Most eligible George Clothing and George Home products can be returned to a participating Asda store.
For an online order, the customer should normally begin the return through their George account, obtain a QR code and take the packaged item to the collection point shown for the selected store.
Online George returns cannot be dropped off at Asda Express stores. Customers should therefore check the Asda store locator before travelling, particularly because the supermarket’s general opening hours may differ from its George Click & Collect or returns-point hours.
George currently offers a 100-day guarantee on most eligible clothing and home items. Proof of purchase is required, and separate rules may apply to non-George products, third-party goods and restricted items.
Faulty or misdescribed products are also covered by statutory consumer rights, which operate separately from George’s voluntary returns policy.
ASDA George returns at a glance:
| Return situation | Where to return it | Usual time limit | What to take |
| Eligible George item purchased in store | An appropriate Asda store Customer Service point | Up to 100 days | Item and proof of purchase |
| Eligible George online order | A participating Asda collection or returns point | Up to 100 days after delivery or collection | Packaged item and returns QR code |
| Non-George or third-party product | Follow the product’s applicable Asda policy | Often 30 days | Item, proof of purchase and packaging |
| Faulty or misdescribed product | Store or George Customer Service | Legal rights may apply beyond the voluntary deadline | Item and evidence of purchase |
| Product recall | Follow the instructions in the recall notice | Recall-specific | Usually the affected product; receipt rules vary |
The 100-day guarantee should not be treated as a universal deadline for every product sold by Asda. The brand, product type, purchase route and reason for returning the item all matter.
What Is the George Returns Policy?
The George returns policy is Asda’s voluntary promise allowing customers to return most eligible George Clothing and George Home items within 100 days when they are not satisfied with the purchase. Depending on the item and return route, the customer may receive a refund or exchange.
For an online purchase, the 100-day period runs from delivery or collection. George advises customers to start an online return through their account, where the available return methods will be displayed.
This policy is broader than the minimum legal position for an unwanted item purchased inside a shop. UK law does not ordinarily require a retailer to refund an in-store purchase simply because the buyer has changed their mind, selected the wrong size or no longer wants it.
George’s voluntary guarantee can therefore provide an additional option, provided the return satisfies its conditions.
The policy must also be distinguished from the general Asda returns policy.
Asda’s current general guidance gives a 30-day change-of-mind period for relevant products, while eligible George products benefit from the longer 100-day guarantee.
Third-party or specially supplied products may have their own conditions.
A customer should check four points before making an ASDA George return in store:
- Whether the product is George-branded
- Whether it was purchased online or in a shop
- Whether the return is due to a change of mind or a fault
- Whether the chosen store offers the required return service
Can You Return George Items to Any ASDA Store?
Not every Asda location is suitable for every George return. Most customers can use a participating full-size Asda store offering the relevant George Click & Collect or returns service, but online George returns are specifically excluded from Asda Express stores.
The safest approach is to search for the selected branch using Asda’s official store locator. The locator allows customers to search by town or postcode and view available facilities, including George Click & Collect.
Returning a George Item Purchased in Store
A George item bought inside an Asda store should normally be taken to an appropriate Customer Service desk with proof of purchase.
The item does not necessarily have to be returned to the original branch, but customers should check with the proposed store where the purchase involves a restricted product, an unusually high-value item or a specialised department.
The 100-day guarantee requires proof of purchase. A paper receipt is the clearest evidence, although another reliable purchase record may help where the receipt has been lost.
Acceptance will also depend on why the product is being returned. An unwanted product is considered under George’s voluntary policy, while an item that is faulty, unsafe, misdescribed or unfit for purpose may also engage statutory rights.
Returning an Online George Order to an ASDA Store
For an online order, the customer should begin through the George account used to place the purchase. The online process identifies the items being returned and provides the available return methods.
Where an in-store return is offered, the customer takes the securely packaged parcel and QR code to the collection point.
The QR code is scanned at the store so that the returns label can be printed and attached. Asda Express stores are not included in this service.
The customer should keep the return receipt or other confirmation until the refund has appeared. This evidence can be important if the parcel is delayed or the returned item is not registered correctly.
How to Find a Participating ASDA Store?
The store locator should be checked for:
- George Click & Collect availability
- The location of the collection or returns point
- Service-specific opening hours
- Whether the store is described as a Standard Refund or Faster Refund location
- Temporary, Sunday or bank-holiday changes
Individual store pages may provide precise instructions, such as using a parcel dropbox, kiosk or internal touchscreen.
They can also show whether a branch offers a Standard Refund of up to 14 working days or a Faster Refund of approximately three to five working days.
How Long Do You Have to Return Something to ASDA?
