Our Returns Policy

Due to the impact caused by the current COVID-19 situation, we are unable to process returns as quickly as we would like to. We will process your request as soon as we can, however, please be aware this can take up to 7-10 working days from receiving the glasses in our warehouse. You will receive an automated confirmation email once the return package has arrived with us, but we may not be able to process the return for up to 7-10 working days.

UK returns

You may return, exchange or receive a refund on your glasses if you are unhappy with them for any reason, providing that the following conditions are met:

• The returned glasses need to reach us, in the same condition in which you received them, within 90 days of our original dispatch date.
• You have included the returns authorisation form (sent with your original order) with your returns package.
• Returns MUST be in their original condition and with all the accessories included in your package (e.g. cases and cloths). You may be charged for any unreturned items if not.

When returning your product, we recommend that you obtain proof of postage. If you take our pre-paid label to the post office then you will be given a free proof of postage receipt. If you have lost the postage label, you can print a new one on the Royal Mail website.

Alternatively, you could use a recorded delivery service via a courier company, as we are unable to take responsibility for packages lost in post. Your statutory rights in relation to returns and refunds are not affected. See also section 11 of the terms and conditions: Your right to cancel.

International returns

Returns made from outside the UK are accepted if the following conditions are met:

• The returned glasses need to reach us, in the same condition in which you received them, within 90 days of our original dispatch date.
• You have included the returns authorisation form (sent with your original order) with your returns package. Returns must be in their original condition and with all the accessories included in your package (e.g. cases and cloths). You may be charged if you don’t return all the items sent to you.
• Postage fees incurred for returning glasses to us will need to be covered by the sender. Should it turn out that the return was necessary due to a fault on our end, we’ll be happy to refund postage fees if a receipt can be provided.

When returning your product, we recommend that you obtain proof of postage from the post office as we are unable to take responsibility for packages lost in post. Your statutory rights in relation to returns and refunds are not affected. See also section 11 of the terms and conditions: Your right to cancel.
