Returns & Exchanges

Returns & Exchanges – now easier with AtLast

We want you to love your purchase. If not, returning it is simple and hassle‑free.

Use our AtLast portal (powered by Whistl/ParcelHub) to book a home collection or drop off at a local point — whatever suits you best.

Start Your Return

Large & Bulky Returns (e.g. garden furniture, pallet deliveries): please do not use the portal. Contact orders@bents.co.uk to arrange a collection or return for oversized items.

How to return an item

Click Start Your Return to open the AtLast portal and select the item(s) you’re returning.

Choose a return method: local drop-off or courier collection from your address.

Print your label or use a QR code where offered by the carrier.

Send it back and track your return. We’ll process your refund once received and checked.

Returning items in store

You can return eligible items to our store. Please bring your order confirmation or proof of purchase. Our team will be happy to help at the customer service desk.

  • Items should be unused and in original packaging (unless faulty).
  • Refunds are processed back to the original payment method once inspected.
  • For large garden furniture or palletised goods, please email orders@bents.co.uk first to arrange the most suitable method.

Our returns policy

Standard returns

  • Returns window: 28 days from the day you receive your order.
  • Items must be unused, in original packaging and in saleable condition (unless faulty).
  • Include all accessories, manuals and any free gifts.
  • Please package securely to avoid damage in transit.
  • Refunds are issued to your original payment method after inspection (allow 5–7 working days to appear).

Faulty or damaged items

If your item arrives faulty or damaged, start the return via the portal and choose the relevant reason. Our team may request photos to speed things up. We’ll resolve it as quickly as possible.

Exchanges

For the fastest turnaround, please complete your return via the AtLast portal and place a new order for the replacement item. Once we receive your original item back and complete our checks, we’ll process your refund right away.

Return costs

Return costs are shown transparently in the AtLast portal during booking. Charges may vary by parcel size, weight and chosen method (drop‑off or collection). If your item is faulty or damaged, we’ll cover the cost once verified.

Large & Bulky Returns: garden furniture and palletised deliveries must be arranged via orders@bents.co.uk rather than the portal.

Guarantees

Product guarantees

Many branded products include a manufacturer guarantee or warranty. If your item develops a fault within the guarantee period, contact us and we’ll advise the next steps. In some cases we may direct you to the manufacturer for a quicker resolution.

  • Keep your proof of purchase and any guarantee card or registration details.
  • We’ll help with troubleshooting and, where appropriate, repair or replacement pathways.

Plant guarantee

Our home‑grown hardy plants are sold with a guarantee to grow. If a guaranteed plant fails, please return it with proof of purchase and we’ll be happy to offer a suitable resolution in line with our plant policy.

  • Bring the plant (or clear photos), pot/label if available, and your receipt/order confirmation.
  • Environmental factors (e.g., extreme weather, incorrect planting/care) may be excluded — our experts can advise.
