If the status of your order is showing as 'order processing', it means that we're getting your order ready to be sent out.

All returns must be made within 28 days of receiving your order.

Start a return

Items can be returned either to your local branch or by post.

• If you return items to an Arnold Clark Autoparts branch, we can send it back to the Arnold Clark Autoparts e-commerce team free of charge. Please still print off and complete the returns form before bringing it, and your unwanted goods, into the branch. Please note, our branches are not able to issue a refund or exchange for goods that you receive by post.

• We will refund any postage charges where the return has been due to an error on our part. Otherwise you will need to meet the cost of postage unless otherwise agreed by Arnold Clark Autoparts. Please make sure the returns form is filled in and included in your returns package. 

We aim to process returns within 48 hours of receiving them. We’ll email you once the return is complete. We suggest that you make a note of the shipping reference given when you sent the item back. This will allow you to track your parcel at every stage of delivery, including when we receive it. If it looks like we have received your return item, and you have not been contacted within 48 hours of delivery, please contact us.

We can only issue a refund after the goods have been returned to us. We aim to process all refunds within 48 hours of receiving returned items, providing that they are undamaged and in a sellable condition. All refunds will be made via your original payment method.

We will refund any postage charges where the return has been due to an error on our part. Otherwise, you will need to meet the cost of postage, unless specifically agreed by Arnold Clark Autoparts.

If you’re returning an unsuitable item for a refund, we’ll refund the cost of the item only – not the original delivery cost. If you’re returning a faulty item for a refund, we’ll refund both the original shipping costs and the return delivery costs.

If there is a situation where you wish to exchange an item instead of having it refunded, please contact us and one of our specialist team will go through your options.

We’re really sorry if we’ve made a mistake with your refund. If this is the case, please contact us and we’ll aim to put things right as quickly as possible.
