Returns Policy
Last updated: 4 June 2026
Summary
- You have 14 days to cancel any online order for any reason.
- Items must be returned within 14 days of cancellation, in the same condition as received.
- Refunds are issued within 14 days of us receiving the return.
- If an item is faulty or not as described, we cover all return postage costs.
- For change-of-mind returns, return postage is at your expense.
1. Who this policy applies to
This Returns Policy applies to all purchases made directly through the GotGotNeedCollectibles website. It does not apply to purchases made through third-party platforms such as eBay or Etsy — those purchases are governed by the respective platform's buyer protection policies, which may offer additional rights.
We are a UK-based business and all transactions are subject to the laws of England and Wales.
2. Your right to cancel — Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013
As a consumer purchasing goods online, you have a statutory right to cancel your order under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. This right applies regardless of whether the goods are faulty.
We will refund the full purchase price including the original standard delivery charge. We are not required to refund enhanced delivery charges beyond the cost of standard delivery.
3. Condition of returned items
To receive a full refund, returned items must be:
- In the same condition as when you received them — unused, unaltered, and undamaged.
- Returned with all original packaging, certificates of authenticity, grading cases, and any accessories that were included.
- Securely packaged to prevent damage in transit. We recommend tracked and insured postage — we cannot accept responsibility for items lost or damaged on return.
If an item is returned in a condition worse than received — for example, a damaged grading case or missing COA — we reserve the right to make a reasonable deduction from the refund.
4. Graded cards and authenticated memorabilia
We deal in graded cards (PSA, BGS, CGC, and other services) and authenticated signed memorabilia. Please note:
- Graded cards must be returned in their original grading case, undamaged and uncracked.
- Signed memorabilia must be returned with all certificates of authenticity and documentation. Items without original authentication cannot be refunded at full value.
- Minor natural wear consistent with a stated condition grade is not grounds for a change-of-mind return, though your rights for items not matching their description under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 remain fully intact.
5. Faulty or not as described — Consumer Rights Act 2015
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described. If your item fails these standards:
In all cases where an item is faulty or not as described, we will cover the full return postage cost. Contact us at info@gotgotneedcollectibles.co.uk with your order number, a description, and photographs where relevant.
6. Items not eligible for return
The following are excluded from change-of-mind returns under Regulation 28 of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013:
- Sealed products (e.g. sealed trading card packs or boxes) that have been opened after delivery.
- Custom or personalised items made or altered to your specification.
7. How to make a return
8. Refunds
Refunds will be issued to your original payment method. Depending on your bank, it may take 3–10 business days for funds to appear after we process the refund. We will not charge any restocking or administration fee for valid returns.
9. Items damaged in transit
If your item arrives damaged:
- Photograph the damaged packaging and item before handling it further.
- Contact us within 48 hours of delivery at info@gotgotneedcollectibles.co.uk, attaching photos.
Transit damage is covered — we will arrange a replacement or refund and deal with any courier claim on your behalf.
10. In-person sales at card shows
The 14-day cancellation right applies to distance contracts (online sales) only and does not apply to goods purchased in person at card shows. However, your Consumer Rights Act 2015 rights for faulty or misdescribed goods apply to all sales regardless of how they were made.
11. Contact us
We aim to respond to all returns queries within one business day. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may seek assistance from Citizens Advice on 0808 223 1133.
This Returns Policy was prepared in accordance with the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights.
