The short version
Damaged, wrong or short-dated? We replace or refund it in full, no argument. Changed your mind about an opened supplement? We cannot take it back — it is a sealed consumable and reselling it would be unsafe. Unopened and unused, within 7 days, we will.
1 · Cancelling before dispatch
You can cancel any order at no cost before it is dispatched. Contact us or cancel from your account. Refunds are processed within 5–7 working days to the original payment method.
2 · What we will always take back
- Damaged in transit — packaging crushed, bottle broken, seal compromised.
- Wrong product — not what you ordered.
- Short-dated — less than 45 days of shelf life, or 30% of total shelf life, remaining on arrival, whichever is the shorter.
- Manufacturing defect — a faulty spray pump, a broken seal, anything visibly wrong with the product itself.
- Unopened and unused, in original sealed packaging, reported within 7 days of delivery.
In every one of these cases we cover return shipping and you get a full replacement or a full refund, whichever you prefer.
3 · What we cannot take back
- Opened supplements, for change of mind. Once a seal is broken we cannot verify storage or handling, and reselling would be unsafe. This is standard for consumables and it is a safety position, not a commercial one.
- Products reported more than 7 days after delivery, unless there is a manufacturing defect.
- Products not bought from 3basics.com or an authorised seller.
- "It did not work for me." We publish honest timelines precisely so you can decide before buying — three months for BASE, and Vitamin D status is measured rather than felt. We would still very much like to hear from you if a product did nothing; that is useful and we will always reply.
4 · How to raise a return
- Email hello@3basics.com or message us on WhatsApp within 7 days of delivery.
- Include your order number and a photograph of the issue. The photograph genuinely speeds this up.
- We respond within 2 working days with a decision and, where applicable, a collection arrangement.
- Once we receive and check the item, we process the replacement or refund.
