We reduce your refund if you have used or damaged a product.
If you handle the product in a way which would not be acceptable in-store, we reduce your refund, to compensate us for its reduced value. For example, we reduce your refund if the product’s condition is not “as new”, price tags have been removed, the branded packaging is damaged or accessories are missing. In some cases, because of the way you have treated the product, no refund may be due. Our Customer Service Team can advise you on whether we’re likely to reduce your refund. You can contact our Customer Service Team on info@instashade.co.uk
When and how we refund you.
If you tell us you’ve changed your mind about a product that hasn’t been delivered or one that we’re collecting from you, we will refund you as soon as possible and within 14 days.
