Overview
Return and Exchange Policy
We are committed to ensuring your complete satisfaction with every purchase. Our Return and Exchange Policy is designed to be straightforward, flexible, and customer-focused, offering you peace of mind when shopping with us. This policy outlines the eligibility criteria, conditions, timelines, and processes for returning or exchanging items, ensuring clarity and convenience.
Eligibility for Returns and Exchanges
- Account Holders: Customers with registered accounts can initiate returns or exchanges directly through their Order History on our website or app.
- Guest Shoppers: Guests who have placed orders without an account can return items in ‘Collected’ or ‘Delivered’ status by contacting our Customer Support team or visiting one of our branches.
Conditions for Returns and Exchanges
To be eligible for a return or exchange, items must meet the following conditions:
- Non-Faulty or Change of Mind Returns: Items must be in their original, resellable condition, unused, unopened (where applicable), and in their original packaging with all tags, accessories, and documentation intact.
- Faulty or Damaged Products: If an item is faulty, defective, or damaged upon receipt, it may be returned or collected for a refund or replacement, subject to inspection. For branded items under manufacturer warranty, claims should be directed to the manufacturer as outlined below.
Return Window
We offer a generous 30-day return window for non-faulty or change of mind returns, starting from the date of delivery or collection. Faulty or damaged items may be returned outside this period, subject to the conditions outlined below or under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Proof of Purchase
A valid proof of purchase (e.g., order confirmation email, receipt, or invoice) is required for all refunds, exchanges, or credits. Without proof of purchase, we may be unable to process your request, though our Customer Support team will do their best to assist you.
Products Not Eligible for Return or Exchange
The following items are not eligible for return or exchange unless faulty or damaged:
- Bespoke or made-to-measure goods tailored to your specifications.
- Unsealed chemical or gas products, due to safety and regulatory requirements.
- Non-faulty unsealed electronic goods, including those with broken seals on spare parts (e.g., PCBs, fans).
- Non-faulty used gas valves.
- Goods that deteriorate rapidly once opened (e.g., perishable items).
- Non-faulty used hygiene products, for health and safety reasons.
For faulty items in these categories, please refer to the manufacturer’s warranty process or contact our Customer Support team for assistance.
Manufacturer’s Warranty for Branded Items
For branded items covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, any claims for faults or defects should be directed to the manufacturer. Please refer to the warranty documentation provided with your product for contact details and claim procedures. Our Customer Support team can assist with guidance if needed.
