4.8 If you require a change to the delivery address once the goods have been dispatched, we reserve the right to pass on any extra charges made by our carriers for redirecting or rearranging your delivery.

6.1 If there is a problem with the goods, please notify us by email or in writing providing details of the problem within three working days of delivery.

We will deal with the matter in accordance with your legal rights.

Replacement goods will not be dispatched until the original goods have been received at our warehouse and checked.

If the goods are not faulty, we will return them to you, however you will be required to cover our reasonable postage costs.

 

8. Substitutions
