How refunds are processed

We will refund you any delivery costs you have paid calculating them on the basis of the least expensive delivery method that is generally acceptable.

For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option (this is within Distance Selling Regulations guidance).

We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within 14 days after the day on which we receive the product back from you.

If you have returned the products because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the products in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.
