Start a Return

If you need to return an item delivered by one of our Brand Partners please refer to the instructions that came with you parcel.

You may also make a Return to any of our stores within 28 days, please see below for details.

 

Returns Policy

Returning orders to us is easy. Should you change your mind we offer a refund within 28 days of delivery or collection using the returns portal link above, or to a store. Please see below for more information about returning to store.

Please note that you remain responsible for the items until they reach us. Unless faulty, items returned must be returned in their original packaging and in a re-saleable condition.

Items purchased in-store may cannot be returned via the Returns Portal or Post, and must be returned to a store.

If you wish to exchange your order for an alternative size or product, this can only be done in-store.

 

Faulty Goods

If your item arrives damaged or is not the item that you requested, please return to us using the returns portal or to a GO Outdoors store.

Alternatively please contact our Customer Service Team and provide the details of the issue so that we can help you. Please be aware we will ask for an image / video of the faulty or damaged item to help speed up the resolution. In some cases, we may need to send the item to our inspection team for assessment to establish if a manufacturing fault is present, then depending on the result we may offer a refund.

If the product(s) you’ve ordered develops a fault over time and is within its warranty period, it must be returned in clean condition to be accepted for a refund. This is to ensure the health and safety of the teams handling returns. This does not affect your statutory rights.

 

Delivery Charges

Delivery charges will be refunded in cases where the goods are faulty. If an entire order is cancelled within the 14 day cancellation period then the standard delivery charge will be refunded. If you chose to pay extra for an expedited delivery service, we will only refund the cost of a standard delivery. Please note that if you keep part of an order (including any free gifts), you may not be entitled to any refund of the delivery charge.

Please see our Terms and Conditions for more details.

Online orders can be returned to any GO Outdoors store for free. You will need to bring the delivery note that came with your order, otherwise the store may not be able to assist you.

Please note: our smaller GO Express stores will not be able to take large items and bikes. Please see details under 'Restricted Items' section above. If you are unsure, please feel free to Contact Us for advice before traveling to store.

 

By Post 

You can make your own arrangements through any postal carrier. We recommend you use a service that can provide proof of postage as the items remain your responsibility until we receive your parcel. Some services offer levels of compensation in case your parcel becomes lost or damaged. We suggest this is considered especially when returning high value items.
