How to Get a boohoo Refund for a Stuck Return.
Inside 14 days their own policy is on your side; statutory cooling-off rights may stack on top. Outside it, you've still got tools, a clear email, a card-issuer chargeback, the lot. Here's the playbook for boohoo.

The short answer
boohoo Premier (the £9.99 yearly delivery membership): email customerservices@boohoo.com within 14 days of buying. You only get a full refund if you haven't used Premier delivery yet. After that there is no refund, except a pro-rated one if boohoo ends the membership itself. Clothing orders: you can only cancel before the order is processed. After that you have to return items through the returns portal, and the window is 28 days in the UK (the US returns page currently says 21). In the UK a £1.99 per-parcel returns fee comes off the refund. US returns since 15 May 2025 are refunded as store credit or a voucher, not cash. Refunds can take up to 14 to 21 days from when you post the parcel. Cosmetics, pierced jewellery, and swimwear or lingerie with a broken hygiene seal can't be refunded.

How long does a boohoo refund take?
Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.
Note boohoo’s own policy works on a 14-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.

Refund FAQ for boohoo
There's no cancel button in your account. boohoo says to **email customerservices@boohoo.com** to cancel Premier. Use a subject like *Cancel boohoo Premier, [your account email]* and include your order or membership confirmation number. If you're within **14 days** of buying and haven't placed an order with Premier delivery, ask for a full refund of the £9.99 fee. If you're past that point, ask them to confirm in writing that the membership **won't renew**. Keep the email thread as proof in case you're charged again.
