Exchanges & Returns Policy

Skates.co.uk offers an up to 30 day returns policy starting from the day after delivery. Customers are also welcome to exchange an item if they wish, however please contact us beforehand. Postage charges may be incurred to do this, however we will do our best to keep this to a minimum.

Returns are usually processed at the end of every week. Refunds will go back onto the card you originally paid within 2-3 working days from the time of processing.

In order for returns/exchanges to be accepted the ordered items need to show no signs of having been worn. We ask that customers try to retain the original packaging where possible and include it when sending items back. This should prevent damage and loss when the item is returned and makes for a smoother transaction. We don't have a problem people trying the skates on to see if they fit, but they cannot show signs of use.

All purchasers are responsible for the costs of return postage, unless a product was received damaged or not what they ordered.

E&OE. If a product was received as damaged or in error, we are only able to cover mainland UK postage costs for 1st Class Royal Mail. We are not able to cover the cost for sending an item via courier or special delivery unless authorisation has been given prior to returning. Please do not put sticky tape or labels directly on the packaging or product box, otherwise you may be charged for the resulting damage. For exchanges we send out the replacements to you FREE of charge if in the mainland UK, however you will need to cover the cost of sending the ordered items back to us. For international orders, due to the costs involved in delivery, customers are responsible for exchange/returns postage both ways.

For returns, should a UK customer have benefited from our free postage due to the order being over £100 and then decide to return one of their items which then brings the order under £100, the order will then be charged the relevant postage amount as if the order were under £100.

Please be aware if you try and return your order after the 30 days period this will be not be accepted and they will be sent back out to you, unless exceptional circumstances apply.

NOTE: In some circumstances the 30 day period can be extended where a birthday or delay in the person receiving the shoes, but we will need to be notified when placing the order.

Please note that we will only refund the cost of the item (not the original delivery charge) if you return your goods. However, if you would like an exchange, you will not be billed for delivery a second time.

We reserve the right to cancel and refund an order in situations where Skates.co.uk deems necessary. Skates.co.uk will not tolerate rude or abusive speech or email content.

We reserve the right to refuse any returns received after this specified period, unless a returns authorisation has been given prior to us receiving the item. If a customer chooses to return the item, ignoring this advice it is also likely they will be charged for the postage costs of sending the items back to them.
