Return & Refunds Policy

Returns Policy 

We offer a 30-day returns guarantee on most items... we’re nice like that! 

When returning anything, our process is that you need a returns number. Contact a member of our sales team and they will provide this and confirm the delivery address to return the goods to. 

Make sure the item (and any additional items that came with the original product) is: 

  • unused (with any labelling still attached) 
  • in original packaging 
  • in a resaleable condition 

 Depending on the item, there may be a carriage charge and goods may be subject to a restocking fee. 

 Your statutory rights to return goods are protected under the EU Distance Selling Directive, which can be viewed in full at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2000/2334/contents/made.

For a refund your goods must be returned within a 30-day period from purchase. All goods are covered by a manufacturers min 1-year warranty,  covering manufacturing faults.

The Process is as follows

    • Contact us, where we will provide you with a returns number, so we are expecting the goods back.  Please put this number on a note inside the packaging.
    • Please clarify the reason for the return examples include:
  1. You decide you don’t want the product, it can be returned within 30 days complete with original packaging and in as new condition. You may be charged a re-stockage fee if it was delivered free of charge; item has been specially made for you; item was subject to extra charges from the manufacturer. Return postage will be at your expense.
  2. You find the item is faulty. We offer a  min 12 month warranty on all items we sell, some items have an extra manufacturers warranty. When returned we examine the item, and when the fault is confirmed we will refund the item and any return postage costs. Any replacement required before we have examined the faulty item would have to be paid for before dispatch, and refunded later.
  3. Item was damaged in transit. Please let us know ASAP, any claims with our carriers have to be done very quickly, if you don’t examine your goods within 24 hours of receipt, we cannot make a claim with the carrier.  Please take some photos of the damage, and relevant damaged packaging, and send us the photo evidence.  Do not dispose of anything as the carrier may want to make a separate examination. Replacements / carriage costs  will be refunded.
  4. Incorrect item received. The Item received is not what was ordered. Best to take a photo and send it to us. We will make sure the correct item is replaced as soon as possible. We will pay for any transport costs involved
