Refunds/returns Policy
Refunds:
Should you for any reason wish to cancel your purchase you will be liable for a 20% (of total order) handling fee. You must advise us in writing of your cancellation and any such cancellation must be signed by the person who made the original purchase. The goods must be returned to us undamaged in the original packaging within 14 calendar days.
NOTE: It should be well noted that our products are handmade and as such there will be a certain degree of irregularity with the designs and colours which gives them their handcrafted appeal.
WE do not offer REFUNDS on parcels that have been returned to us due to customers’ absence, package refusal or address error.
Return shipments:
For local customers we recommend that you use a traceable courier company like Aramex for all returns as it offers shipment tracking through a 24-hour customer helpline. Should you choose to use a courier that does not offer a tracking facility and the goods are lost, then no refund or return will be considered.
International customers should make use of a courier that offers:
- Shipment tracking.
- Insure your package for safe return and declare the full value of the shipment failing which loss or damage will be for your account.
