RETURNS POLICY

We guarantee a full refund of the purchase price if, for any reason whatsoever, you are not 100% satisfied with your online purchase. This is our Satisfaction Guarantee.

To buy it before you see it 'in the flesh', especially for first time internet buyers, or for those who have experienced a less than satisfactory service from other sellers, requires a leap of faith that many people will quite naturally be unwilling to make. To buy with confidence you need to know that if when your item arrives, you are not 100% happy with it, for whatever reason, you will be refunded.

Our Satisfaction Guarantee Return Policy is as follows:

  • To initiate a return, simply notify us by email within 14 days of receiving the merchandise if you are not 100% satisfied. Once we have received your notification, we will email you back with further instructions. (We also offer and extended notification period during the festive gift shopping season - see separate FAQ on Extended Festive Season Satisfaction Guarantee and Return Policy for more details.)
  • Returned item must be received by us in the condition it was sent.
  • If the reason for return is something we did wrong, including damage in transit, you will receive a full refund. We will also cover the return shipping back to us, using our own chosen carrier. Please keep original packaging for the return shipment.
  • If the reason for return is not something we did wrong, we ask that you arrange and pay for the shipping to us. In some cases, your refund may have our initial shipping costs deducted from the refund amount.
  • Returns are to our office in Essex, UK. Please feel free to ask us for a return shipping cost estimate.
  • We recommend that you keep the original packing materials we have used, until you are sure you will not be returning the piece to us.
