Please write on your invoice the reason for the return:
- Returned for refund
- Returned faulty
Please note failure to include your invoice and include your RMA will slow down the processing of your return. We do not cover the cost of return shipping if you have decided you do not like the product or there are slight colour differences to our website due to wood being a natural product. If free delivery has been offered and the order is rejected or sent back due to no longer wanting the product or ordering the incorrect item then a refund will be made on the product minus the delivery cost.
Faulty Goods & Guarantee
