Returns Policy

Dispatched orders cannot be refunded without the items being returned to us in a sellable condition. The items but be unused, unwashed and in the same condition they were when we sent them to you.

 

If you have purchased items before the birth of your baby, please contact us for returns information as soon as possible.

​

The Baby Tribe tries to keep costs down for you, so we subsidize postage for you to the rate of either £2.75 or £3.25 depending on the service you choose at check out. Please note that if you cancel your order because you have changed your mind, we will deduct the full cost of postage from your refund, including any fees that TBT may have incurred from your order.

​

​

30 Day Right to Reject

If you discover a fault with your product within 30 days of delivery, please contact us immediately. We will need you to send us the product back. Your postage will be refunded upon receipt of the product. You are entitled to a full refund if you do not want a replacement product within 30 days. For products returned after 30 days, a refund it not legally required. Please contact us as soon as you find a fault for us to sort it out.

 

The following (and not limited to) are not classed as manufacturing faults and therefore you are not entitled to a refund for:

  • Wear and tear

  • Incorrect care- including washing, drying and storing

 

​

From 30 days to 6 months after delivery

If you discover a manufacturing fault within 6 months, it is up to you to prove the fault was not present at time of delivery.

Items will need to be returned to the manufacturer to be examined to check for manufacturing faults. They will then inform us if the issue is down to a fault or caused through wear & tear or incorrect use.

You will need to provide details on how you have used and cared for the product.

​

If a manufacturing fault is found, we will arrange for a repair or a replacement with the manufacturer for you.

If a repair or replacement is not possible or the attempt at repair fails or the first replacement also turns out to be defective, you also have a further right to reject the goods for a full or partial refund. No deductions can be made from a refund in the first 6 months following an unsuccessful attempt at repair or replacement.

If the repair is unsuccessful, not possible or cannot be replaced, you have the right to reject the item for a refund. If the repair fails after 6 months, refunds will be processed on a pro rata basis based on the time of use. This is calculated based on the length of time a product is expected to last for example: a birth to potty nappy is 24 months, a size 1 nappy is 9 months, a size 2 nappy 15 months.

​

After 6 months from delivery

It is up to you to prove the fault was not present at time of delivery. This may require an expert opinion. After 6 months then a pro rata deduction will be made to account for proportional use of the item.

The customer has to prove the item was faulty at point of delivery, this may require an expert opinion. After 6 months refunds will be processed on a pro rata basis based on the time of use. This is calculated based on the length of time a product is expected to last for example: a birth to potty nappy is 24 months, a size 1 nappy is 9 months, a size 2 nappy 15 months. If a size 2 nappy develops a fault at 9 months, the pro rata refund would be calculated by: purchase price divided by 15 months, times 6 months of lost use. Items being partially refunded will still need to be returned- (£12.99/15) x6= £5.19.

 

 

 

I have changed my mind. What do I do?

Products can be returned, if unused, unwashed and in fully re-saleable condition, within 14 days of delivery. If you wish to return something beyond this time, please contact us.

If you have washed your item but have changed your mind, you can try using our community Facebook sales page.

​

We will refund you the cost of the product, but you must pay for the cost of returning the goods to us and postage and packing charges if applicable. We strongly suggest that you get a ‘certificate of posting’ from your post office (free of charge) so that you can claim compensation from Royal Mail should the parcel not reach us.

​

If the goods have a retail value of more than £20.00 you will need to use a Royal Mail service that includes additional insurance to cover your goods should they go missing on route to us. We will not cover any losses to due post.
