We regret to inform all of our lovely customers from Northern Ireland and the EU that due to the new GPSR legislation coming into affect on December 13th we can sadly no longer deliver to you.

We hope there will be a change in the rules in the not to distant future.

Please note the International Tracked service is always at least £5.00 more expensive than the Standard service but will also cover you for loss and damage. These charges only include delivery; therefore customers will be responsible for import duties and local taxes.

You may also be charged a processing fee relating to the handling of custom clearance and this is not included in your payment to us, but you are responsible for paying this in order to receive your order. We recommend that you familiarise yourself with your local laws in regards to these fees.

You then have a further 14 days from the date you notify us of your cancellation to return the goods. Your refund will be paid within 14 days.

When contacting us please quote your full name and address and the order number supplied to you. You are responsible for the cost and risk of loss or damage when returning the goods, so you should take out enough postal insurance to cover their value. We do not refund postage charges incurred in returning your item unless you are returning the item because we sent you an item incorrectly or it is faulty. This cancellation policy does not affect your rights when we are at fault - for example if goods are faulty or misdescribed. If the item is faulty please provide images of the fault when emailing us. Faults and/or damage should be reported within 7 days of receiving the order.
PLEASE MAKE SURE you check your item thoroughly before writing in it. If a fault is detected after an item has been written in we cannot accept the item back.
If your item is not faulty it must be returned 'as new' with all product packaging intact for a full refund. We are unable to accept items for return once they have been opened or used.
If your order is returned to us because you have given incorrect address information or if the parcel has been refused upon delivery you will have to pay a re-delivery fee/returns fee.

Preparing an item for return
To return an item please ensure it is returned 'as new' with all product packaging intact for a full refund. We are unable to accept items for return once they have been used or are missing the manufacturer's packaging. The item must be packaged securely and in the same type of packaging in which it arrived. If an item is damaged on its return journey to us due to poor packaging we will not be able to refund the order. Please do not package items in bubble lined envelopes, unfortunately, this type of packaging does not protect items from getting crushed or bent on their return journey.
Please pack a copy of your original invoice details, please write your name, full address, and email address clearly on a separate piece of paper. Include this with your return so that we can trace your original order. Please pay the postage costs and request proof of postage from your chosen delivery service. Items are your responsibility until received by us so we recommend you use a recorded delivery service and package the item well.
