14. Return Abuse

 In the interest of protecting Base London and offering our customers the best service possible, a £10 restocking fee will be deducted from the refund of customers we feel are exploiting or abusing our free UK returns service. Returning what Base London deems to be an excessive amount of orders (far more than would be normal from one of our genuine customers), or wearing the product and then returning via our pre-paid Collect+ service, may result in future orders being blocked from dispatch.

We continue to offer all our valued customers Free UK returns and we apologise for any inconvenience this policy may cause, but we wouldn’t want the few to spoil the Base London shopping experience for the many. We hope you understand.

Exceptions:

 Any faulty or incorrect goods can of course be returned to us free of charge.

 If you feel there are extenuating circumstances regarding your order which make you exempt from this policy or have any questions regarding your return, please get in touch with our support team and we’ll be happy to help - [email protected]

 Our customers will always be our first priority and Base London will not allow return abuse to spoil your experience shopping online with us.

15. Abusive behaviour

We do not tolerate any abuse, physical, verbal or mental, of our staff. This includes, but is not limited to aggressive language via phone or email when conversing with customer service agents. Persons conducting such behaviour may be subject to a temporary or permanent ban on ordering products from the Baselondon.com website depending on the severity.
