BFPO & Military camps:
We are currently trialling a new system to send to BFPO addresses. With it being a new system, plus the added admin required please allow a few more working days for processing in addition to the normal timeline explained above. When entering your BFPO address, please ensure all available fields are completed with as much information as possible to increase the chances of it arriving. We still suggest you get it sent to a UK address for forwarding or when you return. Any additional fees incurred for customs or taxes will be the responsibility of the customer. Military camps we ship to, however, this is done at your own risk due to the unreliability of the MOD mailing systems. If your order is returned to us we will resend it to a UK address but may ask for an additional postage fee to help cover the forwarding cost.
Returns:
If you would like to return an item* please return it to the return address located below. We request that you include a note within the package stating your order number and reason for return. Without this, the return and any refund may be delayed. It is also requested and recommended that you send an email to [email protected] with the same information.
*PLEASE NOTE: Due to Silkies being sold to be worn without underwear for hygiene reasons we cannot accept exchanges. If you are unhappy with your silkies please email the above email address as faulty or damaged goods will still be refunded or replaced as per our policy.
We recommend that all returns are sent TRACKED but NOT signed for postage, in packaging that is equivalent to or better than the packaging the item arrived to you in. If the item arrived with any specific packaging or attached labels these must be returned attached or this may affect your refund options. Any free gift in the order you are welcome to keep.
Damaged or faulty goods:
If an item arrives damaged or faulty, please email [email protected] with photos of the issue. We will then offer a refund or replacement if the stock is available. Depending on the fault the item may be requested to be returned. If this is the case it will be done so at the cost of GTC and not the customer, if the item is not requested then the customer is asked to recycle or reuse it however possible to reduce the further impact on the earth.
Exchanges of size:
The following exchange process does NOT include silkies. As silkies are sold to be worn without underwear they are not accepted as an exchange once they leave GTC for hygiene reasons.
Due to the speed our stock sells out exchanges of size are not always possible. If the replacement size is not available then we would refund the order at the price paid when the above return procedure is followed.
If you would like to exchange sizes (NOT INCLUDING SILKIES) within 30 days of purchasing. Please email [email protected] with your order number and the items you would like to exchange including the sizes. BEFORE you return the item. If the requested new size is available then the team will reserve that item for up to 5 working days. They will then reply to your email to confirm and request you follow the return procedure above. On the note please reference you want to exchange sizes as this could help reduce delays in processing. As soon as the item is received and checked by the team the new size will be sent out. The tracking information for the replacement order will be emailed to the email used to contact GTC. (Please check junk/spam for replies).
PLEASE NOTE:
If you would like to exchange an item due to size after the 30 days then please email above and we will treat every situation case by case.
If your requested new size is not in stock then we will advise you to follow the above return information for a refund and advise you when a restock is expected for you to re-purchase.
