How do I return or exchange an item?

Please return your purchase(s) in its original condition with proof of purchase e.g. a copy of your invoice/receipt together with a reason as to why it has been returned.

To return or exchange an item by post, please also re-package your purchase securely and post it as tracked delivery* to the following address:

Football Nation Returns Dept

Unit 7

Peffermill Business Parc

Edinburgh

EH16 5UY

*Football Nation cannot be held responsible for any goods not received

We’ll then assess the item(s), once received & provided it is in a re-saleable condition, we’ll arrange for a refund or an exchange in line with The Consumer Contracts Regulations if bought online/over the phone. CHARGE TO RE-SEND AN EXCHANGE - A further postage of £4.95 will be chargeable if your original order was below £50.00

The Consumer Contracts Regulations applies to all purchases you make at a distance e.g. online or over the phone.  Your right to cancel an order for goods starts the moment you place your order & ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.  If your order consists of multiple goods, the 14 day period runs from when you get the last of the batch.

This 14 day period is the time you have to decide whether or not to cancel. You then have a further 14 days to actually send the goods back. Provided these conditions are met, a refund will be processed within 14 days.

You can of course call us on 0131 228 8614 if you wish to exchange an item for another size or style, or if you need any help.

Alternatively, our email address is shop@thefootballnation.co.uk & we will respond to you with further guidance. Please always quote your order number.

Products that can’t be returned

o    Personalised items e.g. shirts with a name/number applied cannot be returned.
o    Any teamwear orders that involve personalisation cannot be returned once printed or embroidered
o    Online gift vouchers cannot be returned
o    Those with no proof of purchase (subject to Store Manager authorisation)
o    Delivery charges

If you are returning an item which you claim to have purchased but you have no receipt, then a refund will not be issued. It is at the discretion of the Store Manager/Business Manager to permit staff to spend further time carrying out additional checks to confirm the stock as belonging to Football Nation & to confirm the transaction. This may take up to 24 hours. We may then issue a gift voucher or offer an exchange which will be to the value of the current selling price.

Standard delivery charges will not be refunded once the item(s) has been posted to you & subsequently returned to us. In circumstances where an error has been made by Football Nation & you need to return an item, then we will refund the original charge for delivery e.g. £4.95 standard delivery.

What should I do if I receive the wrong item?

In the unlikely event that we send you the incorrect product/size, we will refund the cost of return postage back to the payment method which was used to purchase the item. Please send the item back to the address above by tracked delivery & enclose proof of postage costs. Football Nation will not refund any postage costs above the amount paid in your original order e.g. £4.50 for standard delivery.

As soon as we receive the returned product, we will contact you to advise you of this and will dispatch the correct product whilst also issuing you with the postage refund.

What should I do if I receive a faulty or broken item(s)?

If you receive an item which you believe to be broken or faulty then please Contact Us, ideally within 24 hours, to allow us to address the issue quickly. 

On certain occasions we may ask for images of your item(s) to be emailed to us for prior assessment.

When can I expect my refund?

Once we have confirmed safe receipt of your returned item(s), we’ll then assess the item(s) and provided it is in a re-saleable condition then we’ll arrange for a refund or an exchange.  We’ll refund the person who placed the order & paid for it.

We aim to process refunds as quickly as possible, however during busy periods this can take a few days. Once it has been processed by Football Nation, it is then the responsibility of your card issuer to release the funds to you. Paypal refunds should be immediate, however please refer to their terms and conditions to confirm their timeframes once we have authorised a refund.
