At Optics Warehouse, we take pride in delivering quality products and service.

However, if your purchase isn't quite right, we're here to help.
Please read the following policy carefully to ensure your return is handled smoothly and efficiently.

You don't need an account to withdraw from an order or return an item, but to ensure an efficient and prompt response we would recommend creating one before you contact us. We can ensure you won’t be sent any advertising material unless you sign up to our newsletter.
If you need to return an item or change your mind about an order, please follow the steps outlined below to ensure your return is processed efficiently:

  1. 1

    Tell Us You're Returning or Withdrawing

    Changed your mind? You have 14 days from receiving your order to withdraw from it, without giving a reason. The quickest way is to complete our Withdrawal Form. It goes straight to our returns team, you'll receive an email copy, and we'll send your free returns label, usually within 1 working day.

    You're also free to tell us clearly by another route, if you prefer: email [email protected], telephone us, or write to us using the contact details below. Please include your full name, order number, the email address used on your order, a contact telephone number and the item(s) concerned. We'll acknowledge your withdrawal by email.

    Faulty, incorrect or damaged item, or want an exchange or replacement? Please use the returns form further down this page, or contact us and we'll help.

  2. 2

    Prepare Your Return Package

    Please include a printed copy of your form submission in your return parcel, if you have one. If you did not receive a confirmation email, that’s not a problem - you can simply write the same details by hand and enclose them with your return.

    Please make sure your parcel includes the following:

    • A copy of your completed form, or a handwritten note containing your full name, order number, the email address used on your order and a contact telephone number (a reason for return isn't needed if you're withdrawing from your order)
    • Your order number written clearly on the outside of the parcel, as well as inside
    • The item(s) being returned, ideally with all original packaging and accessories
    • Ensure everything is securely packaged to prevent any damage during transit.

    Important: the more information you give us, the faster we can process your return. If we can't link your parcel to you and your order, we won't be able to process it.

  3. 3

    Send Your Return Back to Us

    Please send your items back within 14 days of telling us you're withdrawing. You have two options:

    Option 1 – Free returns label (recommended). We'll email you a prepaid returns label for our Irish returns warehouse. There's no cost to you and no import fees. Please stick the label onto your parcel, as it's what matches your parcel to your order.

    Option 2 – Your own courier. You're free to use a courier of your choice and send your items directly to our Irish returns warehouse. There are no customs charges or import fees on parcels sent within the EU. If you're withdrawing because you've changed your mind, you're responsible for the postage.

    Please use a tracked service, keep your proof of postage, and write your order number on the outside of the parcel. Include a note inside with your full name, order number, email address and telephone number. You don't need to wait for a label if you choose this option, but you must still tell us you're withdrawing within your 14 days (see Step 1).

    Please don't send parcels to our UK address. Parcels sent from the EU to the UK are subject to customs and may incur charges, which you would be responsible for.

    Faulty or incorrect item? Please contact us and we'll arrange the return at no cost to you. Please don't pay return postage or import fees for a faulty item.

Further Information

Withdrawing From Your Order (14 Days)

You have 14 days from the day you receive your order (or the last item, if your order arrives in separate deliveries) to withdraw from it without giving a reason. Tell us using our Withdrawal Form, or by any other clear statement such as an email, telephone call or letter. Once you've told us, you have 14 days to send the item(s) back.

Please return items complete with all accessories and, where possible, in their original packaging. You may open and check items as you would in a shop, but please take reasonable care of them. If an item has lost value because it has been handled more than necessary to check what it is and how it works (for example, by being used in the field), we may reduce your refund by the amount of that loss in value.

Please only return the items you received from us. If you include other items, such as aftermarket accessories, we'll send them back to you at your cost.

Return Costs

Free returns label – returns sent using the free label we email you go to our Irish returns warehouse at no cost to you, with no import fees.

Your own courier – if you withdraw from your order because you've changed your mind and choose to send the items back yourself, you pay the direct cost of returning them to our Irish returns warehouse. There are no customs charges or import fees within the EU. If you send them to our UK address instead, any customs charges and import fees are your responsibility.

Faulty or incorrect items – return costs are always ours. Please contact us before paying to send back a faulty item.

Refunds

If you withdraw from your order, we'll refund you within 14 days of learning of your decision. Refunds are issued to your original payment method at no charge and include standard delivery costs (if you chose a more expensive delivery option than our standard delivery, the extra cost isn't refundable). We may wait until we've received the items, or you've shown us proof of postage, whichever is earlier, before refunding.

We refund the amount you paid, in the currency you paid in. If your card or account is in a different currency, your provider’s exchange rate may apply. This is outside our control and we don't charge any fee for making the refund.

Returns are booked in at our returns warehouse in Ireland and sent to our UK team each week, where we assess them for condition and, for faulty items, to confirm the fault. Please allow for this when you return an item. If you use your own courier, the items remain at your risk until they reach us, so please package them securely and keep your proof of postage.

Faulty or Incorrect Items (Your Legal Guarantee)

Under EU consumer law, you're entitled to goods that match their description and work as they should. We're responsible for any fault that was present when the item was delivered and becomes apparent within 2 years of delivery.

If an item is faulty, you're entitled to have it repaired or replaced free of charge. If that isn't possible, or doesn't solve the problem, you're entitled to a price reduction or a refund. Please contact us and we'll arrange the return at no cost to you, including postage.

Returned items are sent to our UK team each week for assessment, so please allow a little extra time. If, after a genuine assessment, an item is found not to be faulty, we'll contact you first and explain our findings. Return postage for items that aren't faulty is at your cost, as described under Return Costs.

Exchanges & Replacements

Faulty items – replacements are provided free of charge, including delivery, within a reasonable time and subject to stock availability. If we can't replace the item, we'll refund you.

Change-of-mind exchanges – exchanges are an extra service we offer alongside your right to withdraw. They're usually processed within 7 working days of your return reaching our UK team (up to 14 during peak times), subject to stock availability. Returns can use our free returns label; delivery of the replacement item is charged at our standard delivery rates. Replacements are sent to your original delivery address unless you request otherwise. If we can't supply the exchange item, we'll refund you as set out under Refunds.

After the 14-Day Withdrawal Period

The right to withdraw from an order without giving a reason ends after 14 days. After that, we may in some cases accept items back with up to a 20% restocking fee deducted. This is a goodwill gesture, in addition to your statutory rights, and doesn't apply to faulty items, which are covered by your legal guarantee above.

Most products also come with a manufacturer warranty for repair or replacement. Check the brand’s warranty terms. This is separate from, and in addition to, your legal rights against us.

If you are within 60 days, selected items may qualify for our 60-Day Scope Out Guarantee. This is a voluntary guarantee, in addition to your statutory rights.

Warranty Support

Your legal guarantee is with us as the seller, and you don't have to go to the manufacturer first. Some manufacturers also handle warranty claims directly, and key contacts are listed below:
