Our refund policy does not affect your statutory rights in respect of faulty or damaged goods.
Proof of Purchase
No refund or exchange will be given without a receipt, dispatch note or other proof of purchase.
Taking Care of Our Goods
You will naturally wish to inspect the products you order. However, whilst you are deciding whether to keep your purchases, you do have a statutory duty to take reasonable care of the goods.
Therefore, please ensure you do not damage the items (or the packaging where it forms part of the goods, for example, boxed products and gift items) and, if you wish to return anything, that it reaches us in perfect condition.
Where you have failed to take reasonable care of the goods, whether whilst in your possession or when returning them, we reserve the right to refund you in full less any amount due by way of compensation, to either repair the goods or to cover any loss.

- Health 1st Pharmacy Gift Vouchers

- Products that have been reduced or that are part of a sale
- Free items
- Other items may be added to this list from time to time
This does not affect your statutory rights in respect of faulty, incorrect or damaged goods.
In addition, the following items can only be returned within our refund policy providing it is in its original condition (including the packaging where it forms part of the goods, for example, boxed goods and gift items) and for hygiene or safety reasons have not been worn, opened, assembled or used and any seals on the product remain unbroken:

Refunding Delivery Charges
Provided you have notified us in writing that you wish to cancel your order under the Consumer Contract Regulations, and the return also meets the terms of our Online Returns & Refund Policy, you will be entitled to a full refund including delivery charges if applicable.
We are unable to provide a refund of the delivery charges when only part of your order is being cancelled.
