Your Favourite UK Brands In Spain

Some of your favourite UK brands have a very limited (or non-existent) bricks & mortar presence in Spain, so buying online is the only option. Delivery charges are low or even free, but normally you’ll have to pay for returns. Make sure you read our tip on how to avoid returns charges.

Online purchases in the EU come with a 14-day “cooling off” period, however not everything is covered. Items such as jewellery, cosmetics and underwear, as well as personalised goods. The advantage of being able to return stuff if you’ve just changed your mind is not so great if you need to pay for returns, so if you’re not sure weigh up your options first.

Faulty and damaged goods returns shouldn’t be at your expense; however most companies expect you to foot the bill and then you’ll be reimbursed.

When paying for returns most companies request that you use the normal postal service, not courier, and to request a proof of postage instead of using registered delivery.
