Non-Fault Returns Policy

At Hartsmede, we recognize that there are occasions when customers change of heart regarding their purchase. While we strive to accommodate such requests, it is essential to acknowledge that frequent returns can impact the pricing structure of our products. There are various associated costs, including delivery charges, packaging expenses, handling, and dispatching fees, as well as restocking and inventory management costs, all of which are incurred in processing returns.

 

Our non-fault returns policy is meticulously crafted to strike a balance between these costs while ensuring continued value for our esteemed customers. To provide clarity on the terms and conditions of this policy, we outline the following:

 

  1. Cost Deductions: In the event of a non-faulty return or change of mind, we will deduct the following costs from your refund:

    • Outbound and inbound cost of carriage, presently set at £7.99 for each leg of the journey.

    • Any applicable delivery charges paid by the customer.

  2. Customer-Initiated Returns: Should you opt to return the goods at your own expense, please ensure the item is dispatched using a tracked method of delivery to mitigate potential loss during transit.

  3. Restocking Fee: A restocking fee, currently set at £9.99, will be applied to cover the costs associated with processing the return.

  4. Refund Process: The deducted amounts outlined above will be subtracted from your refunds, with the refund process commencing upon our receipt of the returned item.

  5. Refund Recipient: It is imperative to note that refunds will exclusively be issued to the original purchaser and will be credited using the same payment method employed for the purchase. We do not retain financial information on customers for one-off purchases unless explicitly stated otherwise in our communications.

Your understanding is greatly appreciated, and we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to continue serving your needs with our commitment to deliver high-quality products and services.
