  • Before any refund is given we will inspect the returned goods to ensure that you have taken good care of them, including repacking them carefully before return. Taking due care can include, for example, not using the goods, or damaging their retail packaging beyond what is required to establish their nature, characteristic and function, as might be reasonably allowed in a High St shop. Where we consider that due care has not been taken, then we reserve the right to make a deduction for diminished value from any refund due.
  • Please note that refunds will not include any premium delivery charges incurred when your order was first sent to you or any costs of return incurred by you.
  • Any returns that include heavy parasol bases will need to be palletised. Please call if you would like a specific quote before you order. If we arrange collection, we will quote you on the costs before proceeding. The costs of collection will be treated as your costs of return and will be deducted from the price you first paid when calculating your refund. Normal delivery terms (see above) apply to goods sent out in exchange.
  • The right to cancel within 14 calendar days does NOT apply to orders delivered outside the EU or to trade orders (orders invoiced to businesses rather than the general public) or goods made to the customer’s specification.
