Refunds & Returns Policy
Refund Policy

Returns
Due to the handmade, customised and made to order nature of our items, we can only accept returns and process refunds or exchanges for items that have some kind of fault or were not as described.
Our returns policy lasts 14 days. If 14 days have passed since your purchase was delivered, unfortunately we cannot offer you a refund or exchange.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging and not have come into contact with any of the following - smoke, mould, scented products (of any kind) and allergens like nuts and pets. This is both because Tamsyn, the owner of VelvetVolcano has severe Mast Cell Disease and contact with an allergen could trigger an allergic reaction for her and, if appropriate, also for resale purposes.
We cannot accept returns for Sale items, Mystery Packs or Custom Orders (this includes custom colour combinations that you have picked for a product and custom fit, as these are unique to you)
To initiate a return, refund or exchange, please contact us on returns@velvetvolcano.co.uk
