The Small Print

We've been selling our handmade soap on the Internet since 1998 and believe that we make it a convenient, safe and rewarding way to buy. In that time, we've processed hundreds of orders with very few problems or returns and we've not had any unforeseen problems taking customer's credit card details on-line.

Refund and returns policy

Promise
We promise to ship our best-quality products to you in a safe, secure and reliable manner and to deal promptly with any defect or concern you may have regarding your order.

Please bear in mind that our products are genuinely hand-made in small volumes so you may encounter some variation in colour, texture, scent or wrapping between batches or orders. If you do have any problems or queries, please let us know by e-mail or by calling 01328 711717. We'll do our best to sort them out.

Refunds and returns
If your goods do not reach you in perfect condition, please contact us by e-mail or on 01328 711717. We will arrange either to replace your goods or to refund the purchase price including any post and packing charge. We may ask you to return faulty goods to us and would ask that you take good care to pack them safely when doing so. Where goods are found to have been defective or damaged before delivery, we will refund or reimburse your costs in returning them to us.

Cancellations
If you change your mind about your order, please contact us by e-mail or on 01328 711717 within seven working days of receipt. We will ask you to safely return the goods at your expense and we will then make a refund to you. Our refund may be reduced should the goods be returned part-used, incomplete or damaged.

Other issues

Samples
We are sorry but we do not supply goods on approval nor do we supply free samples of our soaps. If you'd like to try our soaps, we recommend that your order just one full-size bar from this website. This costs less than £6 delivered in the UK and we're confident that you will enjoy it...

Secure ordering
We put orders from our website (and credit card orders by other means) through Worldpay, one of the world's leading Internet payment services. After making an order on our site, you will be taken to Worldpay's secure server to enter your credit card details... this information is then protected in transit over the Internet by SSL encryption. You may see a completed padlock or key in your browser when you are on the payment page. Long obsolete web browsers (typically version 3 or before) may not make a secure connection or may display an unnecessary security warning because their technology or internal security certificates are out of date.

Cookies
Like a great many shopping sites, ours uses 'cookies', small chunks of data sent by a website to your browser, either temporarily or to be stored on your hard disk for future reference. There's been some fuss that cookies are used to track which pages you visit on the web or control advertising displays but we only use them to distinguish one visitor to our site from another so that we know who has what in their shopping basket. You must enable cookies or accept cookies in your browser to be able to shop on our site. There is generally no harm in doing so, either here or on other sites.

Customer privacy
The Natural Soap Company does not sell or pass customer's e-mail addresses or other details to other parties nor do we bombard our customers with endless e-mails and leaflets. If you order from us, we may contact you about your order and we may, on occasion, e-mail or write to you with information about our products and special offers. If you would prefer not to receive any promotional material at all from us, please let us know.
