Customers may return eligible products in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, provided that the products are returned within the prescribed timeframes (30 days) and are accompanied by valid proof of purchase.

Return requests must be submitted within the specified return period of 30 days, and certain items, including specially ordered or customised products, may not qualify for return unless defective.
