§ 6. Returns / Refund Policy
1. Under the Consumers Rights Act of 2015 we do not accept returns if:
· damage to the goods has been caused by the customer
· changing their minds or misread dimensions.
· defects brought to their attention before the sale or where the consumer inspected the goods before sale and the defect was obvious
· faults arising from fair wear and tear
We are happy to offer our customers a refund or exchange on all items if it doesn't meet the above standards. You also accept that the items are vintage and therefore they might have some wear and tear. Items that had previously been viewed in person are not liable for return/refund. As part of our returns policy we must be informed, in written form (for example by letter, fax or e-mail), within 48 hours from the date of delivery. After this 48 hour period, we are not liable to accept the return if you report that the item is faulty.
We are only liable up to the point of initial delivery.
We want you to acknowledge that by return of the products, we retain twenty percent of the products’ value, as we bear the storage, packing, work hours to prepare the item and resale expenses (restocking charges). Customized products and items bought in person in our shop unless the goods in question are proven faulty/unfit for purpose cannot be subject to return.
All items for a price over two thousand British Pound Sterling are considered “special order”. We only make refunds for the returned special order products if your products have been resold (we put these products in the “All Products” category, for reduced or original prices).
Return postal, shipping or courier charges are incurred at the customers own expense. All initial shipping costs, including packing and insurance are non-refundable.
