How long do The Range refunds take?

Once The Range receives your returned item — either in-store or at their Customer Returns Centre — refunds are typically processed within 3–5 working days back to the original payment method. Bank processing can add another 2–5 days. If you've waited longer than 14 days after return confirmation, email customer.services@therange.co.uk quoting your order reference.

Can I return to The Range without a receipt?

For online orders, your order confirmation email or Order Reference acts as proof of purchase — no paper receipt needed. For in-store purchases, you'll need the Store Receipt or proof of payment (card statement) to process a refund. Without proof, stores may offer an exchange or gift card at current selling price at their discretion.

What is The Range's return policy?

The Range offers a Change of Mind Period (14 days from delivery for online orders, in line with UK Consumer Contracts Regulations) plus free returns to any of their 280 UK stores. Goods must be unused and in original packaging. Faulty items are covered separately under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 for up to 30 days for a full refund.

How do I return a large item to The Range?

Large items like furniture can't usually go back via store. Use the Returns Authorisation Process on therange.co.uk under My Account, or email customer.services@therange.co.uk. They'll arrange courier collection — this may carry a collection fee unless the item is faulty or wasn't as described. Keep all original packaging until the return is complete.

Can I cancel a Click & Collect order at The Range?

Yes. If you haven't yet collected, log into My Account, find the order, and use the cancellation option, or contact the collecting store directly. Uncollected Click & Collect orders are typically cancelled and refunded automatically after the holding period expires (usually 7–10 days).

What if The Range refuses my refund?

If The Range refuses a refund you're entitled to under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, escalate in writing to customer.services@therange.co.uk citing the specific regulation. If unresolved, you can raise a chargeback with your bank (debit card) or a Section 75 claim (credit card purchases over £100). The Retail ADR scheme can also mediate.

Does The Range have a subscription service?

No. The Range (CDS Superstores International Ltd) is a UK home, garden, and DIY retailer with 280 stores and an online shop. There's no membership fee, no monthly subscription, and no recurring charges. If you're seeing repeated charges from 'The Range', check whether it's a marketplace partner or contact your bank — it may be unauthorised.

How do I contact The Range customer service?

Email **customer.services@therange.co.uk** or call **0345 026 7598** (calls charged at local rate). Live chat is available via the Help Centre on therange.co.uk during business hours. For in-store issues, visit any of their 280 UK stores. Always include your Order Reference for faster resolution.

Can I get a refund on sale items at The Range?

Yes. Sale items carry the same statutory return rights as full-price goods under UK consumer law — 14 days to cancel online purchases for any reason, and 30 days for faulty goods. The Range cannot exclude these rights. Keep packaging and proof of purchase. Clearance items marked 'as seen' or 'final sale' may have additional restrictions noted at point of sale.

Hi The Range team,

I'm writing to request a refund for my recent The Range subscription charge.

Under applicable consumer-protection law (the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, EU Directive 2011/83/EU, or US state auto-renewal laws — whichever applies in my jurisdiction), I'm exercising my right to cancel and to recover the payment in full. Please confirm by reply that the cancellation has taken effect and that the refund will be processed to my original payment method.

If your policy allows a pro-rata refund for any unused service, I'd appreciate that being applied here.

Best,
[your name]

Wait 7-14 days, then escalate
If you haven’t heard back in 14 days, see “If they refuse” below — Section 75 is the next stop.
