You must coordinate the collection of Interior items with our Interiors team. Responsibility for Interiors items (including risk of loss or damage) passes to you at the time you collect the item from our premises or at the time we hand the item to your designated courier at our premises. If you or your courier undertake packing of the Interiors item at our premises, you are also responsible for the item during this time. Interiors items are excluded from any delivery promotions on our website. Please refer to our Interiors Shipping Policy.

Click & Collect

Please note that Click & Collect does not apply to Interiors items. Please refer to the Interiors Shipping Policy.

You can also order your products for delivery to one of our eligible shops, a list of which can be found on our Click & Collect page.

We will send you a despatch confirmation letting you know your order is ready for collection at the shop you selected. You will need to collect your order from our shop within the timescale specified in our despatch confirmation or, if no timescale is specified, within 14 days of our notice that your order is ready for collection unless we agree a longer collection period with you.

Your order confirmation (either printed or on a phone or tablet device) AND A valid photo ID (passport or driving license only) or the debit/credit card used to pay for the order. For PayPal and e-voucher orders you will need to bring photo ID (passport or driving license).

This does not affect your statutory rights.

Your Right to Cancel

If you cancel your order from us within this period by returning the products, we will refund you the price you paid for the products provided they are in their original condition.

However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the retuned products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

Except in the case of Interior items, we will also refund any delivery costs you have paid, although (as permitted by law) the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer, provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method. Interior items are only available for collection from us, so you remain responsible for the cost of returning the item to us, including any costs for shipping, packaging, insurance, duties and taxes.

We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible after you have cancelled your order, and in any event within the timescales indicated below:

(i) if you have received the product and we have not offered to collect it from you, within 14 days after the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us;

(ii) if you have not received the product or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you, within 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel your order.

If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your order, you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel your order. Information about how to return products is set out below. If we have offered to collect the product from you, we will collect the products from the address to which they were delivered and we will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection.

If you have returned the products (excluding Interiors items) to us because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the products in full, together with any applicable delivery charges. If you have returned an Interior item to us because at the time of collection the item was not in the same condition as stated at the time of purchase, we will refund the price of the item in full, however collection and return costs remain your responsibility. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to products that are faulty or not as described, and these legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in these terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

Monogrammed Products

Due to the nature of monogrammed products, returns, changes or cancellations are not accepted once an order has been placed. This does not affect your statutory rights. Payment will be taken at the time you submit your order.

For any further queries please contact our Customer Services who will be happy to assist.

Refund Method

Any refunds must be made through the website, following the returns procedure documented on the “Returns Page”, except for Interiors items where refunds needs to be arranged through our Interiors team (interiors@paulsmith.co.uk).

If you require an exchange on a faulty product, then provided we have stock available we will provide a replacement and you will not be charged for delivery when we send the replacement item to you.
