Cancelling and Returning Eligible Purchases

For eligible goods purchased online, you have the right to cancel your order within the statutory cooling-off period of 14 days, beginning on the day after you receive the goods.

To exercise this right, please contact Nicol Retailer Limited by email or through the contact options available on our website. Please do not return any item until you have contacted us and received the appropriate return instructions.

Eligible returned items must be unused, unopened where applicable, and in the same condition in which they were received. You must also provide your receipt, order confirmation or another valid form of proof of purchase.

Return deadline Once you have notified us that you wish to return an eligible product, the goods must be returned within 14 days.

Please do not send any product back to the manufacturer. All authorised returns must be sent or delivered to Nicol Retailer Limited using the return details provided below.
