Store credit is provided by way of a coupon code. The coupon code will not work with any other discount codes or bundles/combo deals applied and will only be valid for 1 month. Please note, when using your coupon code, please ensure that it is used in a single transaction as any leftover amount would not carry forward.

After you have placed your return/exchange/cancellation request, your store credit will only be issued once we have received the product in our warehouse. Depending on your location and the issue raised it can take between 3-9 days for the store credit to be issued.
Amount of store credit
If you have used a coupon code in your initial purchase, then please note this amount will not be returned by way of store credit. The only amount that would be provided as a store credit would be the amount applicable paid by you over and above any coupon applied.
The delivery fees paid by you in the initial purchase are not eligible for any store credit. The store credit is strictly limited to the price of the product. Only in the case of a wrong or damaged product delivered will the delivery cost be returned in the form of store credit. Please refer to the return policy for complete details on the return eligibility
