How to return equipment to us
When we need you to return your equipment, we will send you a returns bag within 7 days. Once you receive this, follow the included instructions.
If we've asked you to return equipment and you need another bag or need one sent to a different address, contact us on 0330 123 1105.
Take it to the Post Office
Attach the returns label to the returns bag and take it to your nearest Post Office.
Keep your proof of postage until we let you know that we've received your equipment. This usually takes about 7 days.
Arrange for Royal Mail to collect from your home
You can book an at-home collection by picking the day you want them to come and paying a fee. This fee is subject to change, so please check the charges on the Royal Mail website.
When you schedule your collection, you'll need to enter the tracked reference from the postage label in your returns bag. It'll look something like AB 1111 0000 1C. If you have any questions about your collection, please contact Royal Mail.
In-store collections
Our stores are only accepting mobile phone returns at the moment, so please don't bring your other equipment in.

You can still return equipment after you're charged
We'll credit you the full amount back to your account if you return the equipment to us within 2 years. If your account is closed, we’ll send a cheque to your last known address.
Why do we recycle, refurbish or repackage equipment?
Today, we refurbish more than 400,000 broadband hubs and TV boxes yearly and recycle half a million more. Refurbishing that kit prevented 170 tonnes of electrical waste from going to landfill.
Do the right thing for the environment: return the equipment you no longer need. We’ll do the rest. We’re determined to do our bit to protect the planet, so when our equipment’s no longer needed, we recycle or refurbish it for free.
