Return Policy

OVERVIEW

Our refund and return policy is 14 days. To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.

If 14 days have passed since your purchase, a refund or exchange is not available for change of mind.

Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. See below.

CHANGE OF MIND RETURNS

If you change your mind within 14 days, you will be able to request a refund. Please note, refunds for change of mind incur a 20% back to shelf fee.

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your credit based on criteria below.

If you wish to return an item because you have changed your mind about your purchase, Birch Creative will offer you a refund provided that:

You notify us within 14 days of purchase and return the item;
You produce either your original receipt or other adequate proof of purchase;
AND the item is in re-saleable condition, meaning that:
- It is in its original packaging, including instruction manuals and all accessories; and
- It is unworn, unused, unassembled and in its original condition.
- The product is not one where a change of mind return is not available (see below).

If these requirements are not satisfied, Birch Creative reserves the right not to offer a refund for change of mind returns.
