Returns and refunds

Last updated 1 November 2026

We're a small family business and every piece is made by hand, so we look after each order closely. If something isn't right, tell us and we'll put it right.

This page sets out your rights when you buy from nyoki.co.uk, and how returns work. Nothing here takes away your legal rights.

Changing your mind

You can cancel your order for any reason, without giving one, within 14 days, starting the day after it arrives - with you, or with the person you sent it to. If an order comes in more than one parcel, the 14 days start the day after the last one arrives. You can also cancel at any time before it arrives.

To cancel, email us at support@nyoki.co.uk or write through our Contact page, with your order number (it starts NYK-). A clear message is all we need; you can use the cancellation form below if you like, but you don't have to.

Then send it back within 14 days of telling us.

Pieces in a sale can be returned just as any other. The one exception is a personalised piece, which comes next.

Personalised pieces

A piece personalised for you - a card with your own message printed inside, or a name, initials or anything else you chose for it - can't be returned because you've changed your mind. We made it for you, and we can't sell it to anyone else. The law allows this, and we say so on the piece before you buy it.

This doesn't touch your rights if it arrives faulty, damaged or different from what you ordered, including a mistake of ours in the words - see Faulty, damaged or not as described.

Some pieces are made to order: we make them once you've ordered. A piece made to order in a size, colour or pack we offer, exactly as it is on the shop, is not personalised, and it can be returned like anything else.

If you change your mind about a personalised piece, tell us as soon as you can: if we haven't started making it, we'll cancel it and refund you in full.

Sending it back

Unless the piece is faulty or not what you ordered, you pay for sending it back. We suggest a tracked service, and please keep your proof of postage: it's what shows you sent it if the parcel goes astray.

Send it to Nyoki Limited, Unit 302, 3A Howick Place, London SW1P 1WG, with a note of your order number. Pack it well, so it reaches us as it left us.

You're welcome to look a piece over as you would in a shop: try clothes on, open the packaging. Please send clothes back unworn and unwashed, with any labels still on, and cards unwritten. If a piece has been used or handled more than that, we may take something off the refund for the value it has lost. We won't refuse the return.

Your refund

We refund the price of what you send back, and what you paid for delivery - up to the cost of the least expensive delivery we offer. Royal Mail Tracked 48 is free, so if you chose a faster way, the extra isn't refunded. Delivery is refunded when the whole order comes back; for part of an order, we refund the pieces returned.

We refund within 14 days of the piece reaching us, or of your proof of postage if that comes first. If you cancel before we've sent your order, we refund within 14 days of you telling us. In practice it's usually much sooner.

Refunds go back to the card you paid with, at no charge. The cost of sending a piece back isn't refunded, unless it was faulty or not what you ordered.

Faulty, damaged or not as described

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, everything we sell must be of satisfactory quality, fit for its purpose and as described. If it isn't, this applies to every piece, personalised ones included:

  • within 30 days of it arriving, you can return it for a full refund;
  • after 30 days, we'll repair or replace it; if we can't, or that doesn't put it right, you can have a refund or a lower price;
  • a fault that shows within six months is taken to have been there when it arrived, unless we can show otherwise;
  • after that, you can still claim for a piece that hasn't lasted as long as it reasonably should, for up to six years (five in Scotland).

If something arrives damaged, please tell us as soon as you can, with a photo of the piece and of the packaging. It helps us put it right quickly and claim from Royal Mail. Asking this doesn't shorten your legal rights. For something small, we may simply send a new one without asking for the old one back.

When a piece is faulty, we pay to send it back: we'll send you a label, or refund what it cost you.

The small differences that come from making by hand are not faults - see Handmade pieces - and neither is wear and tear, an accident, or washing against the care label.

Mistakes in printed words

We print exactly what you type, spelling, capitals and punctuation included, so please check it before you order. We don't correct it, in case what looks like a mistake is meant.

If what we print differs from what you typed, that's our mistake: we'll remake it free or refund you in full, and you won't need to send it back. A mistake in what was typed isn't one we can take back, as the piece was made exactly as asked.

Gifts

A gift we sent straight to someone can be returned by them, within the same 14 days from when it reached them. The refund goes to the person who paid, to the card they paid with, and we'll let them know. A personalised gift can be returned only if it's faulty, as above.

Swapping for another size or colour

Most pieces are made in small numbers, so we can't promise a swap. Ask us first: if we have the size or colour you want, we'll gladly send it once yours is back with us. If not, return it for a refund and order the one you want.

Bought from us somewhere else

This page covers orders from nyoki.co.uk. If you bought from us on Not On The High Street, its own returns policy applies: please contact us through your account there.
