3. Returns Instructions

  • We hope that you will be happy with your purchase.
  • Should you wish to return or exchange an item, please follow the instructions below.

3.1 Non-faulty Items

Please let us know if you wish to return an item within 28 days of receipt by requesting authorization either by email or phone. No refund or exchange can be given for unauthorized returns. Returns must include the invoice number and postcode.

Please note that your right to return an item does not apply to certain items unless the item has a manufacturing fault (see section 3.2 below).

Such items include:

  • Perishable items.
  • Items that cannot be resold for health and hygiene reasons once unwrapped (for example, body jewelry and personal grooming products).

You are required to take reasonable care of items. Please return an item in its original and undamaged packaging with all of its components. If an item is returned undamaged in its original and undamaged packaging, we will offer you a refund in accordance with our refund policy in section 2 above.

Furthermore, if you do not return the item as instructed within 28 days of cancellation, we may make a charge in respect of the cost of recovering (or attempting to recover) the item.

Moreover, if you do not return an item after our reasonable attempts to recover it, you will be deemed to have accepted the item, at which point a new purchase contract will be made, and you will be charged for your order at the price then set out on our website. This does not affect your statutory rights.

For some products, we may have different returns policies. For a full list of such products and further details on how to return them, please see Returns or call 01234 348179.
