We hope you're happy with your new device, but just in case you’re not here’s our returns and exchanges policy.
New and unused.
If you want to return or exchange your device, it must be in “as new” and "unused" condition, without any damage or marks. It must be returned with all packaging, manuals, accessories and any free gifts that came with it.
Unfortunately, if we get a device sent back to us that doesn’t meet these criteria we won’t be able to accept it and it will be returned to you. If we accept a device back from you, but it doesn’t meet these criteria we reserve the right to charge you a fee to restore its condition to new. Details of these fees are available upon request.
When we say:
- “Used” we mean making or receiving calls (both voice and video) or texts or browsing the internet from your device. If you’ve bought an Apple device from us, this includes removing the cellophane wrapping or registering your device to iTunes by connecting it to a computer.
- “As new” condition we mean that the device, packaging, manuals, accessories and any free gifts that came with the device must be complete and free of any damage or marks.
If you’ve bought or upgraded your device in a 3Store we’ll only be able to offer you an exchange. You can exchange your device within 7 days (starting from date of purchase) provided you haven’t used it and it is in an ‘as new’ condition (see above). If you bought an Apple device from a 3Store and removed the cellophane wrapping you won’t be able to exchange it.
Web Cube
If you bought your Web Cube from one of our 3Stores, you may return or exchange it within 14 days of purchase. You’ll need to go back to the same 3Store you bought it from. If you’re thinking about returning or exchanging your Web Cube, you must return it in “as new” condition. You’ll need to provide your receipt or delivery note as proof of purchase. Please note that you may be charged for data used.
If you’ve bought or upgraded your device via Three Telesales, or bought a new device from Three.co.uk, you can do a ‘one time exchange’ or return your device within 14 days (starting from date of receipt) provided you haven’t used it and it is in an ‘as new’ condition (see above).
Web Cube
If you bought or upgraded your Web Cube from Three’s telesales team or if you’ve bought your Web Cube from Three.co.uk and you change your mind and want to exchange or return it, you must tell us within 14 days of purchase.

You’ll need to provide your receipt or delivery note as proof of purchase. Please note that you may be charged for data used.
If you bought your device from a third party retailer (not one of our 3Stores, Three.co.uk or our Telesales team) and you want to return it, please refer to that store’s return/exchange policy. Only your selected third party can deal with your return. If you have used any of our services, you will be charged for what you've used.
