Refund and Returns Policy – ONLINE. See Shop return policy further down the page.

 

Returns

 

You MUST notify us within 7 days of receiving your item if you wish to return it. You then have 14 days to post the item back to us. Certain products may be exempt from returns including gift cards and certain jewellery items, such as earrings. If you do not inform us that you are returning your items, no refund will be given.

 

Only regular priced items may be refunded, unfortunately sale items, casualty corner items, and items marked as ‘DISCOUNT’ or ‘SALE’ cannot be refunded. Live sale items from social media are exempt from refunds, these are sold as seen.

 

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.

 

To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase to be enclosed with all returns. So long as proof is given that you made the purchase from us, refunds are given.

 

Due to card processors and Paypal not refunding transaction fees, where an item is returned to us, or an order cancelled due to change of mind, there will be a restocking fee of 4% of the total transaction cost held back from the refunded amount to cover the non-returnable fees that cannot be recovered. This will be waived if an error on our part has caused the cancellation, or a defective item has been sent to you.

 

All damages must be reported within 48 hours of receiving your goods to obtain a duplicate item or a refund. Items will only be credited provided any damages occurred prior to delivery, or if it is clear that there is a manufacturing fault. Items considered to have been mistreated or damaged through wear and tear cannot be credited or refunded. Items that are considered to have natural flaws are not considered as damaged.

 

Refunds

 

Once your return is received it will be inspected for damage to be approved for refund. If approved, your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment.
