We hope you won’t need to return an item to us, but if your order is damaged or incorrect, or the part you have ordered is not what you expected, let us know and we will refund your money or replace the item. (You must notify us within 28 working days of delivery. We may ask you to return it to us unused in the original packaging, and in the condition in which you received it).

We can’t replace items or offer refunds where items are returned after 28 days, or on damaged items not notified to us within 1 week.

If you change your mind or have purchased an inappropriate product for whatever reason, return the unused item(s) in appropriate packaging accompanied with the receipt / invoice within 28 days of delivery to you, and we will be pleased to offer you an exchange or refund.
