FAQs
Product Information
- Do you have a size chart?
-
Yes and you can see it here or by clicking on the size chart tab when viewing a product.
- I've found the product I want but can't select my size
-
This usually means we are out of stock in that size. We do re-stock some of our lines however so it may be worth dropping an email to our Customer Service team, quoting the product code and we'll let you know if the item will be available again.
It's worth noting that products which have been reduced in Sale are very unlikely to be restocked.
Alternatively, you could send an email to Stock Inquiries and they'll let you know if any of your local scotts stores have stock available.
- I cannot find the product I'm looking for. Does this mean you don't stock the item?
-
Possibly, or it may mean we're temporarily out of stock. Send our Customer Service team an email with as much information about the product as possible and we'll let you know we stock the item and if it will be available again.
- I've seen a product online. Will my local scotts have it too?
-
They may. Send an email to Stock Inquiries with the product number, your size and location and our team will check your nearest scotts stores.
If you prefer, you can use our Store Finder to get the phone number and locations of your local scotts stores and and ask them yourself.
