RETURN & REFUND POLICY

1. 14-Day Return Period (UK & International Orders)

You have the right to request a return within 14 days of receiving your order.

To be eligible for a return:

  • The item must be unused, unopened and in the same condition that you received it.

  • Apparel must be unworn, unwashed and with original tags attached.

  • Items must be in original packaging.

  • You must provide proof of purchase (order number or receipt).

To request a return, you must contact us first at:

orders@alphaneontm.com

Returns sent without prior authorisation will not be accepted.


2. Exchanges

We do offer exchanges.

To request an exchange:

  • You must include your order number.

  • You must clearly state which item you would like in exchange.

  • You must include written confirmation inside the returned parcel stating your order number and the requested exchange item.

Customers are responsible for arranging and paying for their own return shipping using a suitable, tracked shipping method.

We recommend using a tracked and insured service, as we cannot accept responsibility for items lost in transit back to us.

Once we receive and inspect the returned item and confirm it meets our return criteria, we will dispatch the replacement item.

If the exchanged item is of higher value, you will be required to pay the price difference before dispatch.
If it is of lower value, we will refund the difference.


3. Consumer Rights – Faulty or Incorrect Items

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, you are entitled to a refund, repair or replacement if goods are:

  • Faulty

  • Not as described

  • Not fit for purpose

If your item is damaged, defective, or incorrect, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos and your order number.

Where a fault is confirmed:

This is in accordance with Regulation 28 of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
