What Is This Return And Refund Policy?

1. In keeping with Hamleys’ goal of ensuring User satisfaction, this return and refund Policy (“Return and Refund Policy”), together with the Terms of Use, sets out Hamleys’ procedures and policies in accepting Product returns, once a Product has been delivered to a User after purchase from the Platforms. Any return of Products by Users shall be governed by and subject to the terms and conditions set out under this Return and Refund Policy.

2. Users are required to peruse and understand the terms of this Return and Refund Policy. If you do not agree to the terms contained in this Return and Refund Policy, you are advised not to accept the Terms of Use and may forthwith leave and stop using the Platforms. The terms contained in this Return and Refund Policy shall be accepted without modification and you agree to be bound by the terms contained herein by initiating a request for purchase of Product(s) on the Platforms.

Terms Of Return And Refund

1. If the User is dissatisfied with the purchased Product received from Hamleys, or in the event where there are defects and deficiencies in the Product (attributable to, and accepted by Hamleys after due verification at its sole discretion), a User may initiate a request for returning the Product on the Platforms. The User shall initiate such requests for a return not later than 30 (thirty) days from the date on which he/she received the delivery of the Product. While raising a request for return on the Platforms, the User shall have the option to seek a refund of the money paid by him/her towards the purchase of the Product. The User will be required to produce a copy of the original invoice at the time of placing a request for return or exchange of Products. Hamleys reserves the right to alter and enforce this Return and Refund Policy at any time without having to serve a prior notice on the User.

Upon successfully placing an order on the Platforms and after Hamleys has successfully handed over the Product(s) to its Logistic Partner (as defined in the Delivery Policy), the User will receive a unique tracking identity number, which will enable the User in tracking the status of delivery of the purchased Products. Prior to the dispatch of the purchased Products, should the User decide to cancel the purchase, the User can do so by referencing the unique tracking identity number received by the User and requesting Hamleys to process a cancellation by sending an email to [email protected]. In all events of cancellation, prior to the dispatch of the purchased Products, Hamleys shall initiate refunds within 2 (two) business days from the date on which it received the request from the User. The refund will reflect in the User’s bank account within such reasonable time (subject to the policies of the User’s bank in case of bank account/credit card refunds) from the date on which Hamleys initiates the refund. All refunds shall be subject to applicable charges as may be deducted by the User’s bank.

If a User has purchased Products which form a part of a package of other Products, or if the Product forms a part of a promotional package (collectively, the “Bundled Package”), the User shall be required to return all the Products that form a part of the Bundled Package for Hamleys to process refunds.
