How to cancel your Bo+Tee order and secure your refund in ireland
What Bo+Tee is and why irish customers cancel
Bo+Tee is a performance-focused activewear brand selling leggings, sports bras, hoodies and seasonal athletic pieces through its website and retail partners. The brand caters to fitness enthusiasts seeking style and functionality, but many Irish customers find themselves reassessing purchases after ordering. Common reasons include fit concerns, unexpected costs, delayed delivery, or accidental subscription renewals. If you have placed an order with Bo+Tee and now wish to cancel, you have strong legal protections under Irish consumer law. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate this exact situation, and this guide walks you through every option available to you under the Consumer Rights Act 2022.
Understanding Bo+Tee's product range and costs
Bo+Tee's core offering spans mid-priced activewear with frequent promotional campaigns. The brand emphasises fast delivery and fashion-forward design, but additional costs-shipping, returns subscriptions and optional membership-can accumulate quickly. When you decide to cancel, understanding these costs directly affects your refund outcome and the urgency of your action.

When cancellation makes sense
You may want to cancel if the item does not fit, arrived damaged, or you have changed your mind within the return window. You should also cancel if you subscribed to the delivery service accidentally or no longer need recurring shipments. Yafee helps you determine whether cancellation or a return best serves your situation-and crucially, whether you have a legal entitlement to a refund. If you are uncertain whether your circumstances qualify, contacting Bo+Tee's customer service team is always your first step.
Your consumer rights under irish law
Irish consumer protection law grants you strong rights when purchasing from online retailers, and Bo+Tee must comply with these rules regardless of where the company is based.
The consumer rights act 2022 and your right to cancel
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 (which implements the EU Consumer Rights Directive into Irish law), you have an automatic right to cancel most distance purchases-including online orders from Bo+Tee-within 14 calendar days from the day you receive your goods. This period is called the "cooling-off period" and applies to all consumers without exception. You do not need to provide a reason to exercise this right; you simply notify Bo+Tee that you wish to cancel.
The 14-day period begins on the day the item arrives at your address, not the day you placed the order. Once you notify the company of your cancellation, you have a further 14 days to return the item to them. Bo+Tee must refund you within 14 days of receiving your returned goods, unless they can prove the item was damaged by you. Yafee recommends you keep evidence of your return-tracking numbers, photographs of the unopened package-to protect yourself against disputes.
Extended return windows and store credit options
Beyond the statutory 14-day cooling-off period, Bo+Tee offers extended return windows for UK customers: 21 days for a standard refund or exchange, extended to 30 days if you choose store credit instead. International customers (including those in Ireland ordering from international fulfillment) receive 30 days for a refund or exchange, extended to 45 days for store credit.
Store credit is not the same as a refund. A refund returns cash to your payment method, whereas store credit binds you to spend that money with Bo+Tee only. If Bo+Tee offers you store credit and you prefer a cash refund, you have the right to request a refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2022. Yafee advises you to be explicit in your cancellation request: state clearly that you want a refund, not credit.
Your legal position
You have a non-negotiable right to cancel your order within 14 days of receipt, regardless of fit, colour preference, or change of mind. This right is enshrined in the Consumer Rights Act 2022 and cannot be waived by Bo+Tee's terms and conditions. If the company refuses your refund or attempts to deduct return costs, you can escalate to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), Ireland's statutory consumer protection authority. The CCPC has the power to investigate and enforce compliance.
How to cancel your Bo+Tee order step by step
Cancelling your Bo+Tee order requires you to contact the company directly, as they do not offer a self-service cancellation portal online.
Step one: locate Bo+Tee's customer service contact
- Visit the Bo+Tee website and scroll to the footer or top navigation menu.
- Look for the "Contact Us" section or "Customer Service" link.
- Note the available contact methods: email, online form, or live chat.
- Record the email address, phone number, or web form URL for your records.
- Bo+Tee does not publish a postal address for cancellations, so you will use digital channels only.
Step two: prepare your cancellation request
- Gather your order details before contacting Bo+Tee.
- Order number (from your confirmation email).
- Order date and delivery date.
- Item names and sizes ordered.
- Total amount paid (including any subscription fees).
- Your name and email address linked to the account.
- Draft a clear, written request stating your intention.
