  • (if earlier), 14 days after the day you provide evidence to us that you have returned the goods; or

Please note that ML&S reserves the right to not process orders if the delivery point is not your billing address for your credit card, and delivery to an alternate address may need to be approved by your credit card company in some cases. For delivery to some countries payment is available only by way of wire transfer. Orders are typically processed when you send your information, so your credit card will be charged at that time: however, shipment cannot occur until the verification process is complete and all international paperwork approvals are done.

The verification process is required normally only for your initial order, after which you are entered into our customer database, however verification of your credit information may be requested upon subsequent orders. Use of credit card is contingent upon bank and security approvals. Security approvals for some international transactions by credit card may require a written authorisation from the issuing bank - extra fees will apply for this service.
