All product tags and information MUST be attached to the product, and the product should be returned in perfect condition. Any goods returned that do not meet this criteria cannot be accepted for a refund. We recommend you use an Insured trackable service to return any goods to Scott Country.

Please ensure any returns are accompanied by our RETURNS FORM which you can download by clicking here.

Should you return an item to us without paperwork or identifying address, labels etc, and we are therefore unable to identify who sent the package or the reason for doing so, we will keep these items for a minimum of 6 months, and if no contact is made, we will then dispose of the package accordingly.

We will of course make every effort to contact customers who return items for any reason, but if we are unable to despite making every effort, it is then deemed reasonable for us to dispose of the item after this period.

Recovery of goods after cancellation

When you, the consumer, exercise your right to cancel the contract, ownership of the goods reverts to Scott Country. Consumer regulations impose a responsibility to you, the consumer, to take 'reasonable care' of any goods that have been supplied to you from Scott Country. You , the consumer, also have a duty to restore the goods to Scott Country, you must therefore return the goods to Scott Country, or make them freely available for collection by our appointed courier. If you do not freely return the goods, at your cost, to Scott Country then we may have to deduct any reasonable costs we incur in recovering the goods from you. This will be deducted from your refund.

Consignment tracking details for successfully processed orders will be accessible for a maximum of 150 days after which time it will be assumed that ordered goods have been successfully delivered if no contact has been made by the customer during this period.

(We are unable to make a claim or track orders despatched by way of courier after a period of 150 days)

DPD PIN CODE on deliveries

We value our service to you, and have now implemented DPD Pin Code.  DPD will text you a Pin Code which has to be provided to the driver at the point of delivery to ensure that your goods are delivered to only you, or someone who has your permission to accept.

This ensures your goods are never left unattended without your permission, and that the parcel delivery is totally secure from our door to yours.

Goods Damaged in Transit

Thankfully goods being damaged in transit is exceptionally rare, but it can occur.

We normally send goods using an insured service by DPD Couriers , therefore should you receive goods that are damaged, we are usually able to make a claim against the courier.

However, claims are only valid if goods are Signed for as damaged, which means you may have to check the contents before signing for the parcel.

We cannot guarantee a claim for damage will be successful, should goods be signed for normally, and later found to be damaged.

What Happens if I am unable to accept my delivery at that time DPD provide?

If you (the customer) requests DPD (our courier) to leave your parcel with a neighbour or in safe place either via DPD text, or direct instructions or via historical instructions given to DPD to be applied to your deliveries, then you (the receiver) accepts full responsibility for parcels that are left in a safe place or delivered at request to a neighbour etc.
