Under the United Kingdom's Distance Selling Regulations you have the right to cancel your order for any item purchased from Atom Retro, for a full refund. This does not apply to items marked with a "+" next to the product name. 'Final Sale' items are also cannot be returned.
Order cancellations must be made in writing to returns@atomretro.com, within 7 working days of the day after you receive the goods, quoting your order number and requesting a Returns Authorisation Number (RAN).
If your order has already been processed, you will need to return the order to us.
Please keep a note of your RAN and quote this if you need to contact us again about your return.
Please read the 'Return or Exchange an item' section below.
i. To Return or exchange an item:
If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase or need to exchange for a different size, please email us at returns@atomretro.com to request a Returns Authorisation Number (RAN). We endeavour to reply to emails within 24 - 48 hours, (Working days only) if you haven't recieved a reply within this time please contact us again. (Please note our emails can sometimes be mistaken for spam, so check in your spam or trash folder).
When you have recieved your RAN, simply return the item or items to us in their original condition* within 14 days of receipt. Please include your completed Returns Form (this will be sent to you via email along with your RAN).
We will issue a full refund (excluding original delivery charge) on receipt, or exchange the item for a different size, colour or item if preferred. Some products are non-returnable; these are clearly marked with a '+' next to the product name.
Please note:
The cost of returning the item to us is your responsibility. (This includes items which are refused upon delivery, where applicable).
The item is your responsibility until it reaches us. For your own protection, we recommend that you send the parcel using a delivery service that insures you for the value of the goods.
We will try to accomodate any exchange requests for different items/sizes as much as possible, even if a size, etc is not on our website currently (ie. by back ordering it for you). We will advise you of any problems in your exchange when you request your RAN or when we have received your item back.
Postage for sending exchanged items back to you is complimentary for your first exchange. (We may require postage to be repaid for subsequent or re-exchanges. This will be at our descretion). This does not include returns which are returned for credit. Credit notes are considered refunds, and so the credit note will be for the value of the returned items only and not any delivery charges.
All items must be returned in the condition in which you received them, with all tags attached and packaging intact, etc. Items must not have been worn and must not have been tainted by any odour, ie. smoke, perfume, aftershave, deodorant etc. Shoes with damage, marks or scratches to soles or upper will be considered as worn and will not be accepted. Shoes must be returned in their original unmarked box. Please do not use the shoebox as outer packaging, but wrap this in something else to return. Defaced/spoilt shoe boxes will not be considered to be in an acceptable condition.
Where goods are returned in a damaged, worn or dirty condition, which indicates that they have been worn or used after you have had a reasonable chance to inspect them on receipt, we will consider you to be in breach of your legal duty to take reasonable care of the goods and reserve the right to recover appropriate sums from you.
We will email you when your item has been recieved back. Returns and exchanges usually take only a few days to process but please allow up to 10 working days. (Items for exchange which are not in stock will be placed on back order for you, this may take a little longer).
Refunds will be made via your original method of payment.

All Refunds and/or exchanges will be at our descretion. The cost and risk to return items is the buyer's responsibilty. This includes any courier fees which may be incurred if an order is refused upon delivery.

Unauthorised Returns: Unauthorised Returned items will not be accepted and/or processed. Please ensure you obtain a Returns Authorisation Number (RAN) before you return any items to avoid problems and delays. Please note, we cannot process your return without your returns form and/or the information on it.
International Returns: Items being returned from countries outside of the EU will have to fill in a customs form. It is your responsibility that you declare the goods you are returning accurately and correctly. You MUST declare the returning goods as 'Returning goods for refund/exchange'. If you do not declare this on your returning parcel it may be delayed in UK customs or may be returned to you. We are unable to pay any customs fees which are levied on parcels which are declared incorrectly and it will be returned to you without being delivered. (Eg. a parcel which is declared incorrectly is any which is declared as anything other than a return (ie. sale, etc) or any where the value of the goods has been declared artificially high (ie. if you declare a £20 item as worth £100 etc). If the goods which you have sent back to us are kept in customs because you have not declared the parcel correctly, we will not have received them. Because it is your responsibility to declare the goods correctly and accurately, legally you will not have returned the goods to us / kept them in your care, and so will not be entitled to any refund / exchange.
