Picking the right present for some of our nearest and dearest can be a tough task, so luckily many stores across the country have a return policy in place so as unwanted or unsuitable presents can be brought back to be exchanged or refunded.
We have compiled a list of some of the high street stores across the province and their return policies for this festive season.
Hopefully this helps to keep you up to date with this year’s regulations.
1. Primark
At Primark, products purchased on or after October 15 2024 can be returned for a refund or exchange, provided the item is returned in a saleable condition with an original receipt until January 31 2025. Photo: Contributed
2. Peacocks
Peacocks have extended their usual limit for returns. Any full-price purchases made online or in-store between October 20 2024 and December 8 2024, can be returned up until Sunday, January 5 2025. Sale items are not included in the Christmas returns policy extension. Items bought in-store are eligible for exchange only. For any purchase made after December 8 2024, this will then automatically revert back to Peacocks' standard 28-day returns policy and the option of a full refund or exchange. Photo: Peacocks