The return deadline depends on the product. Most eligible George Clothing and George Home items have a 100-day returns period, while Asda’s general change-of-mind policy commonly provides 30 days for other qualifying products.
The 100-day George Returns Period
George’s 100-day guarantee applies to most eligible unwanted clothing and home items. For online purchases, George states that most items can be returned within 100 days after delivery or collection. Proof of purchase is required.
The guarantee does not mean that every product can be used freely for 100 days and then returned automatically. Product-specific conditions, hygiene restrictions and the nature of the return may affect the outcome.
Customers should also avoid assuming that every product appearing on George.com is covered by the same period.
Third-party products may instead have a 30-day policy and conditions requiring them to be unused, in their original packaging and suitable for resale.
The 30-day ASDA Returns Period
Asda’s general returns and exchanges policy asks customers to make an eligible return within 30 days of purchase, preferably with proof of purchase. This period is relevant to products that do not qualify for the George 100-day guarantee.
The difference is important. A shopper with a George-branded jumper may have up to 100 days, while a non-George item purchased during the same visit may be subject to a shorter deadline.
Faulty Items and Returns After the Normal Deadline
The end of a voluntary return period does not automatically remove a customer’s legal rights. A full refund may be required where goods are faulty, not as described or unable to do what they are supposed to do, depending on when the fault is reported and the circumstances.
For goods returned within six months, the retailer may be required to repair or replace the product unless it can show that the item was not faulty when purchased.
After six months, the customer can be asked to demonstrate that the problem existed when the product was supplied.
Claims can potentially be made for up to six years in England and Wales and five years in Scotland, although this does not mean every product must last for that entire period.
Product recalls follow separate instructions. A recall notice may allow an affected item to be returned to the nearest Asda store without a receipt, but customers should rely on the terms of the particular notice rather than assuming that rule applies to an ordinary return.
What Do You Need for an ASDA George Return?
Customers should bring the item, proof of purchase and any return information generated through their George account.
Proof of Purchase
Possible evidence includes:
- The original till receipt
- An online order confirmation
- The purchase shown in the customer’s George account
- A collection or delivery email
- A gift receipt
- A bank or card statement
For the George 100-day guarantee, proof of purchase is an express condition. For statutory claims, a retailer can also ask for evidence that the item was purchased from it; GOV.UK notes that this may include a receipt, bank statement or packaging.
Product Condition, Packaging and Labels
For a straightforward change-of-mind return, the customer should keep the product complete and return all components, accessories and packaging where applicable. Tags should remain attached where possible.
A product that has been damaged by the customer, altered, heavily used or returned incomplete may not qualify under a voluntary change-of-mind policy. This is different from a product returned because it developed a genuine fault.
Online shoppers are legally allowed to handle a product in a similar way to how they would inspect it in a shop. However, a deduction may be made where the item has been used or damaged beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect it.
What to Take for an Online Return?
An online ASDA George return in store will normally require:
- The packaged item
- The returns QR code
- The order number
- The email address connected to the order
- Any return confirmation
- A mobile phone displaying the QR code
The QR code should be saved or screenshotted before travelling in case the store has a weak mobile signal.
How to Return a George Online Order to an ASDA Store?
The online return process can be completed in seven steps:
- Sign in to the George account used for the order.
- Open the relevant order and select the item being returned.
- Choose the available in-store return option.
- Generate and save the returns QR code.
- Package the item securely.
- Take the parcel and QR code to the collection point in a participating Asda store.
- Keep the return receipt until the refund arrives.
The exact choices displayed can depend on the item and order. George states that beginning the return through the online account is the quickest route.

Before You Travel
Return eligibility depends on the product, its condition, the purchase method and the reason for returning it. Always check the latest official policy before travelling.
Can George Purchases Made In Store Be Returned Through the Online Portal?
The George online returns system is primarily designed for products purchased through George.com.
An item bought at a physical till may not appear in the customer’s online order history and therefore cannot normally be processed through the same account-based return flow.
A customer returning an in-store purchase should take the item and proof of purchase to an Asda Customer Service desk. The item should not be posted to an address found online unless George or Asda has specifically instructed the customer to do so.
How Do ASDA George Refunds and Exchanges Work?
Eligible products may qualify for a refund or exchange under the George 100-day guarantee. The available outcome depends on the return reason, purchase method, payment method and stock availability.
How is the Refund Paid?
A refund will normally be connected to the original payment route. George states that a refund for an item purchased with a gift card is returned to that gift card, making it important to keep the card after buying the item.
A refund for an eVoucher purchase is credited to the customer’s George.com account.
