To return an item, place the unused item(s) in their original packaging and purchase a Royal Mail return label by clicking the below:

Return Period:

  • Full-price items: Returns accepted within 14 days of receipt.
  • Sale items: Returns must be made within 14 days to qualify for a refund.
  • Christmas Returns: Extended 14-day return period for full price purchases made during the holiday season. Clearance items are exempt.
  • Samples & Seconds: Non-returnable unless faulty beyond described defects.

Return Conditions:

  • Items must be returned unused, in original condition, with all original packaging, including dust bags (if applicable).
  • The safe return of items is the customer’s responsibility - we are unable to refund for missing items or those damaged in transit.
  • Returns Fee:
    • Small parcels: £3.95 (deducted from refund)
    • Medium parcels (over 2kg): £5 (deducted from refund)
  • International returns: Customers must cover the return shipping cost. We cannot generate return labels for overseas orders. A tracked service is required for all international returns.
  • Sadly we are unable to refund the original customer shipping cost.

Faulty or Incorrect Items:

  • If your item is faulty or incorrect, please notify us within 7 days of receipt.
  • The faulty item must then be returned within 14 days of contacting us to qualify for a refund, repair, or exchange.
  • If the issue is reported after 14 days but within the legal 30-day period, we can only offer a repair or replacement rather than a refund.

Refunds:

  • Once we receive your return, we will confirm receipt and notify you if your refund has been approved.
  • Approved refunds will be processed to your original payment method. Please allow 2-6 working days for your bank to process the transaction.

Exceptions:

  • Sale Items: Refundable within 14 days of receipt.
  • Samples & Seconds: Non-refundable unless faulty beyond described defects.
  • Bundle Discounts:
    • If a full-price item is returned but the promotional (discounted) items are kept, the refund amount will be adjusted accordingly.
  • Free Gifts: Any free gifts received as part of a promotion must be returned with the order to qualify for a full refund.

Exchanges

  • Exchanges are only available for faulty or defective items.
  • If you wish to exchange an item for a different one, please follow the standard returns process and place a new order separately.
  • Faulty or defective items will be replaced (or a similar item sent if out of stock). We may provide a pre-paid return label in these cases.
