How to Get a What's Your Size UK Refund.
Inside 14 days you have a statutory cancellation right in most jurisdictions (UK CCR, EU Directive 2011/83, US state auto-renewal laws). Outside it, you've still got tools — a clear email, a card-issuer chargeback, the lot. Here's the playbook for What's Your Size UK.

The short answer
What's Your Size UK operates an exchange-or-store-credit-first policy rather than free refunds. Faulty or wrong items must be reported within 7 working days with photos; unwanted items generally need to be returned within 14 days of receipt. Return shipping is only reimbursed up to £5.99 UK / £40 international, and some 'high-end' items (e.g. Goyard) are explicitly marked non-returnable. Refunds are processed within 3–5 working days after the parcel is received; Klarna refunds show in the app immediately and hit your card within 5 business days.
Or let yoink chase the refund.
