Return Policy
Let us know you want to return an item by submitting a completed return form on the Contact Page https://www.lavastore.co.uk/pages/contact and we will do the rest! All returns will be actioned within 48 hours of receipt (we don’t always work weekends though!). We will email you back using the email address provided in your customer return form submission to confirm, accept, and advise next steps. In the event that you have received a faulty or damaged item and need to return it through no fault of your own we will provide a tracked Royal Mail postage paid service. This will need to be printed and dropped to your local post office or collected at a time that suits you.
If the return relates to an unsanitary product that has been fitted, we will confirm by responding to the submitted returns form by email that it can be disposed of safely, without compromising your right to return.
Returning an unwanted item? No problem, just let us know.
-
Unwanted items can be returned up to 30 days after receipt of goods.
- If you are returning an unwanted item, it must not be damaged, installed or altered in any way.
- Please make sure that the goods are returned to us in new, unused condition (including all packaging) and must be taken care of whilst in your possession. Please note that the products must be in good condition and the packaging must be in resealable condition. Do not write on the packaging. We will check your products on receipt, and you will incur a deducted refund if the item or the packaging is in a damaged condition that restricts our ability to resell as new.
- You will be responsible for the delivery costs associated with the return. We recommend using a tracked service for sending any parcels. Failure to do so where parcels are lost in transit, they will not be refunded.
- Please note that some items are dispatched directly from our suppliers. This will be featured within the product detail on the product page.
- Products that are sent directly to a customer from the manufacturer will incur a 20-30% restocking fee depending on the manufacturer and the customer will need to cover the return expenses. We can confirm if this is applicable at the point we have received and processed the customer returns form.
- Please note the items need to be returned in their original packaging and we won’t be able to take any product that has been unsealed.
- Please note returns will not be accepted without a customer returns form submission. This allows us to determine the required action needed to get your return actioned promptly.
- Please ensure your original order number is sent with the item you are returning to speed up the returns process.
