Return Guidelines:
This scheme is only an option.
All returns are at the buyers cost and risk, The RM scheme above is only a suggestion, if it does not suit your requirments due to weight or insurance value, you are free to choose your own method of return at your own cost.
Any postage added/upgraded on the original order, e.g. First Class/Express/courier or ANY Overseas postage will not be refunded as this is deemed a separate contract under DSR. Distance selling regulations apply to UK customers only. Only basic economy or free postage (which ever is lowest) will be refunded plus the full purchase price of the goods. No postage costs will not be refunded if you are buying multiple items and not all of the goods have been returned.
Things that cannot be returned
Some things cannot be returned due to hygiene and packaging reasons. Ski socks that are packed in a way that makes them un-saleable if the packaging is broken open cannot be returned. Any items that have been customised too cannot be returned.
