General Refund Policy

The following information applies to ONLINE / distance sales only.

( Please note: A different policy applies to goods purchased in person at our St. Ives Store )

ONLINE SALES (NOT MADE IN PERSON AT THE STORE)

We refund up to 28 days from purchase, providing the product is in exactly the original condition, unused, unworn, in a saleable condition and as it was when sent to you, with all tags in place.

*Please note that we take photographic evidence of all goods as we pack each parcel and these can be referred to as we deal with returns. 

We do not offer a free returns service for items that are not required unless you are returning an item due to a product fault .

RETURN OF FAULTY GOODS. APPLIES TO BOTH ONLINE AND SHOP PURCHASES

In the case of faulty goods for both online purchases and shop purchases, any return costs (at standard 2nd class postage rate) incurred to you will be refunded in addition to the original purchase price. Should you NOT wish to return by 2nd class postage and wish to use another system, you will need to contact us before posting. We do not make financial compensation for postage methods which exceed the Royal Mail standard charge, unless it has been specifically confirmed for you and instructed in writing.

When using Royal mail 2nd class postage, please keep your postage receipt until we confirm safe arrival of the goods. Should you be returning a smaller value item, you do not need to cover the cost of extra compensation for goods. if in doubt please refer to us by email for further instructions.

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MISTAKES THAT HAVE HAPPENED WHEN WASHING OR DRYING YOUR GARMENTS – wool products must be treated with care. In cases where harm has come to the product due to what we consider is faulty washing/drying, an independent expert opinion in woollen products can be sought if there is no agreement between parties.

Refund of Original Postage: If you are requiring a refund for goods that are unsuitable for you, we refund the standard costs of postage (2nd class) but If you upgraded by your own choice to a more expensive form of delivery, please note that we will only be refunding the 2nd class standard postage fee.

A NOTE ABOUT LOUNGING SLIPPERS These slippers are intended and sold as per the description – for lounging/light indoor use on carpeted or smooth tiled flooring only. Excessive use, for instance – wearing the slippers constantly as main house slippers, will naturally limit the life of the non slip sole. Used as intended for lounging around – as a more substantial version of a slipper sock, these slippers should give plenty of wear. If slippers are returned to us showing substantial excessive wear within a short period, we regret we will not be able to refund or replace.

This does not affect your rights if there is a fault originally in the product which is identified after purchase, when of course, we should be informed immediately.

Online returns policy regarding minimum order qualifications on original purchase

Please note in the case of ‘discount codes’ or ‘free posting minimum qualification’ for an order the following applies:

If the cost of postage on your original order was given because the goods purchased amounted to beyond the level required, (purchases of £80 and over) and therefore, due to the amount spent we gave a minimum discount of £3.50 for our usual postage costs and some of the goods are subsequently returned as unwanted, with no fault, the purchase price may now have fallen below the free postage level (of £80 minimum purchase) . In cases therefore where goods are returned and discount for postage was given and no now longer qualifies, the postage for the original order will be deducted from any refund as the postage discount has been provided by us in good faith for an order of over £80 in value, which no longer qualifies for this offer (Unless goods are faulty in which case we bear the cost).

Refunds will be issued directly through PayPal or the card used for the original transaction.

We do our best to return funds as soon as possible: whilst refunds will leave our account immediately, they can take 5 business days to show through your card handling processor.
