Conformity of goods

We take every care to ensure that the description and specification of our products are correct at the time of going to press. However, specifications and descriptions of products on this Website are not intended to be binding and are intended only to give a general description of the products. Furthermore, while the colour reproduction of the products is a close representation, we cannot accept any responsibility for any variation in colour caused by the browser software or computer system used to view the products.

Stock availability

We endeavour to display all items currently available on our website, and aim to hold stock of all styles and sizes while a product is active. Occasionally, an item will be out of stock. If this is the case and we expect more stock to become available, this will be highlighted in your bag. The stock status for your order will also be shown on your order confirmation. If the item is available to purchase on pre-order, we will provide a promise date for expected delivery. However, if a product is truly out of stock, you will not be able to add it to your bag.

Your right to cancel

You have a legal right to change your mind and cancel your order within 14 days of receipt and receive a refund of all charges for the cancelled goods and the delivery charges. We will process the refund without delay and in any event not later than (a) 14 days after the day we receive back from you any products supplied; or (b) if there were no products supplied, 14 days after the day on which we receive your cancellation notification. This includes the delivery fees incurred by The White Company for EU deliveries, for which we will refund the equivalent amount charged for delivery. You will then need to return the item(s) either to one of our stores (except concessions in department stores) or by post. Parcels returned by post are returned at your own cost. For more information on how to change or cancel your order before dispatch, please see further the Placing an Order page. Please see further the Returns page for information on how to cancel your order after receipt of your products.

Gift service

We will endeavour to wrap your item as requested. Some items are too large and we will not be able to gift wrap them. Where you have asked us to use only one box or bag we will endeavour to do so, however, if the items will not fit and we have to use more than one, you will be charged for each box/bag used.

Our returns policy

We want you to be delighted with your purchase, but if you are not, you can return any item within our returns period, provided the products are returned complete, in perfect condition, unused, unwashed and with their original packaging.

If you return any products in accordance with our returns policy, we will be happy to offer you an exchange or, if you wish, a refund provided that the products are returned complete, in perfect condition, unused, unwashed and with the original packaging. Items can be returned outside this period if they are found to be faulty but please take extra care to read our Product Care Information page or any specific care instructions provided with your purchase. Return of an item is at your own cost unless the item is faulty. For further details please visit our Returns page.

From 1st January 2021, returns from EU countries will be subject to UK VAT (20%) for goods valued at £22 or more and EU customers will now be required to complete customs declarations to import the goods into the UK. In addition, import duty may be payable on goods valued over £135. The White Company pays all import taxes and duties on your behalf. Please contact the customer services team with proof of payment of duty and VAT and we will reimburse you. EU customers will continue to be responsible for paying carrier costs as per the existing return process.

Returning your items

Please provide proof of purchase when returning an item to one of our stores. If you are unable to provide proof of purchase at our store, an exchange or gift card to the value of the lowest-selling price for the returned goods will be offered. A refund will be offered regardless if the goods are faulty.

In addition, our carriers will complete all necessary customs paperwork to ensure there are minimal delays with orders from EU countries

General terms and conditions

Recycling electricals

Recycling your old electricals is easy!
Recycle your electrical and electronic devices free at your local recycling centre. To find your nearest centre, visit the Recycle More website and type in your postcode.

Why recycle?
Unwanted electrical equipment is the UK's fastest growing type of waste. Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination - harming wildlife and also human health. We're proud to support your local authority in providing local recycling facilities for electrical equipment. To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with this symbol) in your bin.

What is WEEE?
The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items.

How are we helping?
In the UK, distributors including retailers must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. As a responsible retailer, we have met the requirements placed on us by financially supporting the national network of WEEE recycling centres established by local authorities. This is achieved through membership of the national Distributor Take-back Scheme (DTS). To find more information on WEEE recycling and to locate your nearest recycling centre please visit the Recycle More website.

Triman compliance

For our activity in France, we’ve registered with the Triman governing bodies, who run recycling schemes that help customers understand how to responsibly dispose of products and packaging. As part of this, we are registered with:

  • Citeo (Unique Identifier Number FR362737_01SXUA)

  • Refashion (Unique Identifier Number FR362737_11YNXI)

  • Screlec (Unique Identifier Number FR362737_06HKGT)
