Cancelling your Order

Before we have dispatched your order
If you wish to cancel your order before we have dispatched it, contact us by phone for a full refund (see Refunds). We normally dispatch orders quite quickly after they have been placed, so it's best to call us rather than emailing us in this case.

After we have dispatched your order
If you wish to cancel your order after it has been dispatched, you can do so up to 14 days after the date you receive your goods for a full refund (see Refunds). You will need to give us written cancellation notice via email, fax (0844 815 4992) or by post. Goods must be returned to us in line with our Returns Policy below.

Our Returns Policy

• Put the original order confirmation / delivery note inside the package (if this is not possible then you must include a slip with the order number so we can track the goods when they arrive).
• Package the goods securely to ensure they are not damaged in transit. The packaging in which the item was sent should only be used for the return if it is in good condition and continues to offer adequate protection for the goods.

Unwanted Items
You may return any unwanted items to us up to 28 days after the day you receive it for a full refund (see Refunds), provided they are unused and in perfect condition when received. You must ensure that the goods you are returning are packaged adequately to protect against damage. If you fail to take reasonable care of the goods before they are returned to us, and this results in damage or deterioration, we will charge you for the reduction in value. Please note that we do not accept returns for bespokely made products.

In the unfortunate event that you do not like the colour we are unable to accept the product back if they have been opened. Should the product be unopened and unused we will be happy to refund. Many of our products are available in samples sizes to allow you to try test areas first. We do our best to have swatches that show a good colour indication however the wood you are applying to and/or your monitor/screen settings can mean there will be some variation.

Duplicate or Incorrect Items
If we have sent you duplicate or incorrect items, we can arrange to collect these items and resend the correct ones at no cost to you. Please contact us by phone to arrange.

Items Damaged in Transit
We package your order as best we can to minimise damage during transit to you. You are of course entitled to receive your goods in perfect condition, but occasionally - due to the nature of the products we supply - some damages can occur. These damages are usually limited to slightly dented tins with the products within remaining 100% usable. If you receive your goods in less than 100% condition and would like to get them exchanged, please contact us by phone and we can arrange this for you.

Faulty Items
Faulty products can be returned to us within 30 days of receiving the goods for a full refund (see Refunds) or an exchange. If a product becomes faulty after 30 days you may wish to contact the manufacturer directly as they may be able to offer support and troubleshooting with the issue you have with the item. We test every single return. If a returned product is found not to be faulty by our test centre we will return the item to you and you will be liable for the postage. We will not refund any postage for items found to be non-defective.

Your statutory rights are not affected.

Refunds

Refunds can take up to 7 days to process. If you have returned goods to us, generally once we receive the goods back we will issue any refund due straight away, but it may take up to 7 working days to appear on your bank statement. Please note that any credit card fees paid at time of ordering are non-refundable. Refunds will only be made back to the credit/debit card, or PayPal account used, or the person/organisation named on any cheque payments for the original purchase. Refunds will not include any outbound delivery cost charged at the time of order unless the goods delivered were faulty, damaged or sent to you as a result of our error. Wood Finishes Direct will only refund the cost of products returned in accordance with our Returns Policy.
