Bearhouse Beads Cancellation/Return/Exchange Policy

Where should I send the return to?

Your package will be sent with a return address label on it, but here is the address again:

Tina Smith, Bearhouse Beads, Whitegate, Bentlass Road, Hundleton, Pembroke SA71 5RJ

Do I have to pay the cost of the delivery for returns?

Yes, I’m afraid you are responsible for this cost.

All returns must be in an unworn, unmarked, as new condition and complete with any original tags in place. If the items show any wear, beyond what may be result of handling the item to check it is what you have ordered, a deduction will be made from your refund.

I recommend that you use weatherproof wrapping and sufficient protective packing materials to prevent damage to the item in transit. Should any damage occur to package during its return, you will be responsible for any loss in value.

I also recommend getting proof of postage. This doesn’t have to be a tracked/signed for service unless you want that security or it is required by Royal Mail based on the insurance value of your order. Please do get a Certificate of Postage at the very minimum, as it could affect the timely processing of your refund.

Please note, I cannot be held responsible for lost or damaged returned goods that have not been correctly insured.

Will I be refunded for everything I have paid?

If your returned order has not been damaged due to insufficient packing during return, and does not show any signs of wear, you will receive a full refund for the cost of the item and the outgoing standard postage.

If you chose a shipping upgrade when you ordered, this upgrade will not be refunded as it is not standard postage.

When will I receive my refund?

Depending which happens first, I will issue your refund within 14 days of either receiving your return package, or, you providing evidence that the order has been returned (e.g. proof of postage or a tracking number).

What happens if the item I have ordered is faulty?

I spend a lot of time sourcing the best quality materials for my designs and ensuring the quality of the products I make. However, should I have missed something, you have a right to return faulty goods. You can this up to six months after receipt of the goods.

Depending on the circumstances, you may be entitled to a refund (full or partial), a repair or replacement.

You will be required to send photos of the item to allow me to assess which option is most appropriate.

What happens if my order doesn’t arrive?

If your order is lost in transit, I have to assume that the contract for your order is terminated. In these circumstances, I will provide either a replacement item, or if this not possible, a refund.

However, I am bound by the conditions of Royal Mail’s policy regarding lost packages. Royal Mail do not consider a package lost until the below timescales have passed:

UK 1st Class Signed For: 10 working days after due date

UK Royal Mail Special Delivery: 5 working days after due delivery date/time

For information about potential shipping times for international orders, please see my Shipping Policy relating to delivery timescales.

Undeliverable Orders

If your order is returned to me because it is undeliverable due to an inaccurate shipping address provided by yourself, or if you don’t claim your package from the sorting centre, I cannot be held responsible.

Under these circumstances, you will be responsible for the cost of re-shipping the package.

Should your order be returned to me undelivered and you do not wish to have the package re-shipped, I will cancel the order. I will also cancel the order if your parcel is returned to me undelivered and you do not respond to notification of this within 3 working days.

In both these instances, a refund will be issued for the value of the items ordered only. If you chose a shipping upgrade when you ordered, this upgrade will not be refunded as it is not standard postage.
