This policy sets out the terms for the return of goods or services purchased through the online store operated by The Birlinn Yarn Company.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it, and it must be in the original packaging.

Other types of services cannot be returned for a refund, for example where the service begins as soon as you make the payment (e.g. a downloadable software product) or a gift card.

Under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, if you change your mind about a purchase you have made within 7 working days after the date of delivery you are entitled to a full refund of the original purchase price for the goods or services you wish to return, and the original postage and packaging charges made. You will not be entitled to a refund of the cost you incur in returning the item to us.

Our standard returns policy entitles you to a full refund of the purchase price, original postage and packaging charges but not the cost of return, if you change your mind (i.e. the goods or services provided are not faulty or were not described properly) within 7 working days of their delivery. You must contact us immediately by email, and return the goods to us in as-new condition within 30 days.

If the item you purchased was faulty or did not work properly, or you think the item was not as described in the item description, please contact us first before requesting a refund as we may be able to resolve your problem to your satisfaction.

Once your return is received and inspected we will contact you to let you know whether your refund will be processed or not, and credit your original method of payment within 10 days.

If you haven’t received a refund yet where we have told you we have issued one, please check your bank account, Paypal records or card statement to make sure it hasn’t been received and then contact your bank. Some banks or card companies can take up to 10 days to credit your account.

If an item you purchased was purchased with a discount voucher, then we will only refund the amount that you paid (and not the amount the item was listed for).
