Returning or Exchanging Your Order

We are happy to provide the option of a full refund or exchange if the goods you receive are unsuitable or are no longer required. We issue all refunds as soon as reasonably possible and at the latest, within 30 days of agreeing to give the refund, taking into account the original method of payment. Goods must be returned unused, in pristine condition, with all packaging and in the same condition as received; you are required to take reasonable care of the item(s) while they are in your control.

Returning Your Online Order To Store

  • Pop into any of our 115+ branches across England & Wales with your order confirmation email or completed Returns Form (a copy of our Returns Form can be found here). You can find your nearest branch by using our Store Locator.

  • More often than not the assistant will be able to process a refund in branch, however when this is not possible*, they will arrange for the parcel to be returned to Head Office on their next secure delivery. Please allow 7-10 working days for your refund to be processed by our Online Team and a further 2-3 working days for the funds to appear in your account.

  • If it's an exchange you're after, this can be completed in store where you are able to browse our range of products in person.

  • A refund will always be processed via the original payment method. If you have paid (or part-paid) using an F.Hinds Gift Card, a new Gift Card will be returned to you in the post with the relevant amount loaded.


* Online order refunds cannot be processed in store where Klarna has been used as the method of payment, or if the goods were purchased from us on Amazon / eBay. You are welcome to return your order to the branch and the assistant will be more than happy to arrange its transfer back to Head Office on their next available delivery.

Returning Your Online Order By Post

  • Replace the item(s) in the relevant packaging (e.g. ring box) as well as using the protective outer packaging provided. If this protection has been discarded please ensure the goods are safely packed - if it damages in transit it may affect our ability to give a refund. If you are returning a gift item or clock for example, the item's box should not be tampered with i.e. covered with tape. Wrap the item in another protective box: this can be taped and secured. We will need to re-sell the item so please bear this in mind

  • Complete the Returns Form provided (a copy of our Returns Form can be found here) and post to the ‘Online Customer Services’ address detailed on the form: send to this address only, not to any of our stores. This is not a prepaid label: you are responsible for covering all return costs, making sure enough has been paid to cover the contents of the parcel. If you have not paid enough, the costs incurred to us will be deducted from your refund

  • Retain proof of postage from the Post Office (this is free of charge); if the parcel goes missing we cannot issue a refund without proof of your return

  • A refund will be always be processed via the original payment method. If you have paid or part-paid using a gift card, this will be posted to you with the relevant amount loaded.

Store Collection Orders

Orders placed using our Pay & Collect service (where you pay for the order online and collect it in store), are subject to our usual 30 day change of mind policy. But please note; earrings and body jewellery bought using our Pay & Collect service can be refunded whilst you are in store collecting the order, but once you have left with the goods they cannot be returned for hygiene reasons.

30 Day Change of Mind Guarantee

Although we do our best to ensure that our pictures and descriptions explain our products as clearly as possible, sometimes you may find that when your items arrive they're not quite as you expected, or you may have simply changed your mind. Don't worry - we have a 30 day change of mind guarantee on all our products (excludes personalised, specially ordered items and rings outside our standard range; I-U for ladies and P-Z for men and smartwatches that have been paired with a device). This may differ for in-store purchases where pierced jewellery (earrings/body jewellery) can often not be returned for a refund or exchange. You will need to check this with a member of staff in store prior to committing to the purchase.

Refunds

Refunds will always be given via the same method used to pay. In exceptional circumstances we may not be able to refund your card, so the refund will be made by way of a direct bank transfer (we will contact you if this is the case). Please never send your bank details in any form of written communication with us.

Exchanges

For most exchanges we kindly ask you return your original order for a full refund and order the replacement item online with a new order number; this way you will receive a more efficient service from us. If this is not possible then we can take any balance due over the phone on 01895 201040 (option 2) or via a PayPal transfer. Any balance owed to you will be refunded via the original method used to pay.

Ring Size Exchanges

You are required to return the ring to us with a completed Returns Form (a copy of our Returns Form can be found here), clearly stating which size you would like instead. Your free size exchange includes any size within our standard size ranges (I-U for ladies rings and P-Z for men’s rings); sizes outside these ranges may be subject to a Bespoke Item Charge. If the new ring size is not available or possible, we will contact you via email or phone.

Please note, we only exchange ring sizes once free of charge after purchase and all rings must be returned in saleable condition. We reserve the right to decide if a ring is altered by a goldsmith or exchanged entirely, depending on size availability at the time.

Damaged or Incorrect Items

If goods are damaged in transit or you receive an incorrect item or size, please notify us immediately by emailing onlinesales@fhinds.co.uk or by telephoning our Online Team on 01895 201040 (option 2). Phones are manned weekdays, 9am - 5pm. You may be required to return the damaged goods to us before we can ship you a replacement. In this instance we can send you a free, pre-paid returns label which you can print at home.

"Cooling Off" Period

If you (or the recipient of your gift) are unhappy with any purchase, we will try to assist. As your purchase will have been made through distance selling methods (i.e. via the internet or over the phone), you are entitled by law to cancel the order within fourteen (14) days of receiving the goods. This is known as a 'cooling off' period and is extended to 30 days from the date of dispatch under our returns policy. You have an obligation to take reasonable care of the item(s) while they are in your control.

All of the above is in addition to your statutory rights.
