SALES & REFUND POLICY
Why buy from Costello's?
Costello’s enjoys a wonderful reputation with a high repeat clientele, and its policy is to create and maintain customers rather than simply making a sale.
For in-store customers, Costello’s staff are eager to assist all of their customers with the purchase of a piece of jewellery but only after they have received a full education on the product. No pressure is placed on the customer to make a purchase and instead, the customer is encouraged to take their time in making a selection.
What guarantee do I get with my on-line purchase?
Costello’s sales policy is that if a client is not happy with the quality of the goods supplied, they can return the goods within 7 days for a full refund.
All goods sold by Costello’s come with a warranty against faulty workmanship only.
Our warranty does not cover any damage or misuse by the customer.
What does “sale or return” mean?
All goods sold online by Costello’s are on a sale or return basis. If the client is unhappy with their purchase, they can return the goods within 7 days for a full refund.
For purchases made in-store, the customer can exchange the product but cannot get a refund.
Can I return my online order?
Costello’s return policy allows you to return your purchase within 7 days after delivery for a full refund.
