RETURNS POLICY

World of Camping endeavours to make sure all our customers are happy with their purchase, and we do this by being confident that the products we retail are of the highest quality and are from reputable suppliers. There may be occasions when there will be a need to return an item and we have a policy in place to try and make this process as easy as possible for you.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our customer services team on 01209 20 32 20 or email info@worldofcamping.co.uk. It is often possible to remedy problems very easily and quickly once we are aware of them, sometimes without the need to return goods.

Please carefully read our returns policy as laid out below.

Once your order has arrived, please check the product/s as soon as possible. The cooling-off period, during which you can cancel your order is 14 days from the date of delivery, although we extend this period for our customers.  Please see the right to cancel an order in the below sections.

IMPORTANT NOTE - When checking your product/s please do so in a clean and dry environment. We would recommend using a local hall (church, sports, or community) in your area, particularly for any tents, awnings, or very large items. Please make sure when purchasing a large item like a tent or awning that you keep the box it arrives in for some time, particularly the first thirty days, as all couriers need these items in boxes should you need to return your item to us for any reason. 

This stage must be completed before making any attempt to use outdoors. This will ensure that items that need to be returned are still in good condition – it will also ensure that your holiday will not be spoilt!   

Once you have reached the stage that you have decided a product needs to be returned, please read & complete (where necessary) 1-7 of our requirements below: 

1. We request all items returned should be accompanied by a completed Returns Form. If you are unable to print this form then, at the very least, please include a cover letter with your order details, full contact details and information as to why the item is being returned to us. Please also state if you require an exchange or a refund. Your order number must be on all correspondence, not doing this can cause delays in processing your return.

2. After allowing our customers reasonable time for inspection, we request the items are returned with their original packaging where possible. Any unwanted item must be unused and in an 'as new' condition.

3. All Items must be securely and safely packaged for the journey back to us, as insufficiently packaged goods may become damaged in transit. 

4. We recommend that you use a signed for or tracked service to return items, as we cannot be responsible for items lost or damaged in transit.    

5. Customers are responsible for the cost of return postage. For faulty items, the cost of postage is refundable.

6. While we make every effort to ensure that orders are picked and packed correctly, errors can happen. If we have sent the incorrect item to you, we ask that you contact us as soon as possible (preferably within 24 hours of receipt) so that we can arrange a no-quibble exchange which will be free of any charge. If the item is small, we may ask that you return it via Royal Mail. If you return any incorrect items at your own expense, please note that we can only refund the return postage to a maximum of £8.00 with a proof of postage paid receipt (available from the Post Office).  

7. Please check all items on delivery to ensure that the correct item has been received, that the item is not damaged and that all component parts are included. Incorrect items, incomplete items, missing items, or transit-damaged items should be reported to World of Camping at your earliest opportunity, preferably within 24hrs of the delivery. If your parcel does arrive appearing to have been damaged in transit, you are within your rights to refuse the parcel or to sign for it as damaged.

RETURNS PROCESSING

Once the item is received, it will be processed through our returns department by one of our team. Every effort will be made to do this as quickly as possible.

Unopened and unused items are usually simple to process. Unfortunately, where there is a problem or fault with goods it will take longer to make a thorough and in-depth inspection. We aim to process returned orders within 14 working days from the date the item arrives back at World of Camping and if points 1 to 7 above have been adhered to under our returns policy.

Any refund will be issued within 14 days of any agreement by us to do so, this will be implemented through the same means by which the initial payment was made. You will be notified by email on the day the refund is processed.

 

YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL AN ORDER

You have the right to cancel an order, at any point, beginning from the day after the day the order is delivered, up to 14 working days for a full monetary refund, in accordance with the Consumer Contracts Regulations (2013). World of Camping will extend this period to a full 30 days, or to the end of January for items purchased as Christmas gifts during the preceding December.

After allowing our customers reasonable time for inspection, we request the items are returned with their original packaging. Any unwanted item must be unused and in an 'as new' condition.  

Please note: - portable toilets cannot be cancelled or returned for hygienic reasons unless still sealed and in all their original packaging and unused. 

All Items must be securely and safely packaged for the journey back to us, as insufficiently packaged goods may become damaged in transit.

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, World of Camping will refund 'original' postage costs for returned goods, except for any customer whose order contains several items and returns all, but one. In this case, none of the postage costs will be refundable. Please also note that we will only refund the standard cost of postage even if you paid for next-day delivery.

World of Camping will not be responsible for any items 'returned' postage costs. We will, in most cases, be happy to arrange for such returns to be collected, however, we reserve the right to subtract our costs in doing so from any refund due to you, the cost for a collection of a package is £12.00. You are entitled to return items by any service you deem reasonable but request you obtain a signed for service as we cannot be held responsible for any items lost or damaged on the journey back to us through your own chosen service.

 

DAMAGED OR FAULTY ITEMS

Our customer service team will ask that you email us at info@worldofcamping.co.uk with a photograph of the fault or damage, especially for tents and awnings, even if this is for leaking items. World of Camping reserves the right to reject a claim if the customer has already disposed of an item before speaking with our customer services team for a resolution.

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, all our customers have a right to reject faulty goods within 30 days of receipt of goods for a refund. You can also have an exchange or swap for a different item if this is your preferred option at this point. After 30 days, we will offer an exchange or repair, if we are not able to do this then a refund will be considered, however, we are entitled to deduct an amount for usage, if appropriate.

World of Camping will then organise a collection from a requested address on a suitable date. This is not a timed collection service although we will do our best to accommodate customers' specific requirements.

Once back, the item will be checked through by our returns team or the product manufacturer.

Health and Safety at work regulations require goods to be returned clean, dry, and hygienic for inspection and repair. If the tent is dirty or wet, it could create mould spores which can be dangerous to inspection staff.

 

WARRANTIES

When it comes to using tents and awnings in bad weather, it is important to note that doing so may void any warranty that comes with the product. This is because tents and awnings are typically designed for fair weather conditions and may not be able to withstand heavy rain, high winds, or other severe weather events.

There is a big difference between a little bit of rain and a storm that will bring strong winds and maybe hail. If you know a big storm is moving into the area, do your best to act fast and take down your awning or tent. By doing this, you never have to concern yourself with something going wrong in inclement weather. Instead, you can store your awning or tent appropriately and wait for the storm to pass.

It is important to know how to take down your awning or tent fast in case a storm moves in quickly. Continuing to use these products in such conditions can cause damage that is not covered under warranty, leaving you with costly repairs or replacements. Therefore, it is always best to use caution and common sense when using tents and awnings and avoid using them in bad weather if possible.

 

DAMAGES IN TRANSIT

If your order arrives with obvious damage to the packaging, we recommend that you refuse the delivery or sign it as damaged. Please notify us within 24hrs of the attempted or actual delivery. Photographs would be greatly appreciated in this instance of the packaging and/ or the damaged item, emailed to info@worldofcamping.co.uk. In most cases, items damaged in transit will need to be collected in the original state of delivery for examination by the courier. Please try to retain the packaging, which will help with this process.

Our customer service team will plan for the exchange of the item or to re-send replacement goods to you as soon as possible. There will be no additional charges to the customer in this event.
