How to Get a WeightWorld UK Refund.
Inside 90 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 WeightWorld UK.

The short answer
For one-off WeightWorld home-brand supplement orders, the 90-Day Money Back Guarantee is the main route: claims must be made within 90 days of purchase, it applies only to purchases made directly on WeightWorld sites or by phone (not resellers), and devices are excluded, faulty devices get repaired or replaced instead. Delivery costs are not refunded unless the product was faulty, and WeightWorld asks for at least 10 working days to process a refund or exchange. For Subscribe & Save recurring deliveries there is no automatic refund window: cancelling stops future charges, and an already-shipped subscription box has to be returned by contacting support by email, which is also the only way to get a written trail. Separately, your statutory distance-selling cancellation/withdrawal rights sit on top of the guarantee, the policy itself says the MBG is in addition to your statutory rights.

How long does a WeightWorld UK 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 WeightWorld UK’s own policy works on a 90-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.

It only covers products bought directly from WeightWorld's own sites or over the phone, wholesale and reseller purchases are excluded.
