There are a few Terms and Conditions relating to our Returns process. We want to make the process as simple and easy as possible for our customers whilst safeguarding the service we provide.

Free returns are only available on orders delivered to and returned from a mainland UK address. 

If your items are unwanted, you must notify us of your intention to return within 14 days from receipt of your goods (not the invoice date) to qualify for free returns.

If your goods are faulty or damaged you have 30 days to notify us from receipt of your goods. 

Original packaging must be retained and you should ensure that the goods are returned to us packaged to the same standard as they were originally delivered.

If we arrange a collection it is important that someone is available to hand over the goods at the mutually agreed date/time. If no-one is at the collection address when the driver arrives we will still be charged for the visit and unfortunately any subsequent visits to collect will be chargeable.  

For unwanted items: Whilst we appreciate that you will want to inspect/try the goods they must be returned to us in an ‘as new’ condition. We reserve the right to charge a re-stocking fee should goods be returned with any damage, cosmetic or otherwise, this will be deducted from your refund. In cases of extreme damage your return may be refused.

Please note the following exclusions, (unless faulty or damaged) these items cannot be returned under our policy: 

• Special order/Bespoke items that have been ordered in specifically for you or modified to your personal requirements. 
• Computer Software, CD's and DVD's that are unsealed or have been registered.
• Opened/used mouthpieces or reeds.
• Items purchased in Store or via Websites/Marketplaces other than Normans.co.uk.
