the substitutions on the doorstep so if you let our driver know s/he will take
the products away at that time.
Returns Policy
9.1 Your right to return an item does not apply to certain products
unless these goods are faulty on delivery or misdescribed. Such items include:
- Newspapers
and magazines;
- CDs,
DVDs, videos and computer software, which may be restricted to an exchange
for the same title to reduce the risk of unlicensed copying;
- perishable
items;
- items
which cannot be resold for health and hygiene reasons once unwrapped (for
example body jewelry, mattresses, bedding, certain items of clothing,
personal grooming products, medicines, and certain baby products, etc.);
and/or
- flat-packed
furniture that has been partially or fully assembled; and items which have
been installed using our installation service.
You are required to take reasonable care of items. Please return an item
in its original and undamaged packaging with all of its components. If an item
is returned undamaged in its original and undamaged packaging, we will offer
you a refund in accordance with our returns policy. Your rights under consumer
legislation for these goods are not affected.

have already debited your card, we will reimburse any sum received from you in
respect of such goods by crediting the card you paid with.
9.3 Non-food items can be returned within fifteen (15) days not
including Sundays and/or Public and/or National Holidays. Delivery cost is
spread over all the shopping not just one item so such cost will not be
considered/refunded. If you buy only one item and you incurred a delivery
charge in respect of such one item, and such item is returned back to us, we
will refund the cost of delivery as well.
9.4 We will replace the damaged items by identical items in good condition
or will otherwise grant a refund depending on the customer’s preference.
9.5 If the client wishes to return any item purchased for whatever
reason, he/she may do so by returning the goods at our store with the
respective receipt. From there onwards the shop return policy will come into
effect, that is either by exchanging items, offset from the bill or else the
customer is granted a credit note.
