Aftersales & Returns

Cancellation Rights

In accordance with existing UK Distance Selling Regulations and the SafeBuy Web Trader Code you have the right to cancel your order within 14 working days, commencing from the day after the day you receive the goods. However, you must ensure that the goods remain unused and are retained in their original packaging. You must then return them within 14 days from the date you expressed your wish to cancel, to our contact address at your own cost and risk. We will refund the price you paid for such goods within 30 days of the date of cancellation provided that the goods are returned by you and received by us in the condition they were in when delivered to you. If GMD arranges collections the cost to the buyer would be £30. This amount will be deducted from any refundable amount.
