Standard Returns Policy

We hope you are pleased with the fit, quality and value of the items you have bought. All of the items sent out are checked to make sure they are in perfect condition and must be returned to us in the same condition. Please return unwanted items to us for a refund or exchange within 14 days of receipt*

If you wish to return items for any reason other than defects in the goods, incomplete or incorrect delivery you will need to arrange and pay for the return of the items to us. For help and advice please contact Customer Care on 07591 052979 or email info@chocolateboutique.me.uk

*This differs from our In Store Policy where unwanted items can be returned within 14 days of purchase for an exchange for items of the same or higher value, on payment of the balance, or store credit only.

I want to return a product to Chocolate Boutique

Clothing
Unwanted items can be returned as long as they are in their original condition, unused, unworn, undamaged and in a resale able condition. Wherever possible items should have their swing tags intact and be in their original packaging. Please be careful when trying on items that you are not wearing any makeup, deodorant, body lotion or jewellery that may leave a scent, mark or damage the item. Unfortunately if any items are returned in an unsaleable condition we will not be able to accept them for return

Footwear
Please try footwear indoors on a carpeted area so not to mark the soles. We suggest you wear them inside for at least an hour before deciding to wear them outdoors. We will not be able to accept shoes for return if they have a clearly marked sole.

Jewellery
All jewellery except pierced earrings can be returned if not suitable.

Can I return an item bought in the sale?

Unwanted sale items can be returned within 14 days from date of despatch using the same guidelines as full priced product. This differs from our in store policy where sale items can be returned within 7 days of receipt for an exchange for items of the same or higher value, on payment of the balance, or store credit only.

Late Returns

Your unwanted Items should be returned to us within 14 days from date of despatch . Orders returned outside of this timeframe will only be refunded by a credit voucher sent to you by email which can only be used against your next purchase. Credit vouchers are valid for 12 months.

Gift Returns

If you have received an item as a gift and you would like to return it, we can refund the value as a credit voucher sent to you by email valued at the last known selling price, unless you can supply us with the original delivery details. If you haven’t bought from us previously you will need to contact Customer Care on 07591 052979 or email info@chocolateboutique.me.uk and we will create an account and send by email a credit voucher to the value of the item bought. Alternatively the original purchaser can return the item and the refund can be processed to them in the normal way. Orders returned outside of this timeframe will only be refunded by a credit voucher sent to you by email which can be used against your next purchase. Credit vouchers are valid for 12 months.
