Damaged, Faulty or Incorrect Items

Please let us know as soon as possible if your order arrives damaged, faulty, incomplete, or incorrect. Keep the item and packaging while we assess the issue.

Where appropriate, we’ll arrange a repair, replacement, or refund in line with your applicable consumer rights. We’ll cover reasonable return costs for confirmed faulty or incorrect items.

Change-of-Mind Returns

Please contact us within 14 days of delivery to request a change-of-mind return of a standard, non-personalised item.

We do not accept change-of-mind returns for items made to your specifications, including personalised text, custom dimensions, or bespoke designs.

This does not affect your rights if the item is faulty, damaged, incorrect, or materially different from the agreed specifications.
