Returns

How do I return an item?

Faulty or defective items: If you return an item because of an error on our part, or it is defective, we will happily refund your costs in returning it to us. You are responsible for any other service provided to you in connection with your purchase, e.g. wrapping. The item(s) must be returned within 30 days of purchase.
