Returns

Returns
Our policy lasts 30 days. If 30 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange.

If an incorrect delivery address was provided on the order, and as a result the courier company charges us a fee to recover said order, we reserve the right to offset said charge against your refund.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.

If the product or packaging is damaged or missing, a restocking fee may apply or the return may not be accepted. Shipping fees and perishables are non-refundable. If the original order qualified for free shipping and the product is returned, the actual cost of the original outbound shipping may be deducted from any refund. If a return shipping fee is payable on orders that are unclaimed or refused at point of delivery, we reserve the right to deduct this amount from the total to be refunded.

Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. Perishable goods such as bird seed and suet cannot be returned.

To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase.

Please do not send your purchase back to the manufacturer.

There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted: (if applicable)
Book with obvious signs of use
CD, DVD, VHS tape, software, video game, cassette tape, or vinyl record that has been opened.
Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error.
Any item that is returned more than 30 days after delivery

Refunds (if applicable)
Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.
If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within a certain amount of days. Please note that only the product value will be refunded. We do not refund any shipping or delivery charges. If the original order qualified for free shipping and the product is returned, the actual cost of the original outbound shipping may be deducted from any refund.

Late or missing refunds (if applicable)
If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again.
Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted.
Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted.

Gifts
