While we are always happy to replace damaged or defective goods please note that (like most places) we don’t exchange goods because you’ve changed you mind. If there are any problem, we will always try to replace the goods with equivalent items, however from time to time stock issues may prohibit this, if this is the case we will provide a refund of your purchase price or alternative item instead.

This refund policy does not apply to goods which have been worn, used or damaged after delivery, or if any attempt has been made to alter the product or if they have been dropped, kicked, eaten by a much-loved pet etc – basically all products must be returned in their original condition.
