About House of Fraser

House of Fraser is a department store chain within Frasers Group, now trading in many places under the Frasers fascia, and a House of Fraser discount code is spent across a catalogue made up largely of other people's brands. That is the structural fact worth knowing about department store shopping: much of what you buy is sold by a concession operating inside the store, and that affects returns, stock and who answers when something goes wrong.

Concessions and why returns differ

A concession is a brand renting space and staff inside the store. Buy from one and your contract can sit with that brand rather than the store, which is why some items must go back to the brand rather than to a till. The receipt and the returns leaflet say which applies. Online, the same split shows up as separate parcels from separate warehouses for a single order.

Brand availability moves

Department store brand lists change as concession agreements start and end, so a label you bought last season may simply not be there now. If you are shopping for a specific brand rather than a category, check the brand page before travelling to a store, and check whether the item is available for delivery or only for collection.

Beauty: what cannot be returned

Cosmetics and fragrance opened or with a broken seal are generally excluded from ordinary returns on hygiene grounds, whatever the general returns window says. Sampling in store, or buying a small size first, is the practical way round it. Gift sets are sold as a unit and cannot be broken up.

Sale, clearance and the shorter window

Reduced items often carry a shorter returns period than full price stock, and final clearance lines are sometimes non-returnable altogether. The rule is printed on the receipt rather than announced at the till, so read it before the sale rather than after.

Using a House of Fraser discount code

Enter the code in the basket and confirm the total changes before paying. Expect wide exclusions: concession brands frequently opt out, premium beauty and designer labels usually do, and items already reduced normally do. One code applies per order, and online codes are not automatically honoured in store.
