Refunds
Our refunds policy doesn't affect your statutory rights. Your refund and how your refund is issued may differ based on the condition of the item, how long you've had the item, and how the item was purchased.
How Refunds Are Issued
Most refunds are issued based on the payment method used at the time of purchase. In some cases, you may be offered an instant refund option.
If you want to use your refund without waiting for us to process your return, you can select the instant refund option, if available. Instant refunds are either refunded to your credit card or issued as an Amazon.co.uk Gift Card balance, depending on the instant refund type you select. You'll still need to return your items within 30 days.
If you aren't required to mail your item back for a refund, you'll be notified in the Returns Center. For more information, go to the Conditions of Use & Sale.
Gift returns: The type of refund or credit you receive depends on how the gift was purchased and how it was returned. For more information about gift refunds, go to Return a Gift.
Late Refunds
You can check the status of your refund in Your Account on the order summary page.
If your refund doesn't appear in Your Account, and the processing time for your payment method has passed, contact us.
