When you place your order we’ll send you an email confirming that the order has been placed and the items you’ve ordered.

When your order has been dispatched from our warehouse, we’ll send you a second email to confirm this. If you don’t receive an email within 4 working days, please get in touch with our crew at customerservices@fatface.com.

We use Royal Mail for UK Standard Tracked Delivery and UK Express Delivery.

You will be given a two hour delivery window via text and/or email. You can track your order at any time using Royal Mail Track and Trace.

Whilst you will be kept informed of your delivery window, we do know that sometimes you might just miss it! If this does happen, you will be informed by email and may also receive a calling card. You will be able to arrange a redelivery via email or by following instructions on your calling card.

We do recommend downloading the Royal Mail app, where you can manage your delivery - including adding a safe place, leaving with a neighbour or collecting from your local Post Office.

Royal Mail may text you to let you know your order is on the way or out for delivery - you will also receive emails that confirm this information too.

Royal Mail will never ask for payment for a redelivery. If you receive a text message that you are unsure or suspicious of, we advise to not click on any links. You can also report potential scams to Royal Mail.

You can find further information on how to stay safe when shopping online here.

You will be able to select Click and Collect as a delivery option at checkout. Simply select the store you wish to have your order delivered to and let us take care of the rest!​

You will be able to send your order to any of our UK stores (excluding Channel Islands, London Bridge and airport stores).

Click and Collect won’t be a delivery option for orders placed in-store.​

Click and Collect orders will usually be delivered to your chosen store 5-7 days after the order was placed. Please note that during promotional periods orders may take an additional 2 working days to arrive.​

We will let you know via email once the store receives your order. You can then pop in to collect it. We will also send you a reminder email after 5 days if your order has not been collected- we wouldn’t want you to miss out on your new kit!​

You have 14 days to pick up your order once you have received your ‘ready to collect’ email.​​

After 14 days, uncollected orders will be processed for a refund to your original payment method, and you will receive an email from us confirming this. You can expect your refund to clear in 3-5 days after receiving your refund email confirmation.​

The items from your order are placed into store stock. If for any reason you wish to have these items still, give the store a call and they will be happy to put the item(s) on hold until you can collect them. You will need to repurchase them upon collection and will be given a store receipt as new proof of purchase.​

We ask that you take your collection confirmation email or order number and a proof of ID - we can accept a debit/credit, driver’s licence or passport.​

If you’d like someone else to collect your order on your behalf, we do just ask that they have a copy of your collection confirmation email and a proof of ID.

Yes of course, we would love for you to try items on! Our friendly store teams are on hand to offer advice and answer any additional queries you have when trying on your new kit. You can return your items in store, however orders made using PayPal or Klarna will need to be posted back to us using the postage label in your parcel.​

Your Account

No problem – all you need to do is grab a password reminder. You can find this at the 'Login/My Account' section of the site. Simply click on the 'Forgotten your password?' link and we'll email it over to you.

Placing an Order

We can accept the following cards and payment methods online:

Sadly, we’re not able to accept Visa Electron, Solo or Laser.

To redeem a discount code, select the basket icon, click ‘View Bag’ and enter the code into the ‘Add a Promotion Code’ box. If you proceed to checkout without entering your code you’ve gone too far and need to go back to your Shopping Bag. You can only use one promotional code per order.

Double check you haven’t clicked through to the checkout before adding your voucher code, as it can only be entered while you’re in the Shopping Bag. Make sure you are entering into the ‘Add a Promotion code’ box and not the 'Gift Card/E-Voucher' section. Voucher codes are set to expire after a certain time, so it might be that you’re using an outdated code. Most of our vouchers are for single use and case sensitive. They also cannot be used during Sale periods, and you can’t use more than one on a single order.

This is simple to fix – as long as the code was valid at the time of ordering, all you need to do is wait until you receive the parcel, then email us with the code and your order number. We'll then refund the amount back to you.

Unfortunately, we can’t add to orders, but if you place another order within a few hours of your original order, then email our Customer Experience Team, they will be happy to refund you one of the postage charges once you receive your order. Please note that they will need your payment details.

Unfortunately, we’re not able to split a single order. If you need to split an order, please place more than one order. Once your orders have arrived, email our Customer Experience Team and they will be happy to refund you, so you only pay one delivery charge.

Unfortunately, our website does not currently allow you to change or cancel anything yourself. We are also unable to edit an order once it has been placed. If you need help with this, please email our Customer Experience Team who will try their best to resolve the situation for you - but we may have to ask you to wait for the order to be delivered for it then to be returned to us.

Payment is taken at the point of ordering. If for any reason your item is not dispatched we will ensure you are refunded within 3-5 working days.

Unfortunately we cannot take orders over the phone. However, if you need help placing an order online, you can ring our friendly team on +44 (0)330 124 0000 Mon-Fri 9am-4pm, who will be more than happy to talk you through placing your order. You can also visit your nearest store and they can place an order for you.

Please note that from time to time we may close the lines for training purposes.

Goods are not allocated to you until order confirmation is sent to you – adding items to your shopping basket does not reserve them.

You can buy Gift Cards online here or in store. Gift Cards can be redeemed instore or online at www.fatface.com. To do so, simply head to your basket, click ‘PROCEED TO PAYMENT’ and select ‘PAY WITH A GIFT CARD'. Here, you will need to enter the 16-digit number found on the back of the card. You will also need to enter your 4-digit PIN. You can find this by scratching off the small silver panel to the right of the barcode.

Please note that we can only accept a maximum of 3 Gift Cards per transaction.

