When you purchase online or by phone you have a statutory right to return unopened goods (other than perishable or customised) up to 14 days after receiving your order: this is the “cooling off period”. (European Directive on Distance Selling) We can change or cancel an order up until it is dispatched. If the order has been dispatched, you can return the unopened goods to us and we will organise a refund (excluding delivery cost). Refunds are processed within 7 days of receipt and to your original payment method.
Temperature controlled products, like animal vaccines, are exempt and cannot be returned due to change of mind. These products are clearly marked as temperature controlled on their product page. This does not affect your statutory rights.
