Returns

As a general rule we do not accept change of mind returns due to the bulkiness of our goods and expense we incur in offering economical delivery along with the challenges in storing these products. However, returns may be made within 14 days for a refund.

To be eligible for a return, you must have a receipt for proof of purchase and your item must

• be unused and
• in the same condition that you received it and
• be in the original packaging.

If 15 days have passed since your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund.

If you use the supplied 'return post' shipping label, a refund will be processed minus the return shipping fee, the original shipping fee and a restocking fee of 15%.

If you arrange your own return post, a refund will be processed minus the original shipping fee and a restocking fee of 15%.

Exchanges

Unfortunately we do not offer exchanges. 

Cancellations
You may cancel an order before it is dispatched to you. After it is dispatched, however, we are unable to stop the delivery.  You will need to accept delivery and decide whether to return the item.  If you return the item a refund will be processed minus shipping fees and a restocking fee of 15%.
