This Returns & Refunds Policy applies to all purchases made through our online store for delivery within the United Kingdom. It is designed to comply with the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015, as well as Google Merchant Center requirements for UK merchants .
We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If you are not happy with your order, this policy explains your rights and the process for returning items.
1. Your Right to Cancel (Cooling-Off Period)
Under UK distance selling regulations, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days from the day you (or a nominated third party) receive the goods, without giving any reason .
-
Notification:Â You must inform us of your decision to cancel by a clear statement (e.g., a letter sent by post or email) before the 14-day period expires.
-
Return Deadline: After notifying us, you have a further 14 days to return the goods to us .
-
Refund Timeline: We will process your refund within 14 days of receiving the returned goods or receiving evidence that you have returned them, whichever is earlier.
Important: If you cancel under the cooling-off period (i.e., change of mind), you are responsible for the direct cost of returning the goods to us, unless we have agreed otherwise or the goods are faulty .
2. Returns for Faulty or Misdescribed Goods
If your item is faulty, damaged, or not as described, you have statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
-
Short-Term Right to Reject (30 Days): If the goods are faulty, you have the right to reject them within 30 days of delivery and receive a full refund .
-
After 30 Days: If a fault is discovered after 30 days but within 6 months of delivery, you are entitled to a repair or replacement. If a repair or replacement is impossible or disproportionate, you may be entitled to a full or partial refund .
-
Return Postage:Â If the item is confirmed faulty or misdescribed, we will refund the standard return postage costs. Please contact us before returning faulty items so we can arrange the most appropriate method.
3. Items Excluded from Return
Certain items are exempt from the 14-day cooling-off right for hygiene, safety, or customization reasons. These include:
-
Personalized or Customized Goods:Â Items made to your specifications or clearly personalized (e.g., engraved products)Â .
-
Perishable Goods:Â Items that can deteriorate quickly (e.g., food or fresh flowers).
-
Sealed Goods Unsealed After Delivery:Â Hygiene-sealed products (e.g., cosmetics, personal care items) if the seal has been broken after delivery.
-
Newspapers, Periodicals, or Magazines:Â Excluding subscription contracts for their supply.
These items can only be returned if they are faulty or misdescribed.
4. Condition of Returned Items
To ensure a full refund, please handle the goods with reasonable care. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the goods. Items should be returned in their original packaging where possible, with all tags and labels attached.
