Refund policy
This Returns and Refunds Policy applies to all business customers purchasing goods through our wholesale store. By placing an order with us, you agree to the terms outlined below.
1. Eligibility
This policy applies exclusively to business-to-business (B2B) transactions. By purchasing from us, you confirm that you are acting as a business (e.g., a company, partnership, or sole trader purchasing for business use).
2. No Automatic Right to Return
Under UK law, B2B transactions are not subject to the same cancellation rights afforded to consumers. Therefore, we do not offer refunds or accept returns simply due to a change of mind or over-ordering.
3. Returns for Faulty or Damaged Goods
We accept returns only in the case of goods that are:
Damaged in transit
Incorrectly supplied
Faulty due to a manufacturing defect
To initiate a return, you must:
Notify us in writing (email or through your wholesale account) within 3 business days of receiving the goods.
Provide photographic evidence of the issue (e.g., damaged packaging or defective items).
Return the goods in unused condition and in original packaging unless agreed otherwise.
Once we confirm the issue, we will, at our discretion:
Offer a replacement, credit note, or refund (excluding original shipping costs unless the error was ours).
4. Non-Returnable Items
The following items are non-returnable unless proven to be faulty:
Perishable or custom-made products
Items sold as clearance or marked “non-returnable”
Goods altered or damaged by the customer
5. Return Process
If your return is approved:
We will provide written confirmation and return instructions.
You must send the goods back within 7 working days of receiving our confirmation.
Returned goods must include a reference to your original order number.
Any returns sent without our prior approval may be refused.
6. Risk and Responsibility
Until goods are returned and received by us, you remain responsible for the risk and cost of return shipping. We recommend using a tracked service.
7. Refunds
Approved refunds will be processed within 14 business days of receipt and inspection of returned items.
8. Discrepancies and Shortages
You must notify us of any delivery discrepancies (shortages, overages, or incorrect items) within 3 business days of receiving the goods. Failure to do so may result in claims being rejected.
9. Governing Law
This policy and any disputes arising from it are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
