One user said: "@boohoo @boohoo_cshelp since when do you charge for returns???"
Another said: "Well, that settles it. No more shopping from @boohoo now they've started charging £1.99 for refunds."
And another added: "@boohoo_cshelp Hi, please can you tell me why you now charge for Isle of Man residents to return?? Just had to pay 9.19 for three dresses? Then apparently you then take £1.99 from refund!!"
It comes after Zara shoppers started being charged £1.95 to send back items, with the fee deducted from their refund.
