If the item is defective, damaged, or incorrect, please contact us within 14 days of receiving it. We will arrange a replacement, repair, or refund in accordance with applicable consumer protection laws.
For items purchased in-store, we do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer preferences. However, If an exception is approved, fees apply. Details can be found on within our returns & refunds policy.
Order Changes & Cancellation
If your order hasn’t shipped yet, please contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to cancel or modify it.
If your order has already been delivered and you are a consumer residing within the European Union, you may exercise your statutory right of withdrawal within 14 days of receiving your order. Please note that engraved, personalized, or custom-made products cannot be cancelled, returned, or refunded unless defective or otherwise required by law.
If you wish to cancel a pre-order, please contact our support team as soon as possible before shipment. If we are unable to deliver within the stated period, you will receive a full refund.
Once delivered, the statutory EU 14-day right of withdrawal applies where permitted by law, except for engraved, personalized, or custom-made products.

• We'll explain the design and functionality differences clearly
• You can receive images of alternative options before deciding
