Returns Policy

Returns

We have a ‘no-quibble’ guarantee which means that if you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason you can, of course, return it. If you’ve changed your mind (which is fair enough) you must return it to us unused and in its original condition within 28 days for an exchange or refund. You will be responsible for the cost of returning unwanted goods.

If you no longer have your invoice please email help@diecastlegends.com. This must be within 28 days of receipt of goods.

For goods returned from outside mainland UK and the Channel Islands the following must be written legibly on both the packaging and customs declaration. 'MAIL ORDER GOODS RETURNED FOR EXCHANGE - DO NOT CHARGE DUTY'. It is mandatory to contact our returns department before returning any goods to us.

Please make sure the item is returned protected during transit with outer packaging similar to that with which it was sent. All items being returned for exchange / refund must reach us in a re-saleable condition which includes their immediate outer packaging.
