Shipping policy

1️⃣ Return Policy

We do our best to ensure all of our customers enjoy a happy shopping experience with letsbuybooks.com; however, occasionally you may need to return an item.

To return an item(s), please write a covering letter with your order reference number and return it with your invoice and goods to:

Unit 2, Vulcan House, Vulcan Road, Leicester, LE5 3EF

We recommend returning your items via tracked post. Clearly state on the invoice the reason for return and whether you require a refund or exchange. We can only exchange items for the same product.

Personalised items are non-returnable. Some goods are non-returnable for hygiene reasons. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Returning an unwanted item?

If a full refund, including original delivery costs, is required, the entire order must be returned within 30 days. You are responsible for return postage costs.

The goods must be in their original packaging (including seals or shrink-wrap) and in sellable condition. Refunds will be processed within 30 days of receipt.

If goods are defective, we will inspect them and confirm your refund via email. Refunds are processed within 30 days of confirmation.

Refunds will be made using the same payment method. If not possible, a cheque will be sent to the address on the order.

Responsibility

You are legally obligated to take reasonable care of goods while in your possession. Failure to do so may result in compensation claims.

If shrink-wrap has been removed, the item cannot be returned. Returned goods are inspected before processing. This policy does not affect your statutory rights.

2️⃣ Delivery Policy

We pride ourselves on offering unbeatable prices and promotional offers on a wide range of products. We minimise delivery costs to offer maximum value.

If value is your priority, choose Standard UK Delivery (may take longer). For faster delivery, select our Express Services, which prioritise your order for quick dispatch via premium couriers.

EU Import Tax Charges

Deliveries outside the UK may incur import duties payable at checkout. Customs clearance charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Lets Buy Books does not cover these fees.

Please check all potential customs charges before placing your order to avoid unexpected costs. We only accept orders under €150. For larger orders, contact us for UK freight forwarding options.

4️⃣ Cancellation Policy

UK/EU consumers have the right under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 to cancel an order within 14 days of receipt or service commencement.

Refunds will be processed according to your legal rights. For more information, contact your local Trading Standards department or Citizen’s Advice Bureau.

Cancellation rights do not apply to customised or perishable goods, or unsealed audio/video recordings or software. Items such as underwear (with hygiene patch removed) or cosmetics (seal broken) cannot be returned.

Additional Terms

Where additional sale terms apply, review them carefully for cancellation eligibility.