Customers should tell the store colleague where a purchase used more than one payment method or a combination of a payment card and voucher. These transactions can require the refund to be divided between the original methods.
How Long a George Refund Can Take?
George’s Help Centre says a refund can take up to 14 days to reach the customer’s account from the date the return is started. Its refund page also advises allowing up to 14 working days for processing before making contact.
Store-specific information introduces an important distinction:
- Faster Refund stores: commonly state approximately three to five working days
- Standard Refund stores: commonly state up to 14 working days
Asda store pages identify which process applies at a particular location.
Because the official wording uses both “days” and “working days” in different places, customers should use the timeframe shown on their return confirmation and the selected store’s service page.
They should keep the receipt and contact George Customer Service when the stated period has passed.
Can an Item Be Exchanged Instead?
George advertises a refund or exchange for eligible products under the 100-day guarantee. An exchange will nevertheless depend on the required size, colour or replacement being available.
For an online order, the return process may offer a refund rather than a direct exchange. The customer should follow the options displayed in the account and place a new order where a replacement is not offered.
ASDA George Returns In Store Contact Number
The ASDA George returns in-store contact number is 0330 053 0111. George’s official returns page lists this number for its Customer Service team.
Before calling, the customer should prepare:
- The George order number
- The purchase or delivery date
- The product name and size
- The store used for the return
- The return receipt or parcel reference
- The payment method
- The date the return was started
Providing these details can help the adviser trace a parcel or investigate a missing refund more efficiently.
ASDA George Returns In Store Contact Number Opening Times
The current ASDA George returns in store contact number opening times are:
| Day | George Customer Service hours |
| Monday to Friday | 8am–8pm |
| Saturday and Sunday | 8am–6pm |
These hours are shown on George’s official returns page alongside the Customer Service number. As contact hours can change, customers should recheck the current returns page before calling.
Local Asda Store and Returns-desk Opening Times
George Customer Service telephone hours are not the same as local store hours. A supermarket may remain open later than its George Click & Collect point, Customer Service desk or collection kiosk.
For example, official store pages show that service hours vary significantly between locations and can be shorter on Sundays.
Customers should therefore check the exact George Click & Collect times for their chosen branch rather than relying only on the main supermarket opening hours.
ASDA George Returns Customer Service
ASDA George Returns Customer Service can assist with online return problems, missing refunds, faulty products and orders that cannot be located through the customer’s account.
Contacting George Online
The George Help Centre provides guidance on:
- Starting an online return
- Checking the refund process
- Dealing with a faulty item
- Finding the correct return route
- Resolving problems with an order
Self-service through the George account is generally the first step for an ordinary online return.
Getting Help Inside an ASDA Store
A store’s Customer Service desk can help with purchases made in that store and may direct online customers to the George Click & Collect or returns point.
Store colleagues may not be able to resolve every online-account or payment issue.
Where a refund has not been processed or the system does not recognise a return, the customer may need to contact George Customer Service using the order and return references.
Escalating a Missing Refund or Disputed Return
A customer reporting a missing refund should retain:
- The store return receipt
- A photograph or copy of the returns label
- The order confirmation
- Emails confirming the return
- Bank or card statements
- Notes recording the date and time of previous contact
George advises customers to allow the applicable processing period before contacting the support team.
Can You Return George Items Without a Receipt?
An unwanted George item is not guaranteed to be accepted without a receipt or another form of proof. The 100-day guarantee specifically requires proof of purchase.
A customer who has lost the paper receipt may still be able to show:
- The order in a George account
- A confirmation email
- A bank or card statement
- A gift receipt
- Packaging that helps identify the purchase
For a faulty-product claim, UK guidance allows a retailer to ask for evidence that the item was purchased from it, but that evidence does not have to be a conventional till receipt.
Product recalls can be different. Some Asda recall notices explicitly say that no receipt is required. That exception applies to the named recalled product and should not be treated as the normal rule for all George returns.
Products That May Be Excluded from the George Returns Policy
Not every item is automatically covered by the same change-of-mind return terms. Restrictions may apply to:
- Sealed products opened after purchase
- Hygiene-sensitive goods
- Personalised or custom-made items
- Products that are incomplete or customer-damaged
- Third-party products
- Items supplied under separate warranty terms
- Goods governed by product-specific return instructions
UK distance-selling rules also contain exceptions for personalised goods, perishable products, unwrapped software and sealed products that cannot be returned for health or hygiene reasons after opening.
Customers should check the current product page, George returns policy and terms supplied with the order.
Older descriptions of George exclusions may no longer reflect the live policy, so a current official page should take priority over historic articles or third-party returns guides.
