Please note we do not accept returns or refunds on bespoke products.

REFUNDS

You are entitled for a full refund, minus any shipping charges for sale items purchased, see above, once we receive the item back in our stock. It is worth checking with customer service when you get the goods back in stock, to ensure your refund is processed promptly.

If the return sum differs slightly, we are not able to refund the additional bank charges charged by the local banks for international bank transactions, or for international currency movements, this is beyond our control.

Customs duties and sales taxes paid by the customer in the event of a return are non-refundable. However, you may be able to recover these by contacting your local customs bureau directly. As this may not be available for all countries, we recommend that you hire a customs broker if you wish to claim back duties on returned merchandise.
