Christies Direct allows you to return most items within 30 days of purchase, provided the item is unused and in original packaging. You must contact customer service to initiate a return and include your receipt with the parcel.

How returns work

Returns are processed by mail. You should contact Christies Direct customer service within 30 days with your product and purchase details. Include the returns form with your parcel, ensure the item remains in original packaging and unused condition, and send it by recorded post at your own cost. The retailer recommends using Royal Mail Returns Portal or recorded post.

Exclusions and restrictions

Scissors and blades have a shorter return window of 14 days instead of 30 days. International returns are not eligible for replacement or exchange; these orders are refunded instead. The retailer does not publish a list of other excluded categories or non-returnable items.

Refunds

Refunds are credited to your original payment method. Processing takes 7 days from when the retailer receives your return. For genuinely faulty goods, you receive a full credit; however, you are responsible for the cost of posting a faulty item back, unless damage occurred in transit (in which case the item must still be returned in original packaging).
