What Is the Tesco Refund Policy?

Tesco requires anyone seeking a refund for their products to return them within thirty days and proof of purchase. However, you need to note that every product has a different return process.

Here's a breakdown of the refund process for specific products:

• Returning store-purchased products: Return the purchase to the store, preferably the one you purchased from. Products purchased from Tesco Express can be returned to any Tesco store. You can also return products from other retail formats to any store except a Tesco Express.
• Returning online-purchased products: You can return freshly delivered products with the delivery driver or a colleague associated with the Click + Collect option. If your products have been delivered, you can return them to any store except a Tesco Express within the use-by-date timeline.
• Returning electronic toothbrushes and ink cartridges: You can return in-store purchases like electronic toothbrushes and cartridges as long as you have their proof of purchase and return it within thirty days.

Tesco applies various refund policies for different products. Visit their return and refund policy page to learn more about this.

How to Get a Tesco Refund

Tesco has varying refund processes depending on the type of item being returned and where it was purchased. If you prefer requesting a refund on your own, you can check the steps below.

Returning Store Purchases

For in-store purchases, you must return the item together with the proof of purchase, preferably where you purchased it from.

• For Tesco Express purchases, they can be returned to any Tesco store.
• For larger Tesco store purchases (Extras and Superstores), they can also be returned to any Tesco store except Tesco Express stores.

Returning Online Items

If during the time of delivery, you decide you wish to return the item, you may simply hand them back to the driver and Tesco will process the refund to your payment card.

If the item has been delivered and you decide to return a while later, you must bring the item to any Tesco Store (excluding Express stores).

How Do You Receive a Tesco Refund?

Tesco refunds purchases in a similar process used to buy them. Here are three ways that they use to refund their customers:

• Credit or Debit Card - Tesco will refund your money using the same card if a credit or debit card was used to purchase the item/s. The refund should be posted in your account within 3-5 business days.
• Clubcard Vouchers - Tesco will refund your Clubcard points for your in-store purchases. Grocery orders purchased online will be refunded through your debit or credit card.
• Gift Cards or Money Cards - Tesco will refund your money back as a gift or money card.

Please note that Tesco would refund you based on the promotional price if you purchased a product at an offer price. However, if you made your purchase based on promotions such as buy one, get one free, the promotional price will not apply, and Tesco will adjust the prices accordingly.

If you purchased your products with more than one payment option and returned some of the goods, your refunds will be completed in the following order:

1. Clubcard vouchers for in-store purchases
2. Gift cards
3. Credit or debit card

Purchases made through coupons are considered used when a shopper returns some of the goods bought using them. You can only redeem your coupon in future purchases if you're returning all goods associated with the coupon.
