Damaged or Broken Items
Very rarely, an item may be damaged on route to you, we will only accept claims for damage within 7 days of receipt. In the instance of all deliveries made by Royal Mail it will be assumed that it takes no more than 5 working days for a packet / parcel to arrive, we will therefore allow 12 days from the date of despatch for claims to be made. In the case of Courier deliveries, we will count 7 days from the date that the order is delivered. No claims will be accepted outside these times. You must keep all broken items and original packaging for possible return to us. Please complete a contact us form to inform us of a problem. Do NOT return any item to us before contacting us, unsolicited returns will not be refunded.
IMPORTANT - READ THIS : In the unlikely event of an item arriving broken, please DO NOT dispose of it - we will NOT replace any item for which we cannot be either supplied a photograph, or have returned to us at our expense if required.
As we offer the easy replacement option by supplying a photograph, we do not refund any return postage costs unless we explicitly request an item to be returned, and agree in advance to refund postage.
