Faulty Goods You should notify us as soon as possible using the Contact Us page as to the nature of the problem. We will try to rectify the situation immediately, subject to stock availability, although in some cases we may require you to return the incorrect item initially at your expense. We will of course refund you any return carriage or postal charges upon receipt of the items. Returns should be made by the cheapest method available, and proof of posting obtained. For faulty charm bracelets, all charms must be returned. Do not send items back by Special Delivery as we will not be responsible for refunding this additional cost to you.
Upon return of items found to be faulty, we can offer the following service:
i) To send you an identical replacement within one to two weeks of receipt of the faulty goods to us. ii) To offer a full refund for the price of the item paid by you, provided the goods are not found to have been physically damaged by you in some way.
Cancellation and refunds (non-faulty goods) You have the right to cancel any order (apart from custom-made bracelets and gift vouchers) for any reason up to 7 working days after the day on which you received the goods.
You must return the items to us at your own expense in an unused and undamaged condition together with such documentation necessary to enable us to identify you as the purchaser of the items within 30 days of the notice of cancellation.
Until the items are received by us at our premises, you are responsible for any loss or damage to such items.
You should obtain proof of posting of such items, in the event that the items are not received by us at our premises.
Once we have received the items, we will refund the purchase price (less any original carriage charges) immediately, or in any case within 30 days. Items returned without the required documentation, or after 30 days of the notice of cancellation, will be treated as abandoned to us, and will be dealt with accordingly.
In accordance with the Distance Selling Regulations, (the following applies to all mail order and E-Commerce contracts):
We accept the responsibility of incorrectly dispatched goods, (i.e. goods not matching the specification displayed on the accompanying invoice) if notified to, and agreed by, us within 7 working days of receipt of those goods. We agree to pay the return postage and dispatch charges of the correct goods. We do not accept any consequential loss to the customer during this period and offer no compensation for such.
Unless otherwise agreed, we shall take the decision in the event of a shortfall of goods, to decide whether to send out goods separately and at no extra charge to the customer, or to hold onto the goods until the complete order is available to send.
We cannot accept any returned goods found to fall into one or more of the following categories: i) the goods are in some way physically damaged by the buyer. ii) the goods are found not to have been sold to the customer by us.
