Returns and Refunds

Our policy lasts 30 days. If 30 days have gone by since your purchase, we can’t offer you a refund. 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. We only replace items if they are defective or damaged after we have received the item and verified its condition.
If you need to return an item, you must write an email to: returns@hotchocolatedesign.com
We will send you 2 labels:
1. An Amazon authorization label
2. A free Royal Mail prepaid return label
After that, you'll have to take your package to your local Post Office. Once we have received the item and verify its condition, we will refund your order.
REFUNDS (if applicable):
Once your return is received 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 refund.
