If an item is required for return, we will charge you the cost of collection of which you will be notified at the time of cancellation.  In addition, any delivery charges are also non-refundable unless the goods are faulty or the cancellation has been made in accordance with your legal rights.  You must take reasonable care of the goods whilst in your possession to be returned to us.

If the product does not fit into your home, it will be classed as a cancelled order and costs will be incurred by you.

No refunds or exchanges on “sale stock” unless the goods are faulty.
