How do I return an item?

THECODE is an online marketplace, so all returns are made by post.

• Return instructions and the correct return address can be found in My orders in your account. Just select the order you would like to return this will take you to the returns portal to make your return.
• Returning Multiple Orders: If you’re returning items from multiple orders/retailers, please use the return labels that correspond to each order. This helps us process your returns accurately.
• Please ensure that the items you’re returning are in their original condition, with all tags still attached. This means the item should be unworn, unwashed, and in the same state as when you received it.

Exceptions: The following products may not be returned: 

• Tags removed, worn or washed items
• Partial returns for items that came as part of a set (e.g. a tracksuit)
• Due to hygiene reasons, underwear and swimwear may not be returned. Earrings may not be returned unless in original sealed wrapping completely intact.

What if my item is faulty, damaged or incorrect items:

If you believe your item is faulty, please get in touch with us at [email protected] and our team will be happy to help. A free returns label will be provided.

Do I have to pay for my return?

This depends on the reason for your return:

• Faulty or incorrect items: returns are free of charge
• Change of mind / size or fit: return postage may be deducted from your refund if using a provided returns label, or paid by you if returning independently. If the Seller offers free returns this will be advertised/made clear on the product page before you purchase.

Any applicable costs will always be made clear before you complete your return.

What items can’t be returned?

For hygiene and safety reasons, we can’t accept returns on:

• Underwear
• Face masks
• Earrings
• Swimwear

These items may only be returned if a hygienic seal is included and remains intact.

Can I exchange an item?

If you would like an exchange, please email our support team at [email protected] and we will be more than happy to help accommodate this for you depending on stock availability and in accordance with retailers exchange policy.

To exchange a product for a different size, the original item must first be returned and received. There’s no exchange fee using this process.
