Returns & Refunds

If you change your mind

You are, of course, welcome to return items in resalable condition if you have changed your mind: you have the unconditional right to cancel your order within 7 days of delivery. Simply return the goods or let us know of your return request within the 7-day period by e-mail or telephone. In this situation, as standard, we would ask you to meet the shipping costs. We can suggest a courier to you, but we will not usually provide a means of return.

If there is a fault or problem

If something goes wrong, for example, if the items are damaged, have been sent incorrectly or malfunction in any way, we will do our utmost to remedy this situation. This may involve giving you a refund or sending a replacement free of charge. Usually, we go with whatever you prefer.

We will no usually ask for you to return faulty items to us, but we may ask you to send photo evidence (which enables us to feed back to the courier or manufacturer). Some items, for example the Zogoflex range, can be recycled. Others, for example, the BecoPets range, can be buried to biodegrade.

Sometimes we may be required by a supplier to return goods to them, in a recall situation for example. In that case, we would refund you the cost of postage.
