## Event summary

### **What does customer experience look like for UK fashion after checkout?**

Join parcelLab on 7 October at 19:00 at The Hoxton, Shoreditch, for the launch of UK Fashion UNBOXED: a retailer-only evening of peer-to-peer conversation and honest exchange on what works best in the post-purchase world.

📅 Date: Wednesday, 7 October 2026
⏰ Time: 19:00
🏠 Venue: The Hoxton, Shoreditch, London

We placed real test orders with 150 UK fashion retailers to explore how the journey feels for customers across checkout, delivery, returns and refunds. Nike, adidas, Zara, H&M, Selfridges, ASOS, Gymshark, Uniqlo, Burberry, JD Sports and PrettyLittleThing feature among the brands compared, giving an industry-level view of what’s working well and who’s falling behind.

### **Agenda**

- **19:00 – 19:15 | Arrival & Welcome Drinks**
    Kick off the evening with a glass of Ruinart Champagne and a warm welcome to the room.
- **19:15 – 19:20 | Welcome Address**
    A short introduction to set the scene for the evening ahead.
- **19:20 – 20:30 | Panel Discussion**
    [Miya Knight](https://www.linkedin.com/in/miyaknights/), Director and Publisher at Retail Technology Magazine, hosts a conversation with [Asher Fingerhut](https://www.linkedin.com/in/asherfingerhut/), Research Lead, and [Angus Knights](https://www.linkedin.com/in/asherfingerhut/), Post-Purchase Visionary and Product Expert, on what 150 test orders reveal about the post-purchase experience.
- **From 20:30 | Drinks & Dinner**
    Stay on for retailer-only networking over drinks and dinner, with plenty of time to keep the conversation going.

### **What you’ll learn**

Fashion customers expect more than a delivery update. They want clear delivery promises, useful communication and an easy, transparent returns process. Join us to find out:

- Where the returns journey breaks down, and why customers so often end up bouncing between retailer, carrier and third-party return experiences
- What “normal” really looks like for refund timelines, and how to close the gap between a few days and over two weeks
- How to keep customers informed once a return has landed, at exactly the point most brands go quiet
- Where delivery communications are missing chances to reassure customers and build brand connection, and what to do instead

You’ll leave with a clearer picture of how to build one connected journey from delivery through to refund completion, plus first access to insights from 150 real fashion customer journeys before anyone else sees them.
