replace goods that are defective on delivery providing we are
notified within 7 days of actual delivery or attempted delivery.
You should contact us first by email or phone to arrange the
return of a product. Please remember:
Any goods you wish to return must be in their original packaging,
unused and undamaged. If you return the goods you should insure
them against car-ri er damage. You are responsible for the
safe keeping of goods until they are received by us or collected
by our agents.
Every care has been taken to ensure that the description and
specification are correct at the time of going to press. However,
while the colour/position of design reproduction is as close
a representation as possible, some variation in the actual goods
may occur.

card in your letter-box. The courier will try and redeliver
the goods the following working day. If you miss the second

to be sent back to you again.
