Request in your account

Start every return through the Returns Process in your Fox's Chandlery online customer account — this ensures your return is tracked and processed correctly.

Receive your RAN

Our team will review your request and, if approved, send you a Return Authorisation Number (RAN) together with shipping instructions.

Pack & send it back

Return the item unused, in its original condition and packaging, with all manuals and accessories — following the shipping instructions provided.

Returns sent without prior authorisation will not be accepted. Proof of purchase is required for all returns.

Getting It Back To Us

By post, courier or in store

By post or courier

  • Goods must be returned in their original packaging — please don't apply shipping labels, tape or writing directly to the product packaging.
  • Boxes must not be crushed, dented, torn or otherwise damaged — this may result in the return being refused or a restocking fee being applied.
  • Unless the product is faulty or supplied in error, return shipping costs are your responsibility.
  • We recommend a tracked and insured courier service — we can't be responsible for items lost or damaged in transit.

Large or heavy item? If your item needs to be collected, call our online team on +44 (0)1473 694 725 and we'll arrange it.

  • Refunds are processed once goods have been received and approved by our returns team.
  • Refunds are made using the same payment method used for the purchase.
  • Please allow up to 14 working days after we receive the goods for your return to be processed.

Your statutory rights

Our 90-day returns policy is offered in addition to your statutory rights. Nothing in this policy affects your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
