Courier Deliveries are carried out from 2 to 28 working days and depends on the item. The delivery time is clearly stated on each product page, next to the product. The delivery time could be longer due to special circumstances or for imported or customised products. You will be contacted to arrange delivery between the hours of 8am – 5pm Monday to Friday, however if an arranged delivery is attempted and there is nobody to provide a signature, it will be taken back to the depot and re-delivered on another day but will incur a re-delivery charge which is to be paid direct to the carrier to enable re-delivery of the goods. For ease it is preferred that you provide a mobile phone number. For international deliveries please contact us after placing the order.

Cancellation Rights, Returns and Refunds
As a non-business customer under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 you have a right to cancel your purchase for non-customised goods. However, to exercise this right you must notify us in writing, (email or letter) within 14 working days from the day after you receive your goods. Business customers do not have this right and all orders are deemed final.
No right of cancellation exists for personalised goods or custom-made items, unless defective.
As stated above notification of cancellation must be in writing, a telephone call is not a valid cancellation.
No right of cancellation, refund or return exists under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 once you have used your product, unless the product is defective and you are returning it for this reason.
Returns & Exchanges- peace of mind guaranteed
Our return policy does not apply to sale items or bespoke/made-to-order items. “Made to order” or “bespoke” items will usually be described as such on the website. In addition, anything where you specify, for example a colour or size that is not described on the website is considered “made to order”. Unfortunately, “made to order” or “bespoke” items cannot be cancelled or returned.
As per the Consumer Contracts Regulations (excluding business customers) If you’re not happy with anything you’ve bought, simply email us within 14 days of receiving the item, and after having received a returns form send the item back to us for a refund. Items must be returned back to us within 28 days of receipt of order
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. Please note that most of our products are very fragile and need to be packed very well before sending back, even if you have unopened packaging please ensure it is well packed, even it if means using extra protective packaging.
It is your responsibility to arrange and pay for the return of goods that have been correctly supplied and are not faulty. We recommend that they are sent via an insured and signed-for service, for which we can provide cost estimates. Return delivery cost can often be more than you paid to have the item delivered, as our delivery charges are subsidised. We are not responsible if goods are returned damaged in original packaging, on receipt of damaged goods, we will inform you immediately and supply you with all images and documents so you can raise a claim with the couriers.
Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within 7 days. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted. If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us
Faulty Products or Damaged Products

If goods are delivered by carrier by signing the delivery document you are accepting that there are no discrepancies or damaged goods. You must check the consignment thoroughly before signing. If goods are signed for without comment then it is important to note that the Company will accept no claims for damaged or missing goods from that consignment as we are unable to claim insurance ourselves.
