How is the 30 days return period calculated - am I outside of this period?

The calculation of the 30 days includes all days (working or otherwise) from Monday to Sunday. The 30 days begins to run depending upon when you receive your goods.

Where goods are delivered in one delivery, the end of the 30 days period is 30 days after the day on which the goods came into your physical possession.

Where you have ordered multiple goods in one order but the goods are delivered on different days, the end of the 30 days period is 30 days after the day on which the last good came into your physical possession.

Where you have ordered goods consisting of multiple parts delivered on different days, the end of the 30 days is 30 days after the day on which the last of the pieces came into your physical possession.

Where you are receiving a regular delivery of goods during a defined period of more than one day, the period ends 30 days after the day on which the first of the goods came into your possession.

You must inform us of your wish to cancel within this period. If you declare that you would like to cancel your order outside of this 30 days period, you will be not be able to return your goods unless faulty.

Please pack your item(s) securely and include a note within the package with your name, contact details, order number (e.g CS123456) and the reason for returning the goods, along with the returns authorisation number. Usually the packaging that you received the item in can be used to package your return, however sometimes this may not be suitable. Please use adequate packaging to protect the product.

If returning due to buyer remorse, you are responsible for the product until it arrives back with us. We therefore recommend that you send the item back to us using a tracked service with adequate insurance or cover for loss and/or damage to the product. 

If returning due to a defective product, where the product is incorrectly sent, damaged by the carrier or defective in another way, you are responsible for the package until it is handed to the carrier on its return journey.
