Returns Information
How much will it cost to return an item(s)?
We do not offer a free returns service so all returns should be sent via postal or courier services.
The price is dependent on the weight and size of goods. Please note, we do not charge delivery for any exchange items being sent out to you.
There is no need for you to organise a return for items that are defective or damaged and customers should follow the procedure laid out in our Returns & Refunds Policy.
Why do I have to pay to return an item?
This is because if LordandButler.com were to offer a free returns service we would have to increase our prices to absorb the costs. We believe in giving you the lowest possible prices.
If however, your item arrives faulty or damaged we can arrange for a replacement to be shipped directly at no cost to you and the faulty item collected.
Lord & Butler Model Railways cannot be held responsible for any administration or additional shipping costs associated with an incorrect order, unwanted items or items included on an order that is cancelled after the order is shipped.
How long do I have to return an item?
Cases where the item is not as expected or unwanted must be reported within 7 day period of the delivery date and returned correctly and in an unused and resalable condition within 28-days.
What happens if I receive a faulty item?
If an item is damaged, faulty or defective in any way then please attach relevant photographic evidence of the issue. Unfortunately, we cannot process any returns, exchanges or refunds without photographic evidence. If the item/s has a serious defect we will arrange to replace/refund the item, without question or prejudice.
However, Lord & Butler Model Railways retains the right to refund the value and cancel an order/transaction when this is deemed as the best solution to both or either party.
