How to Request a Return
To request a return:
- Contact us through our Contact page within 30 days of receiving your order.
- Provide your order number and reason for the return.
- Wait for return instructions before sending the item back.
- Securely package the item to prevent damage during transit.
- Ship the item using the return instructions provided.
Returns sent without prior approval may experience delays in processing.
Return Shipping Costs
If the return is due to:
- A damaged item
- An incorrect item sent by us
- A manufacturing fault
Bed Ted Books will cover the reasonable return shipping costs where applicable.
If the return is due to:
- A change of mind
- Ordering the wrong product
- No longer wanting the item
The customer is generally responsible for the return shipping costs unless otherwise required by applicable consumer laws.
Refund Process
Once your returned item has been received and inspected, we will notify you of the outcome.
If approved, your refund will be processed to the original payment method used for the purchase.
Refund processing times may vary depending on your payment provider but are typically completed within 5–10 business days after approval.
Partial Refunds
In certain situations, only a partial refund may be issued, including where:
- The returned item is not in its original condition.
- Parts or accessories are missing.
- The item has been damaged after delivery for reasons not caused by Bed Ted Books.
Each request is assessed individually.
Exchanges
If you receive a defective or damaged book, we may offer a replacement instead of a refund where appropriate.
Replacement availability depends on stock levels.
If the product is no longer available, a refund or suitable alternative may be offered.
Order Cancellations
If your order has not yet been processed or dispatched, you may request cancellation by contacting us as soon as possible.
Once an order has been dispatched, it cannot usually be cancelled and must instead follow the return procedure outlined in this policy.
Sale Items
Discounted or promotional items are generally eligible for returns under the same conditions as regular-priced products unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase.
International Orders
Customers outside our primary shipping region may be responsible for:
- Customs duties
- Import taxes
- Local handling fees
- Return shipping costs where applicable
These charges are determined by local authorities and are the responsibility of the customer.
Consumer Rights
Nothing in this Refund & Return Policy limits or excludes your statutory rights under applicable consumer protection laws.
If local laws provide additional rights, those rights will always apply.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Refund & Return Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices or legal requirements.
The latest version will always be available on this page.
