Returns Policy for Goods Purchased Online

The Climbers Shop and Joe Browns want you to be completely satisfied with the items that you have purchased, but occasionally we realise you might wish to return an item to us. If you change your mind about an online purchase, you can return any unused items* within a period of 14 days from the date on which the items were delivered for a refund. All items should be returned in the same condition that they arrived, with all labels and packaging intact and undamaged.

We aim to process all online returns within 5 working days, and we will email a confirmation once your return has been processed.

How do I return an item purchased online?

• Print the Returns Form available at the top of this page and complete all sections before enclosing it with your return.
• If you do not have access to a printer, we will accept a handwritten version if all relevant information is included.
• Failure to include a returns form will delay the processing of your return.
• Securely package the item being returned in suitable protective packaging as the responsibility and liability for the item remain with you until we have received it. For this reason, we recommend you return any items using a postal service that is tracked and insured.
