To cancel an order please email us at hello@youbarista.co.uk and return it to: You Barista Limited, 38 Manordene Close, Thames Ditton, Surrey, KT7 0DZ, United Kingdom.

Please make the heading of your email title as follows:

ORDER RETURN REQUEST - [Insert Order ID Here]

RESTOCKING

If you return a coffee machine or coffee grinder, the device must be completely unused without exception. Any use of either a grinder or espresso machine will result in the return being invalid and subsequently refused. The only exception to this rule, is if you are returning it due to the equipment not working properly and you have agreed in advance with You Barista Limited that you are returning it for this reason.

REFUNDS

The full refund will be issued within 30 days of us receiving the product(s), unused, in their original packaging and in a perfect resalable condition. Your refund will include the initial postage and packaging costs you paid when making your purchase.

Refunds will only ever be made to the card or PayPal account used to make the initial online payment.

CONDITION OF GOODS

For us to process refunds or swap out any goods for replacements, we must receive the goods back in the agreed condition first before we process either a refund or ship you a replacement. This means that we must wait for the associated courier to arrange collection of the goods, which can sometimes take some time. This is out with our control, and returns of any reason are subject to you agreeing to this section of the terms.

FAULTY GOODS

If you wish to return a product because it is defective, you may do so up to 14 days after you receive the product(s). Once the product(s) have been returned to You Barista Limited they will be checked for faults. In the case of defective products we will offer either a full refund, including any costs you incurred sending it back to us, or we will send you a replacement product.

If the goods generate a fault within the warranty period, we will attempt to resolve the issue for you. If we can do so within 14 days, you accept that the goods are in working order and the sale will stand. If the goods are deemed defective within this period, you are required to return the goods to us to be checked and returned to the manufacturer and we will provide you with a full refund within 14 days of receiving the goods back..

RETURNING GOODS

You Barista Ltd aims to always provide high quality Goods that are fault free and undamaged. On occasion however, Goods supplied by us may need to be returned and such returns are governed by these Terms and Conditions. As a consumer, you will always have legal rights in relation to goods that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by the returns policy in this clause. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

If you need to return goods for any reason, please contact us first to agree on how this is to be handled before shipping anything to us, to avoid any confusion. In some cases we will arrange for our courier to collect from you. On other occasions we will ask you to post back the item via standard UK mail with Royal Mail.

If you are requested to ship any goods back to us yourself by Royal Mail, you must get proof of postage from the post office.  This allows you and us to both track the parcel and if necessary, claim on insurance should there be any damage or loss. If you ship products back to us without getting proof of postage, your refund will be invalidated.

BREAKAGES AND REPLACEMENTS

If you are a domestic buyer and receive any cups or saucers which have been damaged during shipping and delivery, please send a photo of the damage to hello@youbarista.co.uk and we will offer a replacement or refund at our discretion.

CHOICE OF COURIER

If you are shipping fragile goods such as porcelain or glass, you must return the goods to us via the same courier service that was used to send you the goods upon ordering. This is because certain goods are liable to damage if shipped with the cheapest courier option. For example, shipping porcelain with Royal Mail will result in breakages, but with a dedicated courier they are much more likely to reach us without being damaged.

You can, if you wish, ship the items back to us yourself with whatever method you prefer, but if you choose to do so, you are much more likely to experience damage and costs to your order, so we strongly recommend not doing this.  The best and safest option, is to request that we arrange the collection and shipping of your goods back to us. We can do this with either Parcelforce, DPD or FedEx, but not Royal Mail.

LIABILITY:

Regardless of the method you choose to return your goods, you are liable for the condition of the goods until they reach us safely and in perfect condition. If the products or product packaging are not in perfect condition, the product(s) may be refused as a return or be liable for a restocking fee, as this will reduce the value of the goods and the sell on value of any such product(s).

CANCELLATION BY YOU BARISTA LIMITED:

In the unlikely event that we cannot fulfil your order, we will inform you as soon as we can (usually within 3 working days) and issue a full refund. There are events that may cause this, such as us finding damaged or faulty stock items we do not wish to send you, or errors on our system that result in inventory shortages.

PAYMENT

Payments from UK and other European customers can be made by debit card, credit card or PayPal. International customers can also use the same payment methods, however if you are purchasing items above the value of £250 (Including shipping) out with the UK, you are required to choose the payment option of 'Bank Transfer' to complete your purchase. Once we receive your order, we will send you an invoice with International banking details for processing the funds.

If you are an International customer and do purchase something over £250 in value by either card or PayPal, we will email you informing you that we have cancelled your order and processed you a refund. 

PRODUCTS UNDER WARRANTY

Some of our products are covered by the 1 year ‘back-to-base’ You Barista Warranty (this is specified in the individual Product Descriptions on the website). Below are details of how this warranty works:

LENGTH OF WARRANTY

The warranty is valid for one calendar year from the date you receive the product.

WARRANTY DETAILS

Our ‘back-to-base’ warranty means that should a product become defective or faulty during the warranty period – you can send it back to us, where we will undertake a repair and then ship it back to you. It is your responsibility to pay the costs of sending the product(s) to us for repair and we will pay for the shipment back to your chosen address.

Because the product is under warranty, You Barista Limited will cover the costs of both parts and labour.

The warranty does not cover:
• general wear and tear
• damage due to modification or misuse of the product
• damage caused by the build-up of limescale
• damage caused by accident

The warranty is also subject to you following the instructions for use and maintenance guidelines supplied by the manufacturer.

If you are buying espresso coffee machines or grinders from outside of the UK, we do not offer our standard back to base warranty due to the high costs of shipping. If you are buying any of these items, you do so without the traditional guarantee of warranty (parts or labour) from You Barista Limited. Your support is managed by us sending you the parts by courier, and then advising you how to safely fit them over video call.

Please note: If items are damaged in transit, standard insurance terms will apply.

TIMINGS

You must notify us of the fault or defect by email (hello@youbarista.co.uk) as soon as you are aware of the problem. We normally complete any repairs within 30 days of receiving the equipment from you.

PAYMENT

All our prices include VAT. We take payment in pounds sterling (GBP) via debit and credit cards, or PayPal at the point when you complete our online checkout.

If you are buying either espresso coffee machines or coffee grinders from outside of the UK, we only accept payment via bank transfer - not credit card. If you attempt to pay with card, we will contact you and process a refund.

DISPATCH AND DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS:

Products are normally dispatched within 48 hours of you placing your order online. However, this may be subject to change during UK Bank Holidays.

Products are normally delivered within 2-5 working days to destinations on the UK mainland, and within 3-10 working days to other European countries. We do our best to get our product to our customers quickly, but we do use third parties to deliver our products and therefore these timings are estimates.

For more information on delivery of goods – please see our Shipping Information.

UK ADDRESSES NOT ON MAINLAND OR IN REMOTE LOCATIONS

Shipping costs for UK addresses which are not on the UK mainland or are in remote parts of the Scottish Highlands are billed at a different rate. Customers based in these areas must contact You Barista Limited at hello@youbarista.co.uk for a quote for shipping and delivery of product(s).

IMPORT DUTY AND ADDRESSES OUTSIDE OF THE UK

Please note that as a customer, you are responsible for payment of any import duties or taxes incurred when we ship products outside of the UK.
