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.”
