We understand that when you Shop Online, things can go wrong. You might need a different size, or the colour may not be as expected - you may even have just changed your mind. Our Returns & Exchanges Policy is designed to give you the flexibility that you need.

Returns Policy

• If you Return your item(s) to us within 3 Months of receipt, in unsoiled, undamaged and unused condition, we will happily Refund or Exchange them for you. This includes all tags still being attached and returned in the product packaging in which the items were sent out in. Please do not apply postal stickers directly on to the product packaging. E.g, footwear boxes, rug bags etc. In the event of these terms not being adhered to, we may be forced to deduct from your refund.

• Refunds within the statutory period are made in line with the Consumer Contract Regulations.

• Please send all Returns to: Returns Dept, Hope Valley Saddlery, Rockhead House, Staden Lane, Buxton, SK17 9RZ. It is essential that you include a covering note with your parcel, telling us:

• Your Original Order Number,
• Your Name and Contact Phone Number,
• Whether you would like a Refund or an Exchange (and what you might require in exchange).

• We strongly advise customers to obtain proof of postage from the Post Office, as in the extremely unlikely event of the item(s) not reaching us, this would be required in order for you to claim compensation. RETURN COSTS WILL BE COVERED BY THE BUYER.

• Exchanges are subject to stock availability. Please check our website for up to date stock.

• For Exchanges, please forward a cheque payable to "Hope Valley Limited" to cover the new Outbound postage. If you prefer, we can contact you by phone to take payment for this by a debit or credit card. The cost will usually be the rate of the Original Postage Cost (items originally sent postage free excepted). Please E-Mail returns@hopevalleysaddlery.co.uk if you have any queries regarding exchange postage costs. Payment of a standard delivery charge of £4.99 will be required to send you your replacement item(s).

• If you think you have received an incorrect item, faulty item or have items missing from your delivery, please contact us by E-Mailing returns@hopevalleysaddlery.co.uk . In regards to incorrect/missing items, this needs to be within 3 days of receipt of delivery. We will then be able to advise on the best way to proceed. Usually, this will involve the item being returned to our Returns Department for Inspection and verification of the fault prior to dispatching any replacements or issuing any refund. We may be able to provide a Freepost label so that there is no cost of this return. However as this is not always the case, please contact us prior to making any Return. We regret that we are unable to issue any replacements or refunds until we have verified the fault.

• Please do not return any incorrect/faulty items without having contacted us first on returns@hopevalleysaddlery.co.uk We know dealing with a faulty item can be an annoying inconvenience for you, so please be assured that our team are here to help you and always aim to resolve issues as quickly and easily as we can. Often the judgement of faulty items lies with the supplier/manufacturer, so time must be allowed for their assessment and report so we can then move forward and resolve the issue.

• Where incorrect or faulty items are verified, Hope Valley Saddlery will usually provide a FREEPOST label via e-mail to cover the costs of the return postage (via Royal Mail). We will also cover outbound postage costs of any replacement goods required. Where the FREEPOST label is not applicable, any return postage costs will need to be agreed beforehand with our Returns Department to ensure this will be reimbursed. You must obtain proof of postage.
