Returns Policy

Our online returns policy lasts for 30 days from purchase. If more than 30 days have passed since your purchase, we unfortunately cannot offer a refund or exchange.

To be eligible for a return, your item(s) must be unopened and/or unused, in the same condition as you received them and in the original packaging.

To process your return, we will require a receipt or proof of purchase.

Please do not send your purchase back to the manufacturer – send them back to Hancocks at the following address:

Unit 8B,

Manton Wood Enterprise Park,

Worksop,

Nottinghamshire,

S80 2RS

As long as products are not defective we can accept returns within 30 days of receipt of goods.

Items must be in an unopened condition, still in their original packaging (as sold), and well within their shelf-life.

You will need to cover the associated delivery costs for the returned unwanted products.

Once your return has been received and inspected, we will send you an email notifying you that we have received it. We will also notify you whether your refund has been approved or rejected.

If approved, your refund will be processed and credit will automatically be applied to your original method of payment.

Card payments should be in your account within 24 hours, whilst Bacs and PayPal transactions can take 3-5 days.
