Faulty or Damaged Items 


We are very disappointed on the rare occasions our customers receive a faulty product. If you have identified the fault within 30 days of purchase, please apply for a return via our online returns portal, choosing the reason “damaged” from the drop down menu, followed by emailing us photo(s) of the damaged item(s) for our review. Once the return has been approved, you will receive a pre-paid shipping label from us via email, and this can also be downloaded from the returns portal. 
 




Please take extra care to read our Product Care instructions included with your order and our care FAQ's here. We hand design each stem to make them as realistic as possible and some small variances from piece to piece are what gives our flowers their natural and organic look. Our stems are made with high quality wiring which is designed to be bent or manipulated to your preferred shape. Some of your stems may be packed with bent stems, this is not a fault. 

International Returns 


We appreciate the inconvenience of an international return. Following Brexit, it is vital to mark your return as “British Returned Goods” on the exterior of the parcel so that exemption from return import duties and taxes is applied. If not, any import duties and/or taxes we incur on return shipments will be deducted from any amounts due for refund to you. We cannot be responsible for goods held by customs or lost in transit. 

Do email us on hello@thefauxflowercompany.com for any further assistance on international returns.
