Delivery and Returns

SUMMER CLOSURE

We are closed between Saturday 31st August and Sunday 8th September for a break. All orders received after 2pm on Friday 30th August wil be shipped once we re-open.

GENERAL

We seek to deliver orders in a secure manner and as promptly as is consistent with our commitment to individually test and prepare every razor so that our customers receive them in a “shave ready” condition. We do not usually ship on a Wednesday as we are busy with honing, website maintenance etc. but otherwise we ship every working day as follows. Orders which are for accessories only and which are received before midday (UK time) on a working day will usually be despatched the same day. Orders which include one or more razors will usually be despatched the next working day.

In the event that an item is out of stock or there is some other reason why there might be a delay, we will notify you by email of this.

Orders received over the weekend will be usually be despatched on the next working day if for accessories only, and on either the next working day or the day following if including a razor.

We will not process or despatch orders on weekends, UK bank holidays or other annual or occasional holidays which we will notify through the website.

PLEASE NOTE that we are unable to send bottles of aftershave or colognes over 150 ml to any overseas destination.

DELAYED OR LOST DELIVERIES

Although your order should arrive within the timescales stated above, there can be delays in the Royal Mail network, especially at busy times such as Christmas, during times of adverse weather conditions or strikes.

Please allow at least the time periods stated above before querying a delivery, particularly in the case of international deliveries, where extra delays can be caused by customs procedures in addition to those reasons mentioned above.

A lost parcel is a rare occurrence and typically an order that has not arrived in the time frames stated above usually arrives a few days later. If an order appears to be delayed please contact your local sorting office in the first instance to see if Royal Mail (or your local postal network provider) has attempted delivery and has not left a calling card.

If you have still not received your order then please contact us at adam@theinvisibleedge.co.uk.

RETURNS

We very much hope you will be pleased with your purchase from the Invisible Edge Ltd. However, if for any reason you wish to return goods, we are happy for you to do so, on the basis outlined below.

The first step is to notify us by email at adam@theinvisibleedge.co.uk You should please do this as soon as possible but in any event you must notify us within 14 days of receiving the goods. We will advise you how to return the goods to us. Returning the goods to us will be at your cost and risk. Provided the goods are returned in the same condition they were received, in their original packaging and are unused, we will be happy to refund the purchase price. For UK and EU deliveries we will also refund any delivery cost (but not any extra paid for an enhanced delivery service).

Please note that we cannot accept returns of goods which are “special orders” (i.e. the goods have been made specifically to the customer’s requirements).

For deliveries outside the EU we will charge (a) a restocking charge of 10% of the amount paid to cover administrative and postage costs plus (b) all actual customs and handling charges we incur as a result of it being returned.

Please ensure that the delivery address in your PayPal account is correct. Where a customer has supplied us with an incorrect address we will not be able to make any refund until the goods have been returned to us and will then have to charge for re-posting.

FAULTY GOODS

In the unlikely event that the goods you receive are defective, then please email us at adam@theinvisibleedge.co.uk You should please do this as soon as possible but for any defect which is evident from inspecting the goods you must notify us within 14 days of receiving the goods.

Please note that we cannot accept returns of goods which are “special orders” (i.e. the goods have been made specifically to the customer’s requirements).

PLEASE NOTE that the manufacture of the razors, and many of the accessories, we sell involves manual processes by skilled but fallible craftsmen. While you may return them under our returns policy above, we will not accept a claim that a razor is faulty as a result only of a wide/uneven bevel, hone wear or some minor blemish or variation in finish. In particular, all razor scales made from natural materials may vary significantly in colouring and figuring/grain.

CANCELLATION BEFORE DELIVERY

If you wish to cancel an order for any reason before we have sent it out then you may do so. Again please email us at adam@theinvisibleedge.co.uk.

Please note that we cannot accept returns of goods which are “special orders” (i.e. the goods have been made specifically to the customer’s requirements).

We reserve the right to cancel an order where we are or become aware that it has been placed by a minor.

Nothing in this policy shall operate to affect your statutory rights.
