REFUND & RETURNS POLICY

At BlueDot, we want you to be happy with your purchase. If an item arrives damaged, defective, incorrect, or you simply change your mind, you may request a return within 30 days of delivery.

We do not charge any restocking fees.

1. RETURN WINDOW

You have 30 days from the date your order is delivered to request a return for a refund or exchange.

Return requests submitted after the 30-day return period may not be accepted.

2. CONDITIONS FOR A RETURN

To be eligible for a return, the item should be:

  • Unused and unworn, except where reasonably necessary to inspect or try the product

  • In the same condition in which you received it

  • Returned with its original packaging, where possible

  • Accompanied by your order number or proof of purchase

For footwear and clothing, you may try the item on to check the fit.

Items showing excessive wear, washing, misuse, or damage caused after delivery may not qualify for a full refund.

3. CHANGE-OF-MIND RETURNS

If you change your mind about your purchase, you may request a return within 30 days of delivery.

Please contact us before sending any item back so that we can provide the correct return instructions and return address.

For change-of-mind returns, customers are responsible for the cost of returning the item unless otherwise stated by BlueDot.

BlueDot provides free standard delivery to customers in the United Kingdom, so there is no original standard shipping charge to deduct from your refund.

No restocking fee applies.

Once the returned item has been received and approved, we will refund the eligible purchase amount to your original payment method.
