At Back-To-Back, we want you to love every purchase. If you're not completely satisfied, we're here to help. Please read our Returns & Refunds Policy carefully before requesting a return.

  • The item is in its original packaging.
  • The item is free from stains, odours, pet hair, makeup, deodorant marks, or any damage caused after delivery.

We reserve the right to refuse returns that do not meet these conditions.

Include:

  • Your order number
  • A description of the issue
  • Clear photographs of the product

Once approved, we will arrange collection or provide instructions for returning the item at no cost to you.

If you simply changed your mind or ordered the wrong size or colour:

  • Returns must be requested within 30 days of delivery.
  • The item must meet the eligibility requirements above.
  • Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise stated.

Once we receive and inspect the item, we will process:

  • an exchange,

  • a refund (where applicable).

4. Refunds

Once your return has been received and inspected, we will notify you of the outcome.

If approved:

  • Refunds will be processed to your original payment method.
  • Please allow 5–10 business days for the funds to reflect, depending on your bank or payment provider.

Shipping fees are non-refundable, unless the return is due to our error or a faulty product.


5. Consumer Protection Act

If a product is defective, unsafe, or not of acceptable quality, you may be entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund in accordance with Section 56 of the CPA.
