CANCELLATIONS & RETURNS
Online purchases
Returns for refund or exchange are only accepted if the carrier or accessory is in new, perfect condition, unused, unwashed, in all original intact packaging and everything that came with it. You are not purchasing on a 'Try Before You Buy' basis so if the item has been opened and used you are deemed to have accepted the goods and not be eligible for a refund. We recommend trying one out first at Carry My Baby, at your local sling library, with a babywearing consultant, or by any other means!
If upon placing your order you change your mind you have the right to cancel your order from that moment until 14 days after receiving it. If upon receiving your carrier or accessory you decide it is not for you, it is faulty, or not as described, please email info@carrymybaby.co.uk to notify us of your wish to return. This must be within 14 days of receiving the item. You have a further 14 days to return the item.
You are responsible for return postage costs unless the item is faulty. We recommend you send it insured or tracked to cover you in the event that is does not make its way back safely.
If these conditions are satisfied then I will be able to give you a full refund. If you paid to have your order sent via Royal Mail First Class or Special Delivery or to be shipped Internationally your original postage costs will not be refunded.
When we receive your returned goods we will inspect them, and if acceptable with no marks, hairs, fluff, odours or signs of use then a full refund will be processed within 7 days. You will be refunded by the payment method used.
A deduction can be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of the goods being handled beyond what was necessary to determine their suitability or if any of the above described is evident. In this case it cannot be resold as new. Handling of the goods should be no more than if you were assessing them in a shop.
EXCHANGES
We accept returns to be exchanged for an alternative carrier. Once your order is returned to us and is in an acceptable condition for a full refund we will then dispatch your replacement. If you would like a faster turnaround you may wish to order your replacement online separately so we can dispatch it straightaway, before waiting for your return to arrive and be processed.

AFTER SALES SUPPORT
It can take time and practice when using a carrier the first few times. We are experienced in using all the carriers we stock, in fitting them to different aged babies and to different parents.
It is normal if your baby does not immediately settle in a sling, or if you have caught them at a moment they are hungry or tired. If your baby does not settle in the carrier then relax and take your time with it, perhaps getting it on in stages while you continue to support them in arms, or try again later. It may not feel right straight away while you learn how to fit to you and your baby most comfortably. We encourage you to contact us if you would like a fit check or support in using your carrier correctly, safely and comfortably or need tips on adjusting and fitting. Often small tweaks can make the biggest difference in comfort, ease of use, and your baby feeling happy in it.
If you wish to try before you buy please arrange a postal hire with us where you can use the carrier as much as you wish to determine suitability before purchasing your own. Alternatively you may seek the services of a local sling library or babywearing consultant to try out different options and learn how to use them. We offer these services locally in Leicester so you can be sure about your purchase.
Please contact us at info@carrymybaby.co.uk to advise us if you wish to return an item.
All the above is in accordance with your rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 that came into force in June 2014.
