All items can be returned however if we are selling sale items due to a fault, you are buying this clearly aware that this fault exists and cannot message us later claiming the item is faulty.

We only replace items if they are defective or damaged. Otherwise, if the item is just the wrong size, please reorder the correct size and we will post out to you. This allows for us to maintain more accurate stock through our system. For the item you wish to return, please go through the return policy above.

Please ask the gift giver to return the item as unfortunately we are unable to offer returns that have not been made via the purchaser.
Faulty Items
Please note all items are inspected prior to sending out but on some occasions something might slip through the net. We ask that you check all items as soon as they arrive so we can replace any faults immediately.
If you can prove the item was faulty when it was purchased then we are happy to investigate with the manufacturer and supplier if this can be repaired or exchanged. Newly received items will be exchanged if stock is available. If no stock available we will refund you. You have 6 months in which to say something was faulty however if time has passed we may only be able to offer a repair and not a replacement:
- An item is not faulty if the fault was caused due to accident or user misuse or due to natural life cycle of the product.
- There should be clear evidence that the item has not been misused and that it was faulty at time of purchase.
- Many of our items come with suggestions about how to use properly, if these guidance notes are not followed, the item may become damaged but was not faulty at time of sale.
- Swords should retain a level of oil on the blade and away from moisture to avoid rust.
- Shoes that are bought to then stretch, are unable to be returned due to the stretching causing the default.
- Using a rear lace loop to pull shoes onto the foot is not a fault. But if the shoe is unworn we can clearly see this would have been a fault.
- All items will be examined on return to check for misuse, accidental damage and compared to the product going out of the shop at time of ordering.
- We will request some level of confirmation/proof that you purchased the item from Highland Dance Shop.
- To notify us of a faulty item, contact us as soon as the fault happens and immediately stop using the product. Email staff@highddanceshop.com and request a return.
- All faulty item returns should be paid for by the purchaser, and if on inspection the item does appear to be faulty we will refund that postage. If the item is not deemed to be faulty we will contact you to discuss further options.
