Returns After Delivery/Collection for online orders only
Changing your mind
Other than in the case of the excluded items listed below, you are entitled to change your mind and cancel your order for any reason within 14 calendar days after delivery or collection for an exchange or full refund.
Excluded items
Your right to return an item does not apply to certain items unless these items are faulty on delivery or collection or mis-described.
These items are :
- perishable items and
- items which cannot be resold for health and hygiene reasons once unwrapped (e.g. eye drops and solutions, personal grooming items, and medicines).
Storing items
You must take reasonable care of the items whilst they are in your possession and immediately stop using any item(s) which you have decided to return. When you return an item(s) please make sure that the item(s) is undamaged, in a sellable condition, and with all of its components including the original packaging. If you do not exercise reasonable care and the item(s) you are returning is damaged whilst in your possession, in transit, we reserve the right to reduce the amount of credit we give to you on refund. We therefore recommend that if you are returning the item(s) by post you use a service which insures you for the value of the item(s) you are returning.

Online Orders - Refunds
Payment card
All refunds will be made by crediting the card you paid with.
Processing time
We will make any refunds within 14 days of receiving the Item(s) back or, following a returned item being deemed lost in transit by the relevant courier or postal service, within 14 days of the date that you supplied us with satisfactory proof that you have returned the Item(s) to us (for example, proof of posting certificate). The refund will be shown in your available balance once cleared in your account.
Costs incurred in returning Item(s)
We will not be responsible for your costs in returning Item(s) unless they are damaged in transit, faulty, or otherwise permitted by these terms.
Exchange Rates
Any refunds paid to you will be in Pounds Sterling and will match the amount you paid in Pounds Sterling for the Item(s) and delivery (if the delivery charge is refundable). If an exchange rate is applicable to your order the amount you receive in your local currency will depend on the exchange rate applied by your credit or debit card provider when it receives our refund payment and may therefore be different from the price paid for the Item(s) in your local currency. We will not be liable for any losses caused to you as a result of any currency fluctuations or exchange rates applied by your credit or debit card provider.
