Refund Policy.

How refunds work at BDS — for cancellations, failed collections, delayed shipments, lost or damaged parcels, and returned consignments.

"A full refund will be issued for orders that are cancelled prior to collection." To cancel, customers must call during specified business hours: Monday-Friday 9:00am – 5:30pm, Saturdays 10:00am – 3:00pm.

Failed collections do not qualify for refunds. If a parcel isn't picked up during the pre-requested window, customers should contact the company to arrange a new collection time.

Since transit times aren't guaranteed, delayed shipments won't be refunded. "A money-back guarantee may be offered by the carrier in cases of negligence but this is wholly at the carrier's discretion."

For lost or damaged parcels, "up to 100% of your carriage costs will be refunded, provided your claim is accepted by the carrier." A specific caveat applies: "TNT claims for damage will only be accepted if the parcel is signed for as damaged upon delivery." Additional content cover can be purchased at the time of booking.

If a parcel is returned without leaving the UK due to "insufficient packaging, incorrect documentation or prohibited items," the customer is liable for UK carriage costs and receives only a partial refund covering the overseas carriage portion.

A special exception exists for UPS shipments: if the parcel is returned without leaving the UK because it failed an x-ray screening (deemed "too dense for X-ray"), a full refund will be issued.
