Step 1: You'll have received an order summary page with your purchase. Please fill out the reason for your return on the order summary. If the item is damaged or faulty, be sure to let us know clearly.
Step 2: Unpeel the returns label on your order summary and stick it over the original address label on the packaging.
Step 3: Repack the item with the order summary in the original packaging. We need the order summary to process your return.
Step 4: Securely seal the parcel using the remaining adhesive strip on the original packaging. If your box or bag is damaged and can't be reused please pack your items securely in alternative packaging.
Step 5: Postage is free, so you can just drop the parcel in the post. However it's a good idea to keep proof of postage. Items returned without proof of postage are sent at your own risk.

Our refund policy is in addition to and does not affect your legal statutory rights.
What can't I return?
You can return items because you've changed your mind about your purchase. We ask that you look after the product whilst it's in your possession and that when you return the product to us, you also let us have all the original packaging, tags, labels and accessories.
When trying on items please take reasonable care not to mark or damage them. Items such as underwear and swimming costumes must be tried on over other clothes.
All returned items will be checked in our warehouse. If we can see that the items are not in the same physical condition as they were supplied and reasonable care has not been taken with them then we may seek to recover the cost of the return from you.
If you bought your items as part of a promotion, we'll always give you a refund that matches the amount you paid for the item unless:
- If you bought your items as part of a buy one get one free promotion and return only one of the items you won't get a refund. If you return both items you'll receive a full refund.
- If you bought your items as part of a link saving offer (for example, buy a shirt for £20 and get a tie worth £5 for free) you must return both items to get a full refund. If you return only the paid-for item, you will no longer qualify for the offer.
So in the example above, if you only return the shirt, you will be refunded £15 to cover the price of the tie. - If you bought your items as part of a multisave offer (for example, buy 3, £10 T-shirts for only £25) and return part of this order, you will no longer qualify for the offer and will have the saving deducted from your refund.
So in the example above, you will have the £5 multisave saving deducted from your refund.
Promotions in your order?
You will always receive a refund that matches the amount that you paid for the item unless:If you participated in a buy one get one free promotion and return only one of the items you will receive no refund. If you return both items you will receive a full refund.
If you participated in a buy one get one half price promotion and return only one of the items you will receive only the refund for the half price item. If you return both items you will receive a full refund.
If you participated in a linked saving offer (e.g. buy a shirt for £20 and get a tie worth £5 for free) you must return both items to get a full refund. If you only return the shirt in the example above you will be refunded only £15 to cover the price of the tie as you no longer qualify for the offer
If you participated in a multibuy offer (e.g. buy 3 tshirts at £10 each for only £25) and return part of this order then you will have the saving deducted from your refund as you no longer qualify for the offer (e.g. £5 in this example).
If you return an item that is included in a promotion, we will deduct the discounted value from the first item returned from that order.
For example: If you purchase two items in an order using a £10 promotion code, we will deduct the promotional value from the first item returned in that order. All other items that fall below the promotional threshold from that order will be refunded.
E.g Buy a Dress for £12 and a suit for £30 using a £10 promotional code.
| Price | Refund | |
|---|---|---|
| Dress | £12 | £2 |
| Suit | £30 | £30 |
The only exception to this is bundle promotions. For example: Buy a school outfit for £15 – inc. polo, sweatshirt and trousers. We will apportion the link save discount across each product included in the order.
Please check your despatch note you received with your order which will show you the discount apportionment applied.
E.g. Buy a school outfit for £15 – inc. polo, sweatshirt and trousers.
| Price | Price paid | Discount | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trousers | £7 | £5.83 | £1.17 |
| Sweatshirt | £8 | £6.67 | £1.33 |
| Polo | £3 | £2.50 | £0.50 |
eCoupons in your order?
eCoupons are classed as a method of payment rather than a promotion and the value of the discount is split proportionally across the items that are purchased based on the price of each item.
Therefore, if you return items from your order and you benefited from eCoupons we will recalculate the total of your revised order after your refund and so you will lose a portion of your eCoupon discount based on the percentage of your original order that you are returning.
For example, if you placed the order below with a £10 eCoupon you can see the actual refund amounts for each item that you would receive if you returned them.
| Item Price | eCoupon apportionment |
Item refund amount |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Item a | £50 | £5 | £45 |
| Item b | £20 | £2 | £18 |
| Item c | £20 | £2 | £18 |
| Item d | £10 | £1 | £9 |
Summer Clubcard Voucher Exchange Returns & Refunds FAQ's
Q: I am not satisfied with my order, how do I return it?
A: We are sorry to hear this. You can make a return in line with our existing Refunds and Returns Policy here
Q: I have a query about how my refund has been calculated
A: Refunds are split into two parts; it is apportioned between the monetary amount spent and the blue Clubcard voucher amount used for the purchase. Please see the following for an example of how the refund will be calculated:
- £10 of blue Clubcard vouchers were exchanged for £20 of Summer Clubcard Exchange eCoupons to spend on F&F.
- A purchase of £30 was made on Tesco.com/clothing and the customer requests a refund on this purchase.
- When the items are returned, you will receive an email advising of the apportioned monetary amount. In this example, that amount is £10.
- The second part of the refund will be made within 14 days of receipt of the returned items. This consists of the original blue Clubcard voucher amount, in this case £10. Therefore in this example, the total refund amount is £20.
Q: Where is my refund?
A: If you returned your order by post, once we are in receipt of your parcel, you will receive an email confirming that we have received your returned items. The first part of your refund will be shown on this email and the remaining part of your refund will be made within 14 days.
If you have not received this returns confirmation email and 10 days have elapsed since you returned your item(s), please contact our customer service advisors with your return proof of postage details.
