Cancel Asos: Easy Method
What is Asos
Overview
ASOS is an online fashion and cosmetics retailer based in the UK that sells internationally, including deliveries to Nigeria. It operates a web store and mobile apps but manages orders centrally from its UK operations.
How this guide helps
This guide explains cancellation and refund options relevant to Nigerian customers, summarising ASOS policies, practical steps, consumer-rights considerations and common customer experiences.
How to cancel Asos
Immediate steps after placing an order
- ASOS does not allow order cancellations via your online account once the order is placed.
- If you need to cancel before shipment, contact ASOS customer service in writing as soon as possible; success is not guaranteed.
- App-store purchases follow the same standard rules; there is no separate in-app cancellation process.
How to exercise statutory cancellation (after delivery)
- Under UK Consumer Contracts Regulations, you have a right to cancel within 14 calendar days after receiving the goods by notifying ASOS in writing.
- To cancel in writing, use ASOS’s help/contact options and keep a copy of your cancellation message for proof.
- Follow with a return shipment according to ASOS returns instructions; keep proof of postage.
What happens when you cancel
Order processing and access
If cancellation is accepted before dispatch, ASOS will stop fulfilment where possible. However, most orders are processed quickly and cannot be stopped via your account.
If goods have been dispatched or received, you must return them to complete cancellation under the 14-day right.
Renewals, accounts and data
Cancelling an order does not close your ASOS account or remove stored data. To close an account, follow ASOS account closure procedures in their Help pages.
ASOS will retain order records and communications for business and legal purposes; request data deletion through account settings or support where applicable.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund policy
Under UK law you may cancel within 14 days and be refunded, including standard delivery cost if you return the entire order.
ASOS typically processes refunds within 14 days of receiving the returned items and refunds are made to the original payment method.
Exceptions and timing
- ASOS’s internal returns policy: full refunds if items returned within 28 days of delivery; returns between 29 and 45 days may receive an ASOS gift voucher instead of a cash refund.
- Partial returns may not include refund of delivery charges. Customs, duties or non-refundable taxes may not be returned - check your payment and shipping statements.
- If ASOS delays or fails to refund, consider chargeback via your bank or escalate to consumer protection (see "Your consumer rights in Nigeria").

Notes on pricing

Taxes, duties and local handling fees may apply on import and are not included in the shipping price.
Your consumer rights in Nigeria
Statutory protections
Nigerian consumer law protects buyers against defective goods, misrepresentation and failures in service delivery. Remedies are available through local consumer bodies.
Because ASOS is a UK-based seller, jurisdiction can be complex; Nigerian agencies may have limited cross-border enforcement power.
Practical advice for Nigerian consumers
- Document all communications with ASOS and keep proof of postage for returns.
- If ASOS fails to refund in stated timeframes, request a chargeback via your card issuer or payment provider.
- Escalate unresolved disputes to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) and keep records of correspondence.
Customer experiences
Positive reports
Some customers report quick deliveries and straightforward returns in certain cases, praising efficient order fulfilment and refunds when processes run smoothly.
Positive reviews tend to highlight instances of seamless returns and timely refunds.
Negative reports
- Many customers report poor customer service, delayed or missing refunds and difficulty contacting support.
- Feedback includes shipping delays, wrong items, chat support issues and concerns over restrictive returns enforcement.
Documentation checklist
Before cancelling
- Order confirmation email and order number.
- Screenshots or copies of cancellation requests sent to ASOS.
When returning items
- Proof of postage and tracking number.
- Photos of the item condition and original packaging (if applicable).
- Copy of any correspondence with ASOS about the return or refund.
Common mistakes
Assuming you can cancel via the account
Many customers try to cancel from their ASOS account after placing an order, but ASOS typically does not allow account-based cancellations once the order is placed.
Attempting this wastes time; instead contact ASOS support immediately in writing and prepare to return the goods if cancellation fails.
Not keeping return proof
Failing to keep proof of postage or correspondence is a frequent error that weakens refund claims.
Always keep receipts, tracking and screenshots until the refund is fully processed.
