstly, visit www.collectplus.co.uk/whistles and follow the

the counter. You will be given a receipt and tracking code to enable you to track the

I am an international customer, how I do return my item?
International customers have 28 days from the date of receipt (for orders placed online) to
return items using a courier of their choice. We regret that Whistles is unable to provide
freepost returns to international customers. We advise sending your goods back via a tracked
service and retaining proof of postage until you receive your refund notification. For more
information, please refer to the returns
section for more details.
I’ve missed the returns deadline.
Regrettably, our 28-day policy means we are unable to accept returns outside the stated
period. If we receive your return outside of this period, the item will be returned to you
and no refund will be processed.
