Delivery
Orders will be sent to the delivery address that you have provided in your online order form. M&S cannot be held responsible if that delivery address is incorrect or incomplete.

Any paid delivery charge will be included in your refund once we have received all (not part) of your order to the specified address below. Please note that the delivery charge refund will be to the value of standard delivery.
If you wish to cancel (or are considering cancelling) a product you have ordered from us, please be aware that statutory rights of cancellation under the CRD do not apply to certain products and services (for example, made to measure orders, flowers, plants, fruit baskets, lingerie (for hygiene reasons), food, gifts and personalised items) or any products with a hygiene seal where the seal is broken. In addition, this right to cancel does not apply to goods or services purchased in store.
Exercising your right to cancel
To exercise your right of cancellation, you must inform us of your decision to cancel the contract in writing within 14 days after the day on which you received the goods you ordered, which you can do by filling in the parcel summary when you return your order. You may also use the model cancellation form, but this is not obligatory.
You must take reasonable care of the goods while in your possession. You shall send back any goods or hand them over to us, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation of the contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back any goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning any goods to us. In the case of furniture, collection arrangements must be made promptly at your cost (currently a charge of €75 for furniture (except next day delivery (T84) furniture), see individual product pages for details).
Products should be returned in or with their original packaging. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the unnecessary handling of the goods in excess of what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods. You must return the goods to an M&S store in the Republic of Ireland or the following Specified Returns Address:
