Returns and exchanges
We hope you are happy with your order, but if there is a problem with it, here is the information to help you get a refund.
Order cancellation
To cancel your order please contact our team as soon as possible after placing your order. If we are yet to fulfil and ship your order, you will receive a full refund. If we have already shipped your order, you can return this to us on arrival with you. Please note that you will receive a refund on returning the item to us in saleable condition; however, postage is non-refundable.
Please see our delivery information page for our standard delivery times.
Orders that include print-on-demand items can only be cancelled within 24 hours of placing your order. After this deadline, we cannot guarantee that you will be eligible for a refund, as manufacture of the print may have begun. As custom prints are made to order they are ineligible for a refund unless we have made a mistake.
Returns policy
If for any reason you are unhappy with your order, we will happily refund or exchange within 28 days of purchase with a valid receipt.
Under the Distance Selling Regulations, if you buy merchandise online you are entitled to a full refund if you request one in writing within 14 working days of receiving your item. This includes any delivery charge but does not include the costs required for you to return the item.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer a refund on any earrings unless they are faulty. We also do not offer refunds on print on demand products, made-to-order customisable items or food products.
If there is a problem with your order or it has arrived damaged, please let us know as soon as possible via email bookshop@nationaltheatre.org.uk.
