*Exclusions: - Personalised items and Custom Made Orders are excluded as they have been made to your specific requirements and therefore cannot be returned as part of our normal return policy. Foam filled products are also exempt from the returns policy if the foam has been removed from the vacuum packaging, this is due to the foam then not being able to be returned back in a re-saleable condition once it has been removed from the protective vacuum packaging and due to hygiene reasons. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Exchanging Your Order
If having received your order, you would like to exchange all or part of it, below will explain how to do so.
You have 14 days from receipt of the order to get your order back to us, to the address on the contact us page.
It is up to you, the customer to pay any returns postage in getting your order back to us. If you would like to exchange the product for a different fabric or colour or even if you would like to exchange to a completely different product then to keep the returns postage costs down we are happy to accept just the cover back and for you to keep the bead to make the returning parcel smaller. If this is not an option and you wish to send back the full order for exchange then please be aware that this can be quite costly and we are unable to arrange collection of the order.
Once you know what you would like to exchange your order for, this is how it can be done:-
* You can return the order (part or full) that you wish to exchange first and then once we have this back we can call you to place a new order. Please write on the delivery note (which you receive within your parcel when it is delivered) the details of what you are sending back (if only returning part) and write down the details of what you want to exchange to; including any sizes, colour and fabric variations and include this in your returning parcel.
Ensure your order is well packaged as any damage caused in transit will not be accepted and we advise that your order is returned via recorded delivery as we cannot be held liable if it is lost in transit. ENSURE YOU KEEP YOUR RECEIPT AND TRACKING NUMBER FOR YOUR RETURN.
If you are owed a refund, you will receive an email confirming your new order and an additional email up to 7 days later confirming your refund has been processed.
Your order will then be processed using the delivery method shown on your confirmation email.
