Return Policy
We want you to be happy with your order. Your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 always apply. Because we are a pharmacy, special rules apply to medicines for everyone’s safety.
Last updated August 2026
Medicines cannot be returned
For safety and legal reasons, medicines (including prescription, pharmacy and over-the-counter medicines) cannot be returned or refunded once they have left the pharmacy, unless they are faulty or we made an error. We are unable to re-use or re-sell returned medicines.
If you have medicines you no longer need, please bring them to any branch and we’ll dispose of them safely, never put them in the bin or down the drain.
Other products
For non-medicine items bought online, you may cancel within 14 days of receiving them and return them unused, in their original sealed packaging, for a refund. Some items can’t be returned once unsealed for hygiene reasons (for example intimate, personal-care or refrigerated products).
Faulty, damaged or incorrect items
If something arrives faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, contact us as soon as you can and we’ll arrange a replacement or full refund, including any delivery costs. We may ask for a photo to help us put it right quickly.
Refunds
Approved refunds are made to your original payment method via Stripe, normally within 14 days of us receiving the returned item or agreeing the refund.
How to start a return
Email info@chemist-nearme.co.uk or speak to any branch with your order reference, and we’ll guide you through it.
