The onus is on the Buyer to ensure that Goods are properly returned; the Company recommends that Buyers use the original outer packaging for the return of the Goods and that Buyers utilise a service for returns which requires the addressee's signature, as the Company cannot accept any responsibility for any damaged, lost or non-delivered Goods or for the late return of any Goods.

No delivery or collection charges are payable with respect to sample orders or sizing set orders, but since a Buyer is limited to receiving and returning one sample order or one sizing set order per style of garment requested by the Buyer, any additional order from the Buyer for the same style of garment will be treated by the Company as an order for the corresponding Goods, with deliveries and collections being charged to the Buyer at the Company's usual carriage rates and with return(s) incurring a 10% discretionary handling charge. The free collection service is not applicable during special promotional periods or on any work wear items.
13.5. Return of Goods for embroidery.

All name labels must be firmly affixed to the corresponding garments as the Company will not embroider any garment which is returned without an affixed name label . Garments which do not fit the appropriate individuals will need to be exchanged by the Company prior to embroidering. When returning any such garments to the Company, the Buyer must not affix any name labels thereto . All garments being returned for embroidery or exchange, as applicable, must be returned according to the timeliness and garment care criteria for Goods stipulated in Condition 13.3 in order for the appropriate invoices to be credited. Please note that any garment which has been embroidered may not be returned. A delivery of Goods which have been embroidered by the Company will be FOC on orders over £350 (ex VAT) but any request by the Buyer for Goods to be exchanged prior to their being embroidered by the Company will incur delivery, collection and handling charges at the Company's usual rates. In order to avoid incurring significant repeat carriage and handling costs and to be able to take advantage of free delivery on larger orders, Buyers should try to arrange for the same-time delivery/collection of garments for as many of their intended wearers as possible and should not request embroidery until satisfied that all garments fit their respective wearers. Prices for the embroidery of tailored orders are obtainable from Customer Services subject always to the provisions of Condition 7.1.
