All returns must be notified to us within 7 days of delivery of the product.
In the event of a customer purchasing an item from us mistakenly and through no fault of ours, we will be pleased to replace or refund the item, provided that the original item is returned to us unused and in saleable condition.
In cases where the customer is either unable or unwilling to arrange return carriage after purchasing a product, we reserve the right to charge an uplift fee to cover the cost of employing a courier company to collect the item from the customer.
This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
