Refunds & Returns Policy

60 Day Returns Policy

We know you are leading a busy life and how fast the time can go, and so we have extended our standard returns policy from 14 days to a generous 60 days.

If your purchase does not meet your expectations simply return it to us unused and in its original condition and packaging, including any labels which must remain attached, within 60 days of receipt.

Please note that the conditions 'unused and in its original packaging, with labels attached' is a requirement of our returns policy, we will not accept returns that are returned in any other condition. We will then either exchange it or offer you a refund, whichever you prefer.

The cost of returning any item is at the Customer's own expense. The only exception to this is if the item is faulty or was sent by us in error.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging for resale, which must not be used as the outer packaging for your mailing purposes.

Several types of goods are exempt from being returned:

• Magazines
• Earrings (or other piercings)
• Gift cards
• Custom or made-to-order items

In all cases (apart from faulty or damaged goods) if a free shipping offer was availed of for the initial purchase we cannot ship the exchange for free as well. We will charge you for the full shipping price and will contact you about that to arrange payment. 

Returns must be notified to us in advance via email, with the explanation of the reason for the return. Do not send goods without our prior knowledge. If bought in store, we require a receipt as proof of purchase and will not accept a return without a receipt.  

Please do not send your purchase back to the manufacturer.

There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted (if applicable)

1. Book with obvious signs of use

2. Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts or packaging for reasons not due to our error

Receiving Your Refund

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.

If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within 7 days.

Late or Missing Refunds

If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again.

Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted.

Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted.

If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us at hello@lifestoryshop.com.

Gifts

If the item was marked as a gift when purchased and shipped directly to you, you’ll receive a gift credit for the value of your return. Once the returned item is received, a gift certificate will be mailed to you.

Note that shipping costs that you may have paid when purchasing your items are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of that shipping will be deducted from your refund.

It is important that you return all parts of the item and all packaging, which must be intact and in re-saleable condition. Do not use the product packaging as the outer packaging and this will render it damaged and unsuitable for resale.

We always recommend you obtain proof of purchase and we do not take any responsibility for the item while it is in transit. We cannot guarantee that we will receive your returned item.

If you are shipping a high value item, you should consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance.

Faulty Goods

Our faulty goods policy lasts 60 days. Please contact us via email with details of the fault (you might find that a photograph or short video clip is the best way to demonstrate it) within 60 days.

If 60 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange for faulty goods. Note that some of our products are an exception to this and offer a 2-10 year policy e.g. Secrid wallets, Rains backpacks, selected furniture and more, please contact us for specifics.
