Cancelling or Returning an Order
If you change your mind, you have 14 days from the day you receive your order to tell us that you would like to cancel or return it.

Return Condition
To be eligible for a return, items should be:
- Unused
- In their original condition
- In the original packaging where possible
- Returned with any included parts, accessories, or instructions
We may not be able to accept returns for items that have been used, damaged by the customer, or returned incomplete.
Return Postage
Unless the item is faulty, damaged, or incorrect, the customer is responsible for the cost of return postage.
We recommend using a tracked postage service, as we cannot guarantee receipt of returned items sent without tracking.

If your item arrives damaged, faulty, or incorrect, please contact us as soon as possible at:
[your email here]
Please include:
- Your order number
- A photo of the item

Once reviewed, we will help arrange a suitable solution, which may include a replacement, refund, or other appropriate remedy.
Refunds
Once we receive and inspect your returned item, we will let you know whether your refund has been approved.
If approved, your refund will be issued to your original payment method.
Please allow time for your bank, card provider, or payment service to process the refund.
Order Cancellations
If you need to cancel an order, please contact us as soon as possible.
If your order has not yet been processed or dispatched, we will do our best to cancel it. If your order has already been processed or shipped, you may need to wait for the item to arrive and then request a return.
Items Arriving Separately
If you ordered multiple items, they may arrive in separate parcels. This does not affect your return rights.
Please contact us if you need help with a specific item from your order.
Exceptions
Some items may not be eligible for return unless faulty, such as:
- Personalised or custom-made items
- Perishable goods
- Items that cannot be returned for hygiene reasons once opened or used
Any specific exceptions will be made clear where relevant.
