In the unlikely event that you are not satisfied with your blinds you have the right to return unopened goods within 7 days from date of receipt if not satisfied and you will be liable for the carriage costs. When you return goods, please ensure that they are packed sufficiently because we cannot accept goods that are damaged during their return.
