Return and Exchange Policy
ORDER PROCESSING
Once an order has been placed, you will receive an automatic order confirmation email. We aim to have your orders processed and dispatched within two business days. If for any reason your items are unavailable, out of stock; or, if there is more than a two business day delay in the dispatch of your order, we will be in contact with you. We aim to have accurate inventory on hand; however, at times items may have already sold in-store faster than our website updated the item to be out of stock. In the event that new stock is expected to arrive longer than you are happy to wait, or is not expected at all (no longer carried items, discontinued, etc.) you will be offered an alternative product, online store credit or a refund by method of payment.
