Returns & Refunds
At Basket Connection, your satisfaction is our priority. If an item isn't right for you, we offer a simple, clear return process that complies with French and European law.
⚖️Legal framework – Your rights as a consumer
📋 Legal right of withdrawal (14 days): Under Article L221-18 of the French Consumer Code, which transposes EU Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights, you have a legal period of 14 days from receipt of your order to exercise your right of withdrawal, without giving any reason and without paying any penalty.
✅ We go further than the law: Basket Connection gives you 30 days to return your item — more than twice the legal minimum — so you can take your time to decide.
📋 Legal guarantee of conformity: Under Articles L217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code (transposing Directive 2019/771/EU), every product sold is covered by a legal guarantee of conformity for 2 years from delivery. If a product does not conform, you may request its repair, replacement or a refund.
📋Mandatory conditions for a return to be accepted
For your return to be accepted, the item must meet all of the following conditions. Any item that does not meet these criteria will be refused and sent back to you at your expense.
Tags intact
All original tags must be present and attached to the product, not cut off or removed.
Item not worn
The item must be clean and unused, with no odour and no signs of wear, dirt or sweat.
Original packaging
The item must be returned in its original packaging, in perfect condition.
Shoebox protected
For shoes, the original box must be placed inside an additional protective shipping carton. The shoebox itself must not be used as the shipping box.
🚫 Non-returnable items: Shoes that have been worn for training, warm-up or any sporting activity cannot be returned. Any item showing signs of use will be refused and sent back to the sender at their expense. This restriction complies with Article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code, which excludes from the right of withdrawal goods that have been unsealed or used after delivery.

🎁Prefer store credit?
If you prefer, we can give you store credit valid for 1 year in our shop, as a discount code. It's a handy option if you want to order a different size or another model.
💡 To ask for store credit instead of a refund, just say so in your email to service@basket-connection.fr when you request your return.
❓Frequently asked questions
