We offer a long returns policy to meet the needs of our customers.

Goods returned and authorised within 1 calendar month of purchase will qualify for a full refund going back to the original method of payment.

Goods returned within months 2-3 after purchase will qualify for a store credit.

All returns must meet the following guidelines:
• Goods must be in as sold condition with all Uniform7 & Manufactures tags & labels intact.
• Goods must be unworn & unwashed.
• Goods sold with HANGERS must be returned with the ORIGINAL hangers due to storage. We will charge a penalty of 25% of the total product price if goods are still returned to us without their original hanger. This is because the goods are not returned in as sold condition and there for are not resalable.
• Goods must still be available to buy online at Uniform7.co.uk and not part of any sale or clearance.
• Any goods returned with the child’s name written/printed in the labels are not in resalable condition and there for cannot be returned.
• Goods will not be accepted if they are returned in any other condition unless faulty.

To return, please contact customer service to discuss your return. We will check your invoice and make sure the goods meet our criteria and then we will authorise your return by issuing a returns code. The returns code will look like this:

E.g.:

02/01-01/1500

This is the number of items you want to return with the date your return was authorised and your order number. We issue these codes so we know what returns to expect coming back in. You must write this code on your red slip and include in your returns package. If for any reason you have misplaced the slip, please let customer services know to receive your instructions.

Please include the returns slip within your parcel and post to Uniform7 Returns Hilltop Holly Bush Hill Great Bentley Essex CO7 8RH. We are unable to offer FREE returns labels.

Please contact customer service if your order falls into this category.

Whist we understand how difficult online shopping can be when it comes to sizing, we strongly advise against customers purchasing multiple sizes with the intention of returning unwanted goods. This has a huge financial impact on our small business when it comes to processing the returns and refunds and having a large amount of stock that's not likely to be resold. If we feel this is the case, we reserve the right to reject your refund request. We are happy to provide you with as much help and advice before your purchase is confirmed to avoid these situations.

Please refer to the Governments Guidelines on online shopping returns for further information.

EXCHANGES
We no longer provide an exchange service. If you wish to exchange an online purchase, please place a new order for the required item/s and return the unwanted items for us to process a refund/credit. This allows the customer to exercise the full returns policy on all goods. Please do not hesitate to contact customer service if you have any questions about exchanging your goods.

REFUNDS
Once your return is received and inspected, we will process your refund as promptly as possible without further notification. In the circumstance where your refund is rejected, we will notify you. The transaction will be refunded to your original payment method within 3-5 days of receipt of your parcel. If you do not see the payment within this time, please contact our support team. If you haven’t received a refund after 7 days, first check your bank account again. Then contact your credit card company; it may take some time before your refund is officially posted.
