TOP TIP
When returning goods, please ensure you receive adequate insurance to cover the value of the goods that you are returning, and that the courier asks for a signature on delivery. This will allow you to track the returned goods, and claim compensation should your chosen courier lose them.
Important Points
Only the purchaser of the items can return or exchange items. If your items are lost in the post during their return, you must claim the value of the goods and postal charges back from your chosen courier. We will not consider any refund or exchange unless we have received the returned items. Any refund will only be made to the purchaser’s credit card or PayPal account.
