Additions to orders:  If, having placed your order, you remember that you need to add extra item/s to your web order, we are able to do this if your order has not already been packed.  To add extra items please contact us by phone on 01543 417650, as soon as possible after placing the initial order, giving your name, the order number, and full details of the item/s you would like adding.  Please be sure to have your card details to hand so that we can take payment for the additional items.  If the initial order has already been packed any additions will be treated as a new order.

 

Paying with Gift vouchers:  If you have been given Spellbound Gift Vouchers you can use them against your web order.  To do this enter your order in the usual way on the system; when you receive your confirmation of order email reply to it stating that you have gift vouchers and list the amount and code of each voucher that you have.  The total amount of the vouchers will then be deducted from your order value at the time of processing

 

Despatch:  The majority of orders are despatched within one working day of receipt, however this can be longer at very busy times.  If your order will take more than 3 working days to despatch we will contact you.  Special requests, custom kits and large wholesale quantities can take up to seven days.  Please ensure when entering your contact details that we have a reliable telephone number or email contact for you so that we can address any queries promptly.

 

Out of Stock Items:  Although we endeavour to keep the web-site fully updated and only advertise goods for sale that are in-stock, occasionally periods of high demand may lead to a delay between an item selling out and being removed from the web-site.  If we think we have a suitable alternative we will try to contact you by phone and/or email to see if this would be acceptable for you.  If we do not hear back from you within 24 hours we will send the order without the out of stock items, refunding to your card or PayPal account the value of the out of stock items along with any refundable postage.  This is to ensure that the orders are not delayed for more than a day due to an item going out of stock.  We do not hold back orders for out of stock items. 

 

Returns:  You may return any unsuitable items within 14 days of invoice date.  All returns must be in their original packaging and in an unused condition.  Please also enclose a note explaining the reason for the return together with your name, invoice number, address and telephone number.  We will also need to know whether you wish the value of the returned items to be credited to your Spellbound account against future orders, or to be refunded to you.

To Return an item - Please return it in it's original packaging, in an unused condition, to:

Returned items which are not in new or unused condition or which are returned after the approval period may not be credited to your account unless they are faulty.  Delivery charges are non-refundable as this part of our service to you has been completed.
