Late Delivery:

• If your order arrives too late for your party or event, you can return it by following the normal returns procedure.
• If we were at fault we will refund your postage costs.
• No postage costs etc will be refunded if we were not at fault, if you chose the wrong delivery option i.e. Standard/First Class Delivery, when you should have used Express or Priority Delivery, you were not there to accept delivery, or you did not collect from the Delivery/Sorting Office or Post Office if your packge was waiting for you there.
• A restocking fee of 25% may be applied in these circumstances.
• If your order is late due to the failure of the carrier delivering within their guaranteed timescale  for your area and not the fault of either ourselves or yourself, we will refund the portion of the postage costs that the carrier refunds according to their carriage policy at the time of despatch. 

 

With all this in mind PLEASE order in plenty of time for your event. Of course here at Space Monkeys we will do everything we can to help with any problems that you may have but we cannot make up for the huge frustration and disappointment that either defects, breakages, late delivery or non-delivery may cause however much we sympathise and try to help.

This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.

Faulty Products

In the unlikely event that an item should be faulty or damaged, (all our items are inspected to make sure they are in perfect condition before shipping) you should let us know immediately (within 24 hours of receipt). We will then make arrangements with you to sort out the problem.

If your package appears to be damaged, please check the contents and refuse delivery so that the item can be returned to us and replaced free of charge.   Please ask the postie or courier to wait if necessary, if you need to check the contents for damage. If you accept or sign for a package that appears damaged, there is little we can do.