Terms and Conditions

  • You can use your FatFace Gift Card in-store or online at www.fatface.com as full or part payment on your purchase.
  • If your order exceeds the value of the Gift Card, you can pay the remaining balance using a credit or debit card, or cash if purchasing in-store. Please note, Gift Cards cannot be combined with Apple pay.
  • Gift Cards cannot be exchanged for cash.
  • Your Gift Card is valid for 24 months after your last transaction (which includes balance enquiries). After this, your Gift Card will expire and the remaining amount will be deducted.
  • We’re really sorry – Gift Card transactions can only be made in GBP.
  • Treat your Gift Card like cash. If it gets lost, stolen, or damaged, we are unfortunately unable to replace it.

There’s a foil scratch off strip on the back of the card next to the card number. Scratch this foil off to reveal the pin.

You can use your Gift Card in the country/currency in which it was bought. For example, if your Gift Card is in GBP, you can use this on our UK website and in our UK stores.

We are currently accepting One 4 All cards instore only. Please retain your card after making your purchase, as should you wish to return any items bought using a One 4 All card, we will use this payment method to refund you.

We do not accept Love2Shop cards, but you can exchange them for a FatFace e-gift card by visiting www.love2shopdigital.co.uk. The FatFace e-gift card can then be used in our UK stores and on our website.

Should you wish to return any items bought this way, please be aware they will be refunded onto a FatFace gift card.

Your Security Code is just a little extra security for online and phone transactions. This number can be located on the signature strip on the back of your card – we only require the last 3 digits of this number.

We will not decline transactions at checkout, only authorise the amounts – if your bank does decline, please contact them directly so they can rectify this for you. Please be advised that the authorised amount will show on your account for around 7 working days, regardless of a successful transaction being made. This amount has not been debited, it has only been ring-fenced from your available balance.

This means that the details you've given us do not match the details your bank has for you - please ensure your billing address matches your statement address exactly. Rather than attempt multiple transactions online, it's best to give our Customer Experience Team a call on 0330 124 0000, who will be happy to place your order over the phone.

Additional checks are run on all orders with certain criteria, for your safety as well as ours. The call to complete this check will be very brief and we will never ask for your full card details. Please be aware that if your order has been flagged for a security check and you do not contact us within 4 days your order will be cancelled.

Once your order's gone through, you should receive an email with an order number. If you don't receive an email, just double check that you've spelled your email address correctly - it's also worth checking your junk mail. If you've checked and you're still unsure, please email our Customer Experience Team who will be happy to look into this for you. You can also give one of our friendly crew a call on +44 (0)330 124 0000, Monday to Friday 9am - 4pm and we will be happy to assist you.

Orders: As we ship from Fat Base here in the UK, from 1st January 2021, orders from all EU countries that have an order value over €150 will be subject to import duty. FatFace covers all import taxes and duties on our customers behalf. In the extremely rare event that the charges are passed on, please call us on +44 0330 124 000 to allow us to be able to reimburse you. For this, we will need your card details and you can expect your funds reimbursed in 3 -5 working days. For countries outside of the European Union, charges may apply when the goods reach their destination. We don't have any control over the amounts charged. Please note that if your order is over a certain weight, we may have to split the delivery into more than one parcel resulting in more than one charge – unfortunately this is beyond our control.

Returns: From 1st January 2021, returns from EU countries are subject to UK VAT (20%) for goods valued at £22 or more. In addition, our EU customers will now be required to complete customs declarations to import the goods to the UK. In addition, import duty may be payable on goods valued over £135. However, FatFace will pay all import taxes and duties on your behalf. Please email us your proof of payment of duty and VAT, along with your phone number so we can arrange your refund. Once we have processed your refund, you can expect your funds reimbursed in 3 -5 working days.

Product Information

Our size guide can be found here, or on any product page. This is only a guide as every product is cut differently. If you're at all worried, just email our Customer Experience Team, who will be able to give you a bit more information.

To keep your leather and suede looking as good as new and lasting longer, leave it to dry naturally and brush the dirt off with a stiff bristled brush so it comes right off. When drying, don’t put anything on a radiator, as this may cause stains. And if you can, stuff newspaper inside to absorb the moisture. See below a list of the type of fabric protectors to use, always remembering to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

  • Suede: Suede Protector Spray.
  • Nubuck: Protector Spray. Be careful as this may darken nubuck colours.
  • High Shine Leather: Polish of the correct shade, buffing to shine.
  • Oily Leathers: Aqueous Wax Solution. Please be aware this will cause nubuck colours to darken.

To keep your wool items looking great and extend their lifespan, we suggest following these steps; always check the care label instructions, use a mild non-bio detergent and avoid fabric softener, fold away (rather than hang) and if you do get pilling or bobbling you can shave this with a lint shaver or de-bobbler.

One way to extend the lifespan of your products is to care for them properly. Here are a few hints and tips;

  • Wash items inside out (especially denim).
  • Wash at 30°C and less frequently.
  • Do use non-bio or eco-friendly detergents and don’t use fabric softener.
  • Store denim in the freezer instead of washing (yes, really!).​
  • Skip the tumble dryer and air-dry clothing.
  • Make sure buttons are fastened, zips are up, hook and eyes on bras are done up and put these into a laundry bag to avoid snagging.
  • Store spare buttons in a jar in case you need to replace one and mend your own where possible.

Why not check out our Ultimate Laundry Guide or Clothing Care pages for more handy hints?

Orders shipped to the UK, or within the European Union (regardless of invoicing address) are liable to pay VAT at the current rate.