- Example: "I wish to cancel my order [number] placed on [date] and received on [date]. I request a full refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2022, 14-day cooling-off period."
- Be specific and factual; do not use vague language like "I changed my mind."
Step three: submit your cancellation via digital channels
- If Bo+Tee offers a contact form on their website, use the online form.
- Select "Order Cancellation" or "Returns" as the reason (if the option exists).
- Paste your cancellation request into the message field.
- Attach a screenshot of your order confirmation email.
- Submit and retain the form submission confirmation or reference number.
- If email is your only option, send your request to the email address provided.
- Use the subject line: "Cancellation request - Order [number]".
- Request a read receipt or delivery confirmation.
- Keep a copy of the email you sent and any response.
- If live chat is available, initiate a chat session with a representative.
- Provide your order number and cancellation request.
- Ask the representative to confirm receipt in writing by email.
- Screenshot the chat conversation for your records.
Step four: await Bo+Tee's instructions for return
- Bo+Tee will respond with return instructions within 2-5 business days.
- They will provide a prepaid return shipping label (typically via email).
- Download and print the label or save it as a PDF on your phone.
- Pack the item securely in its original packaging if possible.
- Include all tags, labels and original components.
- Do not wear or damage the item; unworn items are essential for a full refund.
- Apply the return label to the outside of the package.
- Ensure the barcode is visible and not obscured.
Step five: return the item and track your refund
- Drop the package at a participating Post Office, parcel locker, or courier pickup point.
- Use Royal Mail, An Post, or the courier specified on the label.
- Request and retain a receipt with the tracking number.
- Track the shipment using the tracking number until it reaches Bo+Tee's warehouse.
- You can view tracking status on the courier's website.
- Once delivered, Bo+Tee will inspect the item and process your refund.
- Refunds typically appear in your account within 14 days of Bo+Tee's receipt.
- International returns may take 4-6 weeks.
Step six: verify refund receipt and keep evidence
- Check your bank account or original payment method for the refund credit.
- If you paid by debit card, the refund may appear as a credit to that card within 5-7 working days.
- If you paid via PayPal or another digital wallet, check that account.
- Retain all communications from Bo+Tee, tracking numbers and bank statements.
- These documents prove you followed the correct procedure and are crucial if a dispute arises.
Refund timelines and payment methods
Understanding how and when Bo+Tee processes refunds helps you track your money and manage expectations.
How long refunds take
Bo+Tee has 14 calendar days from the date they receive your returned item to issue a refund. This is a legal requirement under the Consumer Rights Act 2022. However, the time it takes for the refund to appear in your account depends on your payment method and your bank.
If you paid by debit or credit card, expect the credit to appear within 5-10 working days after Bo+Tee processes the refund. If you paid via PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay or another digital wallet, the refund may appear instantly or within 1-3 working days. International returns (to Ireland from EU warehouses) can take 4-6 weeks to reach Bo+Tee's processing centre, which delays the refund clock considerably.
Subscription fees and non-refundable charges
If you purchased an annual unlimited next-day delivery subscription alongside your order, that subscription fee is typically non-refundable once activated. However, you can cancel the subscription to prevent future charges. Contact Bo+Tee's customer service to request cancellation of the subscription service separately from your order refund. Yafee recommends you do this immediately to avoid being charged again.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling can feel stressful, but protecting yourself is simpler than you think. These mistakes cost time and money; staying organised prevents all of them.
Mistake one: waiting too long to initiate cancellation
Your 14-day cooling-off period starts from the day you receive your item, not the day you ordered it. If you wait until day 13 to contact Bo+Tee, you may miss the window entirely. Initiate cancellation immediately if you are unsure about fit or satisfaction. Yafee recommends contacting Bo+Tee within 7 days of delivery to allow time for processing and return.
Mistake two: not keeping proof of your cancellation request
If you call Bo+Tee and speak to a representative, request written confirmation by email. Do not rely on a verbal promise. Screenshots of web forms, email confirmations, and tracking numbers are essential if Bo+Tee disputes your refund later. Store all documents in one folder, organised by date.
Mistake three: returning items without a prepaid label
Bo+Tee provides free return labels. If you pay for return shipping out of your own pocket, you lose that money and cannot reclaim it from Bo+Tee. Always wait for and use their official return label. If they do not provide one within 5 business days, escalate to customer service again.
