RETURNS AND EXCHANGES

Cancellation Rights & Returns UK

In the United Kingdom, you have a legal right to cancel your order after you have received and inspected the goods, up to 14 days after receipt.

Please note that no statutory cancellation rights apply to goods that have been ordered specifically by a customer.

Please note that you are under a legal duty to take care of the product, and this includes all packaging and labelling. Care must be taken to ensure that the goods remain in the best possible condition.

Please take particular care with items which are easily damaged. If you need guidance on the best way to try any item without damaging it, please contact us. When trying goods it should be reasonably apparent before fully trying the goods whether they are likely to fit or not and you should not dirty or dent the goods as this may damage the goods.

Should you decide to return the goods you must notify us of cancellation in writing (by post to the address below, or by email to sales@northernfilters.co.uk within 14 days of receipt of the goods. Following cancellation you are under a legal duty to not use the goods, and to take care of them.

You must return the goods to us securely packaged, in the condition in which they were received, at your cost, as soon as possible, with as much of their original packaging and their original paperwork as possible. We will refund to you, within 30 working days of receiving the goods, the sums paid by you in relation to them.

For items sent in error your return postage will be re-imbursed up to a value of £8.00. If the cost of returning the item is going to exceed this we are able to arrange a courier collection for the cost of £8.00 (UK Mainland only) if required, otherwise we recommend using the second class recorded option through your local Post Office.

If you do not return the goods within 21 days of your cancellation notice, we may chose to recover the goods from you, and if we do so, to charge you for the cost of doing so. If, despite sending a cancellation notice, you do not return the goods or fail to make them available for collection within 30 days of your notice of cancellation, you will be deemed to have accepted the goods, at which point a new purchase contract will be made, and if we have already granted a refund, you will be re-charged for your order at the price set out on the web site.

ACCEPTANCE OF RETURNS:

When we have accepted and processed your return we will be in touch to let you know how we are to proceed. Due to Health and Safety reasons we will NOT accept your return for any reason if it is sent back to us dirty or damaged.

This does not affect your statutory rights.

Returns Do's and Dont's

You may return goods by mail to the returns address below. We recommend that you send your goods back by recorded delivery or a secure delivery method which requires a signature on delivery, as we cannot be held responsible for it being lost or damaged before it arrives to us.

If at all possible, please include with the goods a copy of your internet invoice, cancellation notice (where applicable) or a written note of your name, address, e-mail address, order number, and reason for return. This enables us to identify the transaction and speeds up the process, and prevents fraudulent returns.

Where you and we agree that an exchange of goods is appropriate, we reserve the right to charge you our costs for posting the exchange goods to you and you should include the appropriate postage amount for the outgoing postage of an exchanged item, or provide written authority for us to take the money from your account. Similarly, where the goods are returned to us as undelivered by your postal service, and we agree to re-send them to you, you will have to pay the additional postage costs.

Where goods are returned in a damaged, worn or dirty condition, which indicates that they have been worn or used after you have had a reasonable chance to inspect them on receipt, we will consider you to be in breach of your legal duty to take reasonable care of the goods and reserve the right to recover appropriate sums from you.

Goods will not be accepted for return that have been ordered specifically by a customer.

Where you return items to us which are not the goods which we dispatched to you (which we can easily check), you will not have returned the goods, and accordingly will be deemed to have accepted the original goods which we sent you. We will notify the police where there is any attempt at fraud or dishonesty (for example where lower value items are returned), and will actively pursue all such cases through the courts. We will also actively fight any fraudulent claim-backs made through your credit card company.

If you do not comply with your obligations above, we may make a reasonable charge to cover any costs that we incur (for example in respect of wasted collection journeys or for goods that you have wrongly used, damaged, dirtied, or lost).
