If you are in the UK, we will provide a pre-paid label to enable you to return the item(s) to us without charge. Please pack the item(s) to be returned carefully, attach the label, take the package to your Post Office and obtain a proof of posting..
WE CANNOT REFUND POSTAGE COSTS IF ITEMS ARE RETURNED WITHOUT THIS AUTHORITY.
For customers outside the UK, the cost of return postage will be refunded provided you have contacted us first, and have followed our instructions for the return.
If we ask you to return incorrect items, please ensure they are well packed, as damaged returns will not be accepted.
Returns for Ordering Errors or Cancellations Should you wish to return an item due to an ordering error or a change of mind, kindly contact us to obtain a return authorization prior to sending the goods back. We will gladly process a refund or exchange on the condition that the items are returned unused and in their original state. The customer is responsible for all return shipping costs.
Please note that bespoke, custom, or personalized merchandise—including made-to-order regalia—is exempt from this policy and cannot be returned or refunded unless deemed faulty or incorrectly fulfilled by us.
Postage
Normal Service
Stock items are normally dispatched within a few days of receipt of the order via Royal Mail or a Contract Parcel Service. However, following the mailing of a catalogue, and also in the pre-Christmas period, handling of orders can take a little longer than usual. You will probably receive your order 3 to 5 days after despatch. We will advise you if any items are out of stock.
Courier Delivery (Non-priority dispatch)
Expected: Standard Dispatch, usually delivered within 1 working day of dispatch.
Express Dispatch & Delivery (Priority)
Expected: Same-Day Dispatch (2pm cut-off), usually arrives within 1 working day.
To Non-UK Addresses
Normal Service - Surface Post
Stock items are normally despatched within a few days of receipt of the order via a postal Consolidator. However, following the launch of a new book, and also in the pre-Christmas period, handling of orders can take a little longer than usual. Deliveries by Surface Mail can take anything from 2-3 weeks to Europe to 12-16 weeks to Australia, New Zealand, the Far East and South America. For orders beyond Europe we send an advice by Air Mail confirming charges to your credit or debit card, and the despatch of the order.
Air mail
For a faster delivery, items can be sent by Air Mail, which normally gives a delivery time of 10-14 days, but this is subject to delays at Customs and local delivery services - we therefore ask you to allow up to 28 days for delivery.
International Courier Delivery
Expected: Standard Dispatch, usually delivered within 7 working days of dispatch.
