Returns Policy
Whilst we hope that you love your new colours, if for any reason you would like to return your Kettlewell order, you can send it back to us in its original condition within 28 days. Sale/clearance items must be returned within 14 days.
You may return your order for a refund. We will no longer be able to exchange a customer’s order, you will need to place a new order for the item/s you would like.
Please note: You can check the status of your return using the Royal Mail link in the receipt you receive from the Post Office when returning your parcel to us. Royal Mail tracking can be found at https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item
Having received your goods, we aim to process all returns within 21 working days, although at very busy times (like Christmas or a sale period) there are occasional delays. It may take an additional 5-10 working days for a refund to appear in your account - this period is out of our control. Typically, this process is faster.
We extend our returns policy during the Christmas period to ensure that any unwanted gifts can be returned after Christmas. We ask that any gifts are returned to us by the 31st of January in their original packaging and unworn for a refund.
Please remove all make-up, deodorants and body lotions before trying on garments. We are unable to accept returned items which are not in a re-saleable condition.
Please note: we cannot refund the postage charge paid with the initial order.

Information for customers in the US
We recommend you move to our American website to take advantage of best shipping costs and exchange rates: www.kettlewellcolours.com
We currently dispatch your parcel from our warehouse via Royal Mail; this is then passed to USPS. You can track your parcel using your tracking number provided for you here.
We are aware of ongoing issues with USPS and our team is working hard to find a more efficient solution, whilst remaining cost effective for all parties.
Packages and parcels from the US are subject to import regulations which can cost money as they enter the country.
Due to Covid-19 we have been experiencing delays when items reach customs, both entering and exiting the US. For that reason, deliveries and returns may take a little longer than normal.
Fair use
As an online business, we expect a certain percentage of orders to be returned. If we notice a pattern of returns that is out of the ordinary (e.g. a customer is placing a large number of orders over a period of time, and then returning everything or almost everything) we reserve the right to remove the pre-paid returns label from future orders or deactivate the associated account.
Faulty Goods
In the rare and unfortunate event of your Kettlewell product being faulty, please accept our apologies, and contact us so that we can advise you. Please note we do not accept faulty items back after six months from date of purchase.

To cancel your order, please call us on 01460 279800. If your order has been dispatched we will be unable to process a refund until we receive the parcel back.
Once you have confirmed your order we are unable to amend it.
