I have proof of postage showing the weight of the item but it sounds like I haven’t got a leg to stand on and Boots just get away with it!
Thanks. 🫤0 -

We filled in the returns form, followed the link to Royal Mail and booked a free return and asked Royal Mail to collect. This was done, the tracking showed it was delivered a couple of days later, but no response from Boots so we emailed them. Their reply was they don't accept returns unless there's proof of postage from a Post Office. It said nothing about this on the form! We are 9 miles away from the nearest post office, and COVID vulnerable.
We have emails to show; the Royal Mail tracked collection was booked, collected, the next day, and a tracking reference which I printed off to show it had been delivered.
It would have the same tracking info we had taken it to a post office.
The terms and conditions they refer to are there on a web page, somewhere, but not on the form (which I think came with th e goods we ordered, but I can't be sure.)
Any suggestions as to how to get a refund or replacement.
And why isn't a Royal Mail collection acceptable?
Did you ever get a refund or replacement? Kind regards0
