The short answer

TK Maxx gives 28 days from purchase or despatch to return items in original, unused condition with tags and receipt/despatch note for a full refund to the original payment method. Online shoppers also have a separate 14-day statutory right to cancel the contract. Refunds typically take 3-5 working days. Delivery charges and postal return costs are not refundable unless the item is faulty. Pierced jewellery and gift cards are excluded.

How long does a TK Maxx 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 TK Maxx’s own policy works on a 28-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.
