If an order is returned because of an incorrect address or repeated unsuccessful delivery attempts, we will contact you to discuss the available options.

Any additional shipping or redelivery charges will be communicated before they are applied, where applicable.

Nothing in this policy limits any consumer rights or remedies available under applicable law.
