1. Return of the goods – the cost of delivery charged to you.
2. Refund – the invoice cost less any applicable delivery and collection charges provided the product is ‘as new’ and complete with all accessories in its original box and packaging.

Recycling electrical and electronic products - what you need to know
On 1 July 2007, new government regulations called the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations came into force to encourage people to arrange collection or recycling of old electrical products, rather than throwing them away.
Why should waste electrical goods be recycled?
Recycling unwanted electrical products is better for the environment. The amount of electrical waste, from hairdryers to washing machines, that is thrown away is increasing by around 5% each year.
Over 75% of waste electrical goods end up in landfill, where lead and other toxins contained in electrical goods can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a very harmful effect on the natural habitat, wildlife and also human health. When situated near populated areas these toxins can cause problems to communities as their water and soil is polluted.
Many of the electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save natural resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending waste electrical goods to landfill.
How can I recycle my old electrical and electronic products?
We offer free in store take back so you are able to bring your old sewing machine back to us providing you are buying a new one from us (like for like). It doesn't matter if you didn't purchase the original machine from us we will still take it back. Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item.
How will I know whether the new products I buy can be recycled?
All new electrical and electronic products sold now carry the ‘crossed out wheelie bin’ logo to help you identify which products are recyclable.
You do not need to have purchased new equipment to be able to recycle your old appliances.

What if my machine is coming via Home Delivery, will I still get free collection of my old WEEE item?
Unfortunately we can not offer free collection on Home Delivery products. (Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item.)
