There are occasionally items that do not work as intended or get damaged in transit. In the event of this happening with an item you have received, please email our Customer Service team by clicking HERE and give a full detailed description of the problem, as well as your Order Number.

Depending on the problem our customer service team will determine how best to resolve your problem with the minimum inconvenience to you. If it is found that the item, you received is faulty then we will exchange it at no cost to you.

If you have received an item that is damaged, please contact us and advise us of the nature and extent of the damage. Please also advise us of your name, contact number and order number.

You must notify us within 7 calendar days from the date of your product being dispatched from our warehouse of any damage or faults. After this time your product’s normal warranty applies.

Proof of purchase will be required; the return shipping will be at your cost.

Once we have received your returned item or the refund has been approved according to your issue (defects only), we will then send you either notification of receipt of your item and/or an email issuing you a credit refund. The type of refund will be based on previous discussions, as to the type of problem. You will either receive a refund into your nominated bank account or a Credit in the form of a Coupon, which you can then use on a future purchase. If you have not received your refund, after your approval notification, within 2 working days, please contact us and we will promptly investigate why it has not been issued and rectify it.
