Returns Process:
There are two options available for our customers who would like to return a product –
1. Exchange
If a product is unsatisfactory, we can offer to exchange it for another one (i.e. a different size or colour etc, if available) or another product of the same value. Generally proof of purchase is required in order to get an exchange, although we may waive this requirement if we believe we have sold the product. Please note, as mentioned above, products returned or exchanged must be unused and in a resalable condition with packaging intact and all labels etc returned with the item.
2. Money Back Guarantee
If a customer has proof that they purchased the goods from our website within the last 12-months, they may obtain a refund. A refund will be made in the same tender as the original purchase. As mentioned above, that product returned must be unused and in resaleable condition unless faulty or otherwise deficient.
