Returns Policy
Extended Christmas Returns:
Orders placed from December 1st to 25th can be returned until the end of January.
Standard Returns:
Products can be returned within 30 days of purchase for a refund or exchange, excluding delivery charges. Items must be unused, in their original condition and packaging, with proof of purchase.
This does not affect your rights for faulty or misdescribed goods.
Open Box Items (Online Sales):
Open box items, such as ex-display or customer-returned products, are fully inspected and sold at a discount. These items may not be in their original packaging and could have minor cosmetic wear. However, they are unused, in excellent working order, and come with a full manufacturer's warranty and 30-day refund policy.
In-Store Purchases: Ex-Display, Special Orders, and Personalised Goods
Clearance, ex-display, personally selected, specially ordered, or made-to-order goods purchased in-store are non-refundable unless found faulty. Personalised or bespoke items cannot be returned due to their custom nature unless faulty.
Exclusions:
- Gift vouchers, charitable donations, personalised or made-to-order items, and personal care products (e.g., opened mattresses, toiletries, face masks).
- Multi-buy items must be returned together.
Return Costs:
The cost of returning unwanted items is the customer’s responsibility.
This policy complies with UK Consumer Rights regulations and does not affect your statutory rights.

All returned goods should be accompanied with a delivery note or proof of purchase. Please remember to enclose your name, address, telephone number and email address, and reason for returning the goods.
All credits and/or refunds will be made to the original card used to purchase the goods and will be made in no more than 14 days of the refund being authorised.
For DPD deliveries, the courier will make two delivery attempts on successive working days. If a mobile number has been provided with your order, the courier will contact the intended recipient prior to delivery.
We would ask that the intended recipient be available at the delivery address to receive the goods, as a signature is required.
The courier may also leave instructions at the delivery address on how to collect the consignment from a depot, should the delivery attempts be unsuccessful.
Samuel Johnston cannot be held liable for failed delivery attempts due to the absence of the recipient or in circumstances were the delivery address provided by the customer is inaccurate.
Deliveries which are returned to Samuel Johnston Ltd, due to refusal or failed delivery, may incur a return delivery charge; Samuel Johnston Ltd reserve the right to apply this charge to the returned order.
