You have the right to change your mind about a purchase within 14 days of the date of purchase.

If you are having trouble finding your order number you can call email us at thecrystalwillow@outlook.com. Following your email, we will contact you to discuss the procedure which will be as follows:

The item must be returned to us intact, with both product and packaging undamaged to be resold.

Please note that an item must be returned by the person who bought the item (the individual named on the invoice as the buyer, not the recipient), you cannot return an item on behalf of another person.
