Regretfully, refunds can only be credited to the credit card or payment account of the person who originally purchased the item.
To receive a refund for an unwanted gift the item(s) must be returned in their original condition. Bottles must have unbroken seals, and all items must be untainted.

The cost of returning the item(s) is borne by the person returning the item(s) and they must be properly packaged, with sufficient protective packaging to avoid breakages in transit.

Refunds will be declined it the item(s) are returned in a damaged state. Please protect them thoroughly for transit.
HOPE Sussex Community do not refund original shipping costs or any costs incurred by you in returning your unwanted gifts.

Dissatisfied Customers

If, however, you feel you are not entirely happy with the level of service or the products you have purchased, you may return your items. All items being returned must be in their original condition, with unbroken seals on bottle lids. Returns must be made within 14 days of delivery, in exchange for a refund.

HOPE Sussex Community do not refund original shipping costs or any costs incurred by you (P&P etc) if you make a return on this basis.

However, if HOPE Sussex Community has failed to achieve its own very high standards, then we will admit fault, and provide a refund in full.

Packaging Your Returns

Wrap bottles in bubble wrap or corrugated cardboard, firmly sealing the wrapping around the bottles. Either use an appropriately sized box or jiffy bag to return the items. Use wadding / void-fill to ensure the items are firmly placed within their outer packaging so that they cannot move around within their packaging whilst in transit.
Items returned in a damaged state will not be refunded.
You must put your full postal address on the outside of the parcel.
