Page 1: Returns & Refund Policy
Thank you for shopping with Xquisite By Design. We want you to love your purchase. Our returns policy is fully compliant with the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations and the Consumer Rights Act.
1. 14-Day Right to Cancel (Change of Mind)
You have the right to cancel your order and return your item(s) for any reason within a 14-day cooling-off period.
- The Window: You must notify us of your intent to cancel within 14 days from the day you (or a third party indicated by you) received physical possession of the goods. You then have an additional 14 days to send the items back.
- Condition for Change of Mind: To receive a full refund, items must be returned unused, unaltered, and in their original packaging. If the value of the goods is diminished due to unnecessary handling by you, a deduction may be made from your refund.
- Return Shipping: The customer is responsible for arranging and paying for the return shipping costs. We recommend using a trackable service with insurance.
- Exclusions: For health and hygiene reasons, wellness, bath, body, and aromatherapy products cannot be returned if the protective seals or packaging have been unsealed after delivery. Bespoke or custom-built furniture items are also exempt from standard cancellations.
2. Damaged, Faulty, or Incorrect Items
We take great quality care, but if an item arrives damaged or develops a fault, you are fully protected by law.

- Statutory Rights: Under the UK Consumer Rights Act, you have a 30-day short-term right to reject goods that are faulty, damaged, or not as described, entitling you to a full refund.

This is not a restriction of your legal consumer rights, but it enables us to immediately lodge a claim with our transit couriers and resolve your replacement much faster.
