What are my statutory rights?
We want you to be happy with your purchase, but we know that occasionally you may want to return items. That's why we have a 28 day returns policy. In addition, by law, you have the right to cancel the purchase of an item within seven working days of the day after the date the item is delivered. To cancel your purchase within the seven-working-day cooling-off period you will need to send the item to us, together with a letter telling us you wish to cancel.
We can only accept cancellations where the goods are posted to us at:
Matalan Distance Selling Returns
DC Goods In
Gillibrands Road
Skelmersdale
WN8 9TB
You will need to pack the cancelled item(s) securely and send them to us so that we receive it within seven working days of the day after the date that the item was delivered to you. We advise you use a recorded-delivery service for returning cancelled goods.
Please note that you are responsible for the costs of returning the cancelled items to us (unless we sent you the wrong item, or the item is damaged or defective).
If you try to cancel without returning the goods, we will arrange for them to be collected from your address. This will be at your cost, and is likely to be significantly more expensive than returning them to us by post.
We will issue your refund once we receive notice of your cancellation.
For more information on your right to withdraw from your purchase within the seven working day cooling-off period, visit the Department of Trade and Industry's website at: http://www.berr.gov.uk/whatwedo/consumers/buying-selling/distance-selling/index.html
This FAQ answer is not a complete statement of your statutory rights. For more information on your statutory rights, you should speak to your local Trading Standards office.
