Store returns

El Corte Inglés return period by country

El Corte Inglés sets its own return period, which can be longer than the law requires. These are the periods we found in each country, next to the legal minimum that applies there anyway.

The store's return period is a voluntary promise. If the item is faulty, the legal guarantee still applies after the return period has ended.
