refunds & returns

Our little refund promise.

We're a brand-new family-run studio and your happiness genuinely matters to us. Every friend is hand-crocheted to order, so we treat refunds with the same care we put into the stitches. Here is our policy in plain English — based on UK consumer law.

When we'll always refund
  • • Item arrives damaged or faulty
  • • Item is not as described
  • Wrong item sent
  • • Order is lost in the post for 21+ working days
  • • You changed your mind on a non-personalised stock item — within 14 days of delivery (UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013)
When we sadly can't refund
  • • A personalised order (custom animal, embroidered name or birthday) — unless it's faulty or wrong, these are exempt under UK law because they're made specifically for you
  • • Normal signs of love (a bit of cuddle wear after a few weeks)
  • • Items returned after the 14-day window without a fault
  • • Items damaged by washing in a machine (please surface-clean only)

How a refund works

01
Email us

Send a message to info@teddystinyfriends.co.uk with your order details and a photo of the issue if relevant. Or tap the button below — it pre-fills the email for you.

02
We reply within 48 hours

We'll let you know if the refund qualifies, request a return if needed (we'll send a freepost address for faulty/wrong items) and confirm what happens next.

03
Refund to your card

Approved refunds are processed via Stripe back to the original card within 3-5 working days. You'll get an automatic email from Stripe when it lands.

Your statutory rights

Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (right to a refund for faulty goods within 30 days) and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013(14-day cooling-off period for non-personalised distance sales). If you live in the UK, those laws always apply. We're a tiny shop and we always try to do the right thing.
