I received a faulty item
Firstly, we sincerely apologise!
If your goods arrive damaged or faulty this must be reported within 48 hours of receipt.
We will also require proof of this, a photograph taken on a smart phone is sufficient. Unfortunately if 30 days have passed since receipt of your item, we cannot offer you a replacement or refund.
For faulty or damaged items received, we have two options to provide a solution;
'Return and Replace/Refund option'; We can provide a Royal Mail postage label to you free of charge to return the faulty item(s) to us and we’ll send you brand new replacement(s) or full refund, whichever you prefer. The returned item must be in an unused state and the same condition you received it in.
If you believe you can still use the damaged item(s), we also have the 'Economical Keep' option; instead of returning faulty/damaged goods to us, we offer a percentage of your order total to be refunded and you keep damaged item(s) instead. This helps reduce waste and our carbon footprint. The total percentage will be determined on the level of fault/damage.
The option of'Return and Replace/Refund'or'Economical Keep'is solely the buyers choice.
Can I exchange an item?

Are returns free?
