In this case, we will refund the price of the goods in full, including the cost of sending the item to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.

  • for any other reason, we will refund the value of the goods supplied or exchange the goods in question, provided that they are returned to us in their original, undamaged packaging within 14 days of delivery. If we find that the goods have not been returned to us in fully resellable condition, we reserve the right to refuse a refund on the item, or deduct up to 20% of the original selling price from the refund amount. If goods qualify for a full refund, we will also refund the standard delivery charge. We will repay any such refunds within 14 days from receipt of the returned goods without any further charge to you except the direct cost of returning the goods.
