Please contact Chas Clarkson immediately if any items in your parcel are damaged. We will arrange for replacements to come out to you ASAP and depending on the severity of the damage will advise you what to do with that stock. (We may need it returned to consult with the manufacturer or may suggest you dispose of it if it would be less economical to return).

What will you do if a product I order is out of stock?

Unless your delivery instructions have stipulated a ‘due by’ date we will hold back your order for up to 5 days awaiting the stock. If the goods are not expected soon you will be contacted and offered a substitution, credit or back-order of the item.

How accurate are the website images and the product information?

We try to update any changes in stock ASAP but there may be the occasional variation. If we cannot update the image immediately we will ensure the description is correct. Therefore please always refer to the measurements, colour and material described to ensure you will know what you are getting.

It’s not what I expected. Can I return it?

We will accept returns up to 14 days after order receipt. You will need to contact us to advise the return or we cannot guarantee a refund or credit will be issued. Goods returned for reasons of incorrect choice, no longer required or change of mind are to be returned at the buyer’s expense and will only be accepted if unopened/ in original purchase condition. Returns cannot be accepted after the season for which the stock is intended (i.e. Mothers’ Day posters cannot be returned in June).

When are new products added for upcoming seasons?

We will always have our seasonal stock updated no later than 90 days prior to the occasion. If you need information about stock earlier than this please contact us and we will email you any information we can to help.
