Shipping & Returns Policy

CANCELLATION / RETURNS POLICY

You may cancel your order within 14 days of completing your transaction for a full refund, if the item has been dispatched you may return most new, unopened items within 14 days of delivery for a full refund. We’ll also pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.)

You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper; however, in many cases, you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).

If you need to return an item, simply use the contact us page, please include your order number, and we will provide a unique RMA number to put on the package for return, We’ll notify you via e-mail of your refund once we’ve received and processed the returned item.

NON-DELIVERY – RETURN TO SENDER

All parcels returned as undelivered will have the cost of the product refunded, a fee of £6.50 is applied for the return shipping from the dedicated courier, and these fees are unavoidable and must be paid. If you wish for the item to be despatched once again there will be a further delivery fee applied before the goods are resent. Please ensure someone is home to sign for your goods, log in, and track your order often to ensure you know when the item will be delivered to avoid unnecessary fees.

*** Free Delivery items will also have a return fee of £6.50 fee applied, as the cost of delivery has been applied to your order we cannot claim this fee back from the carrier who has attempted delivery of your items, please ensure your address is accurate as failure to supply accurate information or collect items will automatically have this fee applied.

All consignments leaving Soetiks premises will be tracked and these tracking numbers for both Couriers and Royal Mail will be made available in your ‘My Account’ area on dispatch of your order.

Should your order be undeliverable i.e when Royal Mail or Specified Courier tries to deliver the item and there is no answer at the delivery address, a card will be left advising the location of the local depot for collection or to arrange re-delivery. The courier will make two delivery attempts before the order is returned to Soetik and at any time you can contact Soetik via phone or email to arrange delivery.

Should a package sent through Courier be returned to us undelivered (due to Courier not being able to deliver for reasons outside their control) you will be liable for a return charge of £15.00 to cover the shipping back to Courier. On re-delivering the item to you, we will ask for another shipping fee – once this amount has been paid, we will resend the item.

Soetik has no liability to you for any delay in delivery or for any damage or defect to goods delivered that is caused by any event or circumstances beyond its reasonable control. During transport network delays, strikes, and adverse weather conditions Soetik will endeavor to keep you updated on the extent of any delays.

Where any of the products on your order are not in stock at the time you place your order we will notify you immediately, and any items not in stock will revert to a back-order status.

Further Info:

  • All shortages must be notified to us within 48 hours of receipt of your parcel, to ensure a speedy investigation is carried out.

Should a package sent via Royal Mail fail to be delivered please report it to us by email or using our contact form. We will do all we can to help but please note that as advised by Royal Mail we must allow a period of three weeks from the expected delivery date (and be advised by Royal Mail that the package is irretrievably lost) before any action such as sending a replacement item(s) or canceling the order and processing a refund can be made.

Delivery and/or re-direction charges will apply if an incorrect address or incorrect address details are provided and a package has to be re-routed or re-sent after it has left our dispatch center. A standard charge of £6.50 is payable.
