If you have placed an order but then wish to change or cancel it, please contact us as soon as you can, as orders move rapidly through our system. We will try our best to make any changes but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so as the order may already have been processed. In such cases, you may have to wait until you receive the order and then follow the normal Returns procedures. We operate No Quibbles Returns policy.

Contract Cancellation

You can cancel this contract if you so wish, provided that you exercise your right to do so within fourteen working days after the day on which you receive the products.

If you wish to cancel your order, please follow the procedure set out in our Returns procedure.

Returns & Exchanges Procedure

We operate a no-nonsense returns policy and if you return a full priced item within 14 days of receipt, we'll give you back the amount you paid for the item or offer an exchange.

Once we've received a return and the goods are in the same condition that they were when delivered to you, the sum debited to your account will be re-credited within 14 days of the date the return is received. If it is past the 14 day period, the product is un-returnable.

You will be liable for any charges incurred when returning the goods to Sandersons unless the return is as a result of an error on our side or faulty.

You will be liable for delivery costs if you purchased an item under "free delivery" and then later return the item, unless the item is faulty or the return is due to an error on our side.

We're sorry but we are not able to offer exchanges, all returned items will be refunded, for you then to be able to reorder in your preferred size or colour!

We cannot offer a refund on any beauty or makeup products.

You are responsible for the return postage and package costs unless an item is faulty or was received in error. We suggest that you return the item(s) using a shipping method that will provide you with a tracking number and request a signature upon delivery. We will not be able to refund/replace items should they fail to reach us.
