Returns Policy – Changed Your Mind

You are within your right to cancel an order placed with us, up to 14 working days from the date your order is delivered for a full refund. Goods returned after this will be subject to any cost we incur to collect the goods back from you (if applicable). We will not accept return of goods delivered more than 30 days ago. Send your cancellation request to customer@tapshop321.com with name, address and order number.

If you cancel your order before the goods are shipped, then we will refund the cost of the goods along with our standard delivery charge.

If you have paid for one of our Additional Delivery Options, you will have to bear the cost of this less the standard delivery charge.

If you decide to return goods after they have been delivered, we will require photographs of items to be returned. Please send to customer@tapshop321.com along with name, address and order details. If you are returning an unwanted item it must not be damaged, marked or have been installed. The item needs to be in its original packaging. You can inspect the item but must not cause excess damage to packaging. If you do need to re-seal the item please ONLY use clear tape.

Please note that any goods that are in sealed packaging are clearly visible without the need to open the packaging. We will not accept returns of toilet seats where the sealed packaging has been removed – this is for hygiene reasons.

It is your responsibility to arrange this type of return at your own cost, if you prefer we can arrange collection of small items for £40,( items under 10kg & under 1m in size) medium items £50 ( Toilets, basins and furniture etc) and large items for £60 (baths, enclosures and screens etc) on request. If you choose to send the item back yourself, we suggest that you take out carrier insurance to protect yourself and the goods against damage. For large palletised deliveries please be aware that the costs to send them back will be considerably higher than you are charged for delivery. (Please contact transport@tapshop321.com for further details)

It is your responsibility to ensure that returned goods reach us in good condition complete with all packaging. Please do not write the return address directly on product boxes and rather use a label or a4 sheet of paper adhered well to the outside of the packing.

If you wish to return an item but are ordering additional products, then providing we are using the same transport type we shall endeavour to arrange collection at the same time.

Customised Bespoke Made to Measure Products - We will not accept cancellation or return on customised, made-to-measure or bespoke products as these products are exempt from the right to cancel under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.Examples: Customised, made-to-measure or bespoke products are those that are specially manufactured, altered or modified to your specific requirements i.e. fitted furniture with colour/size/shape variations or whirlpool baths. Another example is where you have ordered a regular bath and then ordered a whirlpool system, air spa or chromotherapy light which requires the bath to be drilled or modified.
