Returning unwanted goods
7 days to cancel purchase for non-faulty goods

In the EU, you have the right to cancel your on-line purchase within seven working days.

This seven-day “cooling off” period begins on the day when you receive your purchase.

You can choose to cancel your order for any reason within this time frame – even if you simply changed your mind.

We will give you a refund within 30 days. This refund must include any shipping charges you paid when you made your purchase.

Although you have a right of refund, you will have to pay the postage costs of shipping goods bought on-line back to us.
