From time to time, we also run special promotions, when normally-priced goods are offered at special low prices for a defined period.

We recommend using Recorded Delivery when returning products. Your statutory rights will not be affected. If we are in error we will refund the delivery charges.
When returning one or more products for a refund, you should note that if you have paid for all or part of that order with reward points these will be returned to your account first. The same applies to any credit used towards the purchase.
If returning products bought under the "3 For 2" or "2 For 1" offers, you will only be credited if the remainder of your order still fulfils the offer's rules. For example, say you purchased 4 items that were on "3 For 2" offer, and returned 1 of them, you would be credited for 1 item, but if you were to return 2 items, you would still only be credited for 1 item as you would have to pay normal price for the remaining 2 items in your order!
