Returns & Warranty Information

Our returns terms and conditions

CWC conforms to the Distance Selling Regulations, which are designed to protect you when buying items online or by Mail Order. You have the legal right to cancel your order for most items within 14 working days of receiving the goods. However, this right does not apply to certain items such as personalised products and perishable goods. If you wish to cancel using this right, you need to inform us in writing within 14 working days starting the day after you received the goods. You must take reasonable care of the goods and immediately return them to us in the normal way. We will not consider that you have taken reasonable care of the goods if they have been used in a way or to an extent beyond what would be reasonable when examining the goods in a shop before purchase.

If you are not satisfied or if you have ordered the wrong items, the items are damaged or faulty upon receipt or you simply don't require the item, we offer a flexible returns policy and are happy to accept items back for a refund or exchange.
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, you have an early right to reject goods that are unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described, and get a full refund. This right is limited to 30 days from the date you take ownership of the goods. If an item is faulty and needs to be returned, you do not need to pay postage costs for the return of the faulty item. If you need to return an item that arrived damaged, not as described or faulty, we would refund the total cost of the return.
