Royal Mail - we use Royal Mail Tracked 24 or Royal Mail Tracked 48 services on all parcels.

Royal Mail Tracked 24 aims to deliver next working day for orders placed before 1pm but it is not guaranteed.

Royal Mail Tracked 48 aims to deliver in 2/3 working days for orders placed before 1pm but it is not guaranteed.

Both services are fully tracked.

You are free to alter or cancel your order up to the point of dispatch with no penalty.

After the item has been dispatched a cancellation request will only be accepted via our returns procedure. Please wait for the goods to arrive with you before requesting a return.

Changes to delivery addresses are very difficult to manage once the courier has collected any parcel. USTUDIO cannot be held responsible for customer errors on shipping addresses. We will do our best but usually the delivery will be attempted to the address supplied and then returned to us on failure of delivery. We would then contact you with options for redelivery (there may be a surcharge for this.)

Our cut off for dispatch is 1pm every working day (not inc. Sat/Sun).

We want you to be completely happy with your purchase so if for any reason you are not satisfied, you may return the item for a refund.

Damaged or Faulty items may be returned FOC.

Returns for any other reason will incur a shipping surcharge.

Please follow these steps to return your order:

Please Click the following link which will take you to our online return form >>>

Damaged Items: take a photograph of the damage to the item and attach to upload section of the returns form (link above). Please quote your order number in all correspondence.

We will then advise on whether the item should be collected or a refund issued without collection of the damaged item.

Returns: if you wish to return an item please let us know using the returns form above. Again, please quote your order number in all correspondence. We will then give instruction on how to return the unwanted item and issue a returns label where applicable.

Please note that we are unable to offer free collection of unwanted items and it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure the safe return of the item before a refund is issued. Please reuse the original packaging and make sure the item is packed safely for transit.

During the returns procedure the customer will usually be supplied with a return label. The cost of this return will be deducted from any refund issued.

For most parcels the cost will be between £4 - £6 depending on size and weight.

We will advise you if the cost is likely to exceed this amount.

Note: that if a customer refuses to accept the goods from our nominated courier for any reason other than clear and obvious damage to the box or shipping container or product, or the customer does not provide the correct information necessary for delivery of the order and subsequently the products are returned to us, we reserve the right to charge a discretionary restocking fee of up to £10 per item.

To exchange a product you must return the unwanted item and purchase the item you would rather have as a new transaction. Once the returned item has arrived back at USTUDIO we will issue a refund.

Please Click the following link which will take you to our online return form >>>

If the exchange is down to a picking error or clear and obvious damage to the item we will send out the correct item free of charge. We will ask for you to return the item picked in error but at our expense and you will not have to wait for the return before being sent the correct item.

If you have been sent the wrong item by mistake, we will endeavour to sort this as quickly as possible.

When notified:

1. We will send a link to trigger a free return of the wrongly sent item. This will be via a collection where the driver will provide a label and collect from a place of your choice.
2. If we have the stock item that was originally requested, we will send out via a 24 hour service as soon as it is confirmed that a collection has been arranged for the wrongly sent item.
3. In a circumstance that we do not have the item that was ordered, we will refund the full amount including postage as soon as the incorrect item is returned to us.
