6. Faulty or Damaged Items

Upon confirmation of the fault, we will offer you:
-
A full refund, or
-
A replacement item, or

A repair (where appropriate)
For claims made after 30 days, your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 still apply. We may require an inspection or manufacturer’s assessment.
Return postage costs for faulty or incorrect items will be reimbursed upon approval.
7. Who Pays for Return Shipping?
You are responsible for the cost of returning items unless:
-
The item is faulty, damaged, or not what you ordered; in which case, we will reimburse reasonable return postage costs once your claim is approved.

We recommend using tracked postal services as we are not liable for items lost in transit.
8. Refund Processing
Once your return is received and inspected:
-
We will notify you by email of the outcome (approved or rejected).
-
Approved refunds will be issued to your original payment method within 14 business days.
-
If the goods are returned in a condition that reduces their value beyond normal inspection, we reserve the right to deduct an appropriate amount from your refund.
9. Restocking and Handling Fees
We reserve the right to deduct a reasonable restocking fee from your refund if returned goods show signs of use or damage beyond necessary inspection.
10. Fraud & Return Abuse
We monitor returns for patterns of abuse including:
-
Repeated false claims of faulty or non-delivery
-
Excessive returns or suspicious usage
-
Use of products prior to return
-
Tampering with packaging or product contents
In such cases, we may request identity verification, refuse refunds, or take legal action.
11. Exchanges
We do not offer direct exchanges. Please return the unwanted item (if eligible) and place a new order for your desired product separately.
12. Dispute Resolution
If you are dissatisfied with how your return or refund has been handled, you may:

Contact us to resolve the issue amicably.
