The items must be returned at the customers expense in “as new condition” with all original packaging. Please note where an item is not faulty we will charge a 5% re-stocking fee to cover bank charges and packaging costs incurred to ourselves. Original shipping charges will not be refunded. Goods may only be returned with permission from Blakemar Briars. Any item returned without consent from Blakemar Briars will not be accepted. If the customer does not follow the guidelines listed on this page, the customer will be responsible for any duties incurred. If a product is returned faulty within 28 days of purchase Blakemar Briars will offer a refund or a replacement subject to the item being deemed faulty. Customers must contact Blakemar Briars before sending any items. This initial call could prevent any unnecessary returns. Blakemar Briars reserves the right to refuse a refund including postage if the item is deemed not to be faulty. Blakemar Briars is not responsible for ensuring safe delivery of a returned item. Blakemar Briars does not accept any responsibility for any alterations, which the customer has made to an item, which has developed a fault whilst in their possession such as engraving, and no form of compensation will be issued. Claims for damage, non-functionality and shortages must be made within 7 days of receipt of goods, otherwise standard warranty procedures apply.

In the event that a product is listed at an incorrect price or supply to ourselves has been restricted, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel any products/services ordered.