Mistake four: confusing refund with store credit
If Bo+Tee offers you store credit as your refund option, clarify whether this is mandatory or optional. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022, you have the right to a cash refund. Store credit binds your money to Bo+Tee's platform only. Yafee advises you to reject store credit and insist on a monetary refund unless you genuinely want to purchase more from them.
Mistake five: returning damaged or worn items
Bo+Tee's refund policy (and your legal right under the Consumer Rights Act 2022) requires items to be returned unworn and in original condition. If you have worn the leggings, washed them, or damaged the tags, Bo+Tee can refuse your refund or deduct costs for the "used" condition. Inspect items upon arrival and return them immediately if dissatisfied.
What happens after your refund is processed
Once your refund is complete, there are important steps you should take to close the loop and protect yourself against future charges.
Verify the refund amount
When the refund appears in your account, check that it matches your original order total. The amount should include the item price and any taxes. It may not include shipping (if shipping was not refundable) or the non-refundable subscription fee, but these should have been disclosed upfront. If the refund is short, contact Bo+Tee immediately with evidence of the discrepancy.
Cancel any recurring subscriptions
If you subscribed to Bo+Tee's unlimited delivery service during checkout, confirm that the subscription has been cancelled. Log into your Bo+Tee account (if you created one) and navigate to "Subscriptions" or "Account Settings." Disable auto-renewal or remove the payment method. If you cannot access your account or the subscription persists, email customer service requesting cancellation confirmation in writing.
Unsubscribe from marketing emails
Bo+Tee typically adds your email to their marketing list upon purchase. Click the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any promotional email, or contact customer service to request removal from all mailing lists. This is optional but prevents unwanted follow-up communications.
If Bo+Tee refuses your refund
If Bo+Tee denies your refund or fails to respond within 14 days of receiving your return, you have legal recourse under Irish consumer protection law.
Send a formal notice of breach
- Compose a letter or email titled "Formal Notice of Breach of Consumer Rights Act 2022."
- Cite the specific legal provision: Consumer Rights Act 2022, Section 20 (right to cancel).
- Reference your order number, delivery date and cancellation date.
- State the amount owed and the deadline for payment: 14 days from the date of your notice.
- Attach copies of all supporting evidence: order confirmation, cancellation request, return tracking, delivery proof.
- Send this notice via email to Bo+Tee's customer service address and request a delivery receipt.
- Retain the sent email and any response.
Escalate to the competition and consumer protection commission (CCPC)
- If Bo+Tee does not respond or refuses within 14 days, file a complaint with the CCPC.
- Visit www.ccpc.ie and navigate to "Make a Complaint."
- Provide your name, contact details, order details and a summary of the dispute.
- Attach all evidence: communications with Bo+Tee, order confirmations, return tracking, bank statements.
- The CCPC will investigate and may issue enforcement orders against Bo+Tee.
- The CCPC has authority to impose fines and compel compliance under the Consumer Rights Act 2022.
- This process is free and does not require you to hire a solicitor.
Consider small claims court
If the refund amount is below €2,000, you can file a claim in the District Court (Small Claims Procedure). The process is informal and low-cost. You will need evidence of your cancellation request, return and Bo+Tee's refusal. Yafee advises attempting CCPC escalation first, as it is faster and free.
Comparing cancellation with returns and exchanges
Cancellation, returns and exchanges are related but distinct processes. Understanding the differences helps you choose the right action.
| Action |
Definition |
Timeline |
Outcome |
| Cancellation |
You reject the order within the cooling-off period |
14 days from delivery |
Full refund (cash) |
| Return |
You send the item back after cancellation |
14 days to return after cancelling |
Refund issued 14 days after receipt |
| Exchange |
You request a different size or colour of the same item |
Typically 21-30 days |
Replacement item shipped; no refund |
| Refund (after return period) |
You pursue a refund after 14 days (for defects only) |
Varies; requires proof of fault |
Refund if item is faulty |
If you want a different size or colour, ask Bo+Tee about exchanges before pursuing cancellation. An exchange is faster (no refund processing) and may involve no return shipping. However, if you want cash back, cancellation followed by return is your route.
