Returns and Refunds Policy

Clear guidance on returning items, refunds, and what to do if goods arrive damaged or incorrect.

Returns - We do not accept returns unless an item is:

Faulty, or Not as specified in your original order. If you believe your product meets one of the above criteria, please contact us as soon as possible so we can assist you. For custom / bespoke, cancellations or non-fault returns are not accepted. These products are made to order and cannot be resold or repurposed. We strongly advise reviewing your order carefully before confirming it with Secure Cycle Store for processing.

Refunds

Once we receive your faulty or not as specified returned item, it will be inspected by our team. We will notify you when the item has been received and confirm whether your refund has been approved as soon as possible. If approved: Your refund will be issued to your original method of payment. Refund processing times vary depending on your payment provider.

This returns policy forms part of your contract with TCS. It explains your rights and our process for returning items, whether you have changed your mind or received a faulty, damaged, or incorrect product. Our aim is to make the process straightforward and transparent for every customer.

We sell household products, including compost bins, garden sheds, water butts, drying lines, wheelie bin stores, and waste water heat recovery systems and want you to be satisfied with your purchase.
