Very occasionally, we may need to refuse, cancel or amend an order (even if we have previously confirmed your order). This can happen if we notice something unusual or something has gone awry. If there are any issues with your order we’ll try to get in touch with you right away.

Information and Prices

We work hard to give you the right information but sometimes we may make an error, for example, when we price or describe a product or promotion or when we’re updating how much of an item we have in stock. If we discover an error with something you’ve ordered, we’ll contact you to let you know and talk you through what options might be available.  

We try to capture the look and feel of our products in the photographs we share on our site but different computer monitors can display colours very differently. Please take any colours that you see on your screen as a general guide only.

We may change our products, prices, promotions, or discontinue items at any time without notifying our customers. So, if you love something you’ve bought from us, please let us know, and we’ll do our best to keep it in stock.

Depending on the value of your order you may be charged for delivery costs. Such additional charges will be clearly shown during the checkout process and included in the ‘Total Cost’ of your order.

Delivery

We hope you’ll never have to return an item to us but we understand that sometimes things don’t go to plan. You can find our terms and processes outlined in our Returns Policy.

We may give you promotional codes that you can use to reduce the price of specified products or access cool offers and discounts. You’ll need to enter your code at checkout to redeem.
