RETURNS AND EXCHANGES
Cancellation Rights & Returns - UK and EU
If you live in the United Kingdom or another European Union country, Iceland Lichtenstein or Norway, you have a legal right to cancel your order after you have received and inspected the items. Please note than in the case of clothes and accessories, "inspect" means examine, and does not permit you to use the items. Please see our item specific guidance below.
Please note that you are under a legal duty to take care of the product, and this includes all packaging and labelling. Care must be taken to ensure that the goods remain in the best possible condition.
Please take particular care with items which are easily damaged. If you need guidance on the best way to try any item without damaging it, please contact us. When trying on goods it should be reasonably apparent before fully trying on the goods whether they are likely to fit or not and you should not stretch goods or force zips or fastenings as this may damage the goods.
Should you decide to return the goods you must notify us of cancellation in writing by post (to the address below), or by email to admin@tottie.co.uk within 30 business days of receipt of the goods.
Following cancellation you are under a legal duty throughout the period of cancellation to retain possession of the goods and take reasonable care of the goods. If you fail to take reasonable care of the goods we will bring legal action against you for breach of this duty.
You must return the items to us securely packaged, in a good condition consistent with your statutory duty to take care of them, at your own cost, by recorded delivery or by any other appropriate method so as to reasonably ensure that we receive them, as soon as possible after sending us your cancellation. We would suggest that returning the items with your cancellation notice would save you postage costs. We will refund to you, as soon as we reasonably can, and within 30 days of receiving your cancellation, the sums paid by you in relation to them.
If you do not return the goods within 10 days of your cancellation notice, we may chose to recover the goods from you, and if we do so, to charge you for the direct costs of doing so. We have a legal right to bring court action against you for breach of statutory duty if the items are not recovered or have not been looked after, and wherever there is evidence of fraud we refer matters to the police for criminal prosecution
This does not affect your statutory rights.
Returns - Rest of World (Inc USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand)
The EU cancellation rights set out above do not apply to customers living outside of the EU.
For non-EU customers, we hope you will be fully satisfied with our products. If for any reason you are not satisfied because they are miss-described or faulty, we will be happy to accept a return from you in accordance with the following policy. You must contact us as soon as possible to explain your concerns and your wish to return the goods by email to admin@tottie.co.uk. If we reasonably agree with your concerns, we will confirm by email that you may return an item in its original condition and packaging, which must be sent to us within 7 days of us sending to you that written confirmation. On receipt of the returned item and verification that your concerns are genuine, we will issue an internet credit note or item exchange subject to our discretion.

We do not refund shipping charges.
Returns Do's and Don'ts - All Countries
You may return goods by mail to the returns address below. We recommend that you send your goods back by recorded delivery or a secure delivery method which requires a signature on delivery, as we cannot be held responsible for it being lost or damaged before it arrives to us.
If at all possible, please include with the goods a copy of your internet invoice, cancellation notice (where applicable) or a written note of your name, address, e-mail address, order number, and reason for return. This enables us to identify the transaction and speeds up the process, and prevents fraudulent returns.
Please note that when posting return goods from outside the UK, you are responsible for paying any customs levies or duties on those goods payable either on exit from your country or on entry to the UK. If the goods which you have sent back to us are kept in customs because you have not paid those levies or duties, we will not have received them. Because it is your responsibility to pay all customs duties, legally you will not have returned the goods to us / kept them in your care, and so will not be entitled to any refund / exchange.
Where you and we agree that an exchange of goods is appropriate, we reserve the right to charge you our costs for posting the exchange goods to you and you should include the appropriate postage amount for the outgoing postage of an exchanged item, or provide written authority for us to take the money from your account. Similarly, where the goods are returned to us as undelivered by your postal service, and we agree to re-send them to you, you will have to pay the additional postage costs.
Where goods are returned in a damaged, worn or dirty condition, which indicates that they have been worn or used after you have had a reasonable chance to inspect them on receipt, we will consider you to be in breach of your legal duty to take reasonable care of the goods and reserve the right to recover appropriate sums from you.
Where you return items to us which are not the goods which we dispatched to you (which we can easily check), you will not have returned the goods, and accordingly will be deemed to have accepted the original goods which we sent you. We will notify the police where there is any attempt at fraud or dishonesty (for example where lower value items are returned), and will actively pursue all such cases through the courts. We will also actively fight any fraudulent claim-backs made through your credit card company.

ITEM SPECIFIC GUIDANCE
WELLINGTON BOOTS
When trying on boots they should only be worn indoors
GARMENTS
When trying on garments of clothing for size and fit this should only be carried out indoors and reasonable care should be taken to avoid damage to the garments.
Please avoid forcing items.
ZIPS AND BUTTONS
When fastening zips or buttons on any of the goods supplied please do not force these. In the event that you have forced a zip or button to fasten and damage to the goods results, we will consider you in breach of your statutory duty to take reasonable care of the goods and will take steps to recover out losses from you.
DAMAGED GOODS
On receipt, if it is immediately apparent that the package is damaged, please do not sign for it as being in good condition, but mark on the delivery slip that it has arrived damaged.
If you should receive an item that is not in perfect condition or was damaged in shipping, please immediately notify us by emailing info@tottie.co.uk
SHIPPING
All goods are shipped either by registered UK delivery or registered INTERNATIONAL airmail. Both methods will require a signature on receipt. Unfortunately we are not able to control the vagaries of the postal service, but would recommend that from the time of despatch, on average you allow up to 3 business days for UK orders and up to 10 business days for all international orders. The shipping rate is per order and will not change however many items you order. For international shipping, we reserve the right to charge by the box rather than by the order, but will notify you in advance where we do so.
In the unlikely event that we are unable to dispatch goods to you within 30 days of receiving your order we will inform you of this and provide you with a revised date for delivery. If this revised date is unacceptable to you we will provide you with a refund for the goods and postage.
IMPORT DUTIES
When ordering goods for delivery overseas you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches the specified destination. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be.
FRAUD AND DELIVERY ADDRESS
In order to protect against fraud we reserve the right to insist that we ship items to the billing address of the credit card holder. We do check the address you give on your order before shipment. In the event that we have agreed a delivery address with you which is not the billing address, for example at your place of work, or at a friend's or neighbours' address, delivery to you will be deemed to have taken place on a signature being received at that address. Similarly if, at your request, you have given us specific delivery instructions which our courier follows, such as hiding an item in a specific place whilst you are out, it is your responsibility to make sure that you are happy with the security of any address, location or person to which you have asked us to deliver.
