16. Refund and exchange Policy.

 

With any request for refunds, the buyer must bear any cost to return the item/s back to us at our address ( on the contact us page). It would be advisable to send any returns by postal service requiring either insurance or signature on delivery, so as to ensure your item should not go missing. Should the item/s be damaged by the postal service, your package would be marked as such on delivery by your postal service, and this would be the only circulstance we would agree to refund postal charges, on receipt of everything returnes (product, packaging and postal damage evidence). We will also ask for a copy of your proof and cost of posting, which will be refunded once the item has been received, and inspected to ensure it abides by the policy. If an item received back shows obvious signs of any usage (such as clothing wear), a refund will not be provided. Refunds will not be given for CUSTOM ORDERS of your own designs as we cannot control the quality of the original image you provide, if deemed too low a resolution. EVERY computer and audio product is invisibly security marked prior to shipping. We have had customers attempt to return their own 'damaged' game or music cassette, once they received our quality product, to have a refund, only to find that the item they have sent back does not bear our security mark. We do not tolerate this type of fraudulent behavior, so please don't test us, to see what consequences this brings?

​

17. Country taxes.

​

We ship to the UK and European Country zone only. Should your country or State impose a sales or import duty tax on goods being received, you should be aware of this and accept this when you place your order, as we will not be responsible for any excess charges due to your local law for import duties. For UK deliveries, we offer to prepay any VAT import charges on the value of order placed.

Postal Timescales
Apart from custom made to order products, all Items are usually held in stock in UK Regional area and dispatched from there, unless the item description specifically states an expected delivery schedule, such as for custom made to order items. Should an item be out of stock at the time your order is placed (can sometimes happen if multiple orders from multiple customers arrive on same day), then we will have the product/s shipped direct to you from the manufacturer if still available. This may extend the delivery time from an expected 5-10 days, up to 24 days for delivery, Due to any item/s being dispatched to you from an overseas point of origin (manufacturer), the dispatch email you receive will advise expected delivery schedule if this is relevant. We must also advise that for UK customers, on extremely rare occasions, it has been known for UK HMRC services to stop and inspect our packages, as they are arriving to you from a non-EU region (Guernsey, Channel Islands), customs and revenue services tend to randomly inspect packages to see if VAT or an import duty can be applied. The Big Gift Shop automatically pays in advance any customs vat duty on UK only Deliveries from us and your package will be clearly marked with this detail, but for any other  European destination we cannot be liable for any import duty should this occur, as so many countries and states have vat. gst etc..

Our online purchasing policy allows you the protection of a seven day cooling off period . This often only applies to EU region, and even though our location is outside of the EU, we will still honour this policy. It applies from the moment you pay for the goods on our website. If, for whatever reason, you decide you no longer want the item, we MUST receive an email or letter request within the seven working days for us to honour a refund of the item cost. Postage costs cannot be refunded. As the item is either received by you, or en route to you at this stage, a refund will be then be granted, on the safe return of the item directly to our address. The cost of return must be borne by you, and it is recommended that it be sent using a tracking or signature required service to ensure we do receive this back. Once the seven day cooling period is over, the goods must be received by you within 30 days of the purchase date, otherwise the distance selling act can cover request for refunds or replacement items. This is not valid should you have an order for a custom design product of your own design.

Any return requests, after the initial seven day cooling off period, and under the Sale of Goods Act 1994, and Consumer Regulations 2002, is at the retailers discretion if a refund will be offered. Generally if the item sent to a customer is the incorrect item, or serious postal damage can be proven, then a refund or replacement would be issued. Should a customer decide to return an item just because they changed their mind, this is NOT a valid reason that the legal requirements would allow a refund or replacement item after the seven day cooling off period has ended. Postal damaill of course allow any customer to contact us to obtain a replacement or refund, on return of the damaged item including pthe packaging.

Likewise, the Internet Distance Selling Act 2000 covers this same policy.

Should you receive an item, which upon delivery is seriously damaged whilst in the postal system, then the whole item and packaging as you received this, should be returned to us, where a replacement item will then be shipped to you. Unfortunate as these circumstances may be, we cannot be held responsible for postal damage, but will replace items should this be obvious.
