Boots Christmas returns

There’s nothing about Christmas on the Boots site at time of writing. It looks like a standard 35/28 day returns policy applies.

“You can return any unwanted items free of charge within 35* days for a refund or replacement. We are only able to offer a replacement if the item is in stock. We are unable to exchange items.

If you change your mind about an unused item you’ve bought in the last 35 days, simply return it in its packaging. We reserve the right to refuse an exchange or refund if goods are not returned in a saleable condition or are damaged. If the item was faulty or damaged when delivered or collected from store, an exchange or refund will be offered.”

Carphone Warehouse Christmas returns

“Customers purchasing selected products* between 30th October and 24th December 2019 are able to return or exchange purchases up to and including Sunday 14th January 2020, or within 21 days of your original purchase, whichever is later.”

“We’ve extended our usual limit for returns just for the festive season. Any gift bought between 21 October and 24 December can be returned up until 28 January, if it’s unwanted or unsuitable. Please ask for a gift receipt in store so that the recipient can also return the present.”

Don’t forget to bring your receipt or gift receipt with you to receive an exchange or Refund Card at the original purchase price. This will not affect your statutory rights.”