ASDA’s Returns Policy Versus UK Consumer Rights
George’s 100-day guarantee is a retailer policy. UK consumer rights are legal protections and cannot be removed by a store’s own return conditions.
When a Customer Changes Their Mind
For an item purchased in person, a retailer is not normally legally required to issue a refund merely because the customer no longer wants it, chose the wrong size or prefers another colour.
A voluntary policy such as the George 100-day guarantee may still allow the return.
For most online, telephone and mail-order purchases, customers generally have 14 days after receiving the item to tell the retailer they wish to cancel. They then have another 14 days to send it back. Exceptions apply to certain products.
When the Product is Faulty or Misdescribed
A faulty, misdescribed or unfit product is not simply a change-of-mind return. Depending on the purchase date and circumstances, the customer may be entitled to reject the product, request a repair or replacement, receive a price reduction or obtain a refund.
Sale items have the same statutory protection as full-price items. A reduced price does not remove the customer’s rights unless the specific fault was clearly disclosed before purchase.
Why the 100-day Guarantee is Not the Same as Consumer Law?
The George guarantee gives eligible customers a defined period in which they may return products under the retailer’s terms. Statutory rights apply independently and may continue after the 100-day period where the product is faulty.
This section provides general consumer information, not legal advice. Customers with an unresolved dispute can obtain independent guidance through Citizens Advice in England and Wales, Advice Direct Scotland or Consumerline in Northern Ireland.
Common ASDA George Return Mistakes to Avoid
Common problems can often be avoided by checking the process before visiting the store.
Using an Asda Express store: Online George return drop-offs exclude Asda Express locations.
Not starting the return online: An online order should normally be selected through the George account so that the correct QR code is generated.
Checking only the supermarket hours: The George collection point may close earlier than the main shop.
Forgetting the QR code: Without the code, the store may be unable to print the correct return label.
Taking an unpackaged parcel: Online return instructions require the customer to bring the parcel to the collection point.
Discarding the return receipt: The receipt is important evidence until the refund has been received.
Assuming every product has 100 days: Non-George and third-party products can have shorter deadlines.
Expecting an immediate refund: Standard Refund stores can take up to 14 working days, while selected Faster Refund stores state three to five working days.
Treating a faulty item as an ordinary unwanted return: Customers should clearly explain the fault because different rights and remedies may apply.
Conclusion
ASDA George returns in store are generally straightforward when the customer identifies the correct return route.
Most eligible George Clothing and George Home products can be returned within 100 days with proof of purchase, while other Asda or third-party products may have a 30-day deadline.
Online customers should start the return through their George account, save the QR code, package the item and use a participating Asda collection point. Asda Express stores are excluded from online George return drop-offs.
Before travelling, customers should check the chosen branch’s George Click & Collect hours and whether it is a Standard or Faster Refund store.
Any unresolved return or missing refund can be raised with ASDA George Returns Customer Service on 0330 053 0111.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can George sale items be returned to an ASDA store?
A sale item does not lose its statutory protection because its price was reduced. For a change-of-mind return, acceptance depends on whether the item meets the current George policy and product conditions. Faulty sale items have the same legal protections as faulty full-price goods.
Can an online George order be exchanged in store?
George’s guarantee refers to refunds or exchanges, but the available option depends on the item, stock and return route. The customer should start the return online and use the choices displayed for that order.
Do George products need their original tags?
Customers should keep tags attached for a change-of-mind return wherever possible. The final decision depends on the product, its condition and the reason for returning it. A genuine fault should be assessed separately from an ordinary unwanted return.
How long does an ASDA George refund take?
George says refunds can take up to 14 days from the start of a return, while its refund guidance also refers to allowing 14 working days. Store pages may identify Faster Refund locations offering an estimated three-to-five-working-day process.
Can worn George clothing be returned?
The outcome depends on the reason for the return and the policy conditions. A customer should not assume that an item can be worn extensively and returned simply because fewer than 100 days have passed. Clothing returned because of a genuine fault should be described as faulty rather than unwanted.
Can a faulty George item be returned after 100 days?
Potentially. The 100-day guarantee is separate from statutory rights. Depending on the circumstances, legal remedies for a genuine fault may remain available after the voluntary return period has ended.
Can George products be returned to an ASDA Express store?
Online George return parcels cannot be dropped off at Asda Express stores. Customers should use the Asda store locator to find a participating location offering the appropriate George return service.
Can someone else return a George order for the customer?
The returns process may require the order information, QR code and proof of purchase. However, UK guidance states that a retailer is only legally required to accept a return from the person who bought the item. The customer should contact the store or George Customer Service before sending another person.
