Do I have to pay duty, delivery or any other charges?

No the price you see is the price you pay, there are no other charges.

Where will my order be sent from?

EU orders are sent out from our fulfilment centre in Germany; Rheim. We hold good stocks of Mathmos products there and have been working with Rheim for several years.

Is Brexit causing delivery delays?

Mathmos has planned for delays during this initial period of Brexit and built up stocks in our German fulfilment centre so that our customers continue to receive a good service.

If I want to return my product will there be extra charges or duties?

No you will just pay the costs of returning your product within your country.

Can you supply the Republic of Ireland?

Due to Brexit, we are unable to offer the full range Mathmos range. We can ship bulbs, bottles and the Neo lava lamp range to the Republic of Ireland from our EU fulfilment warehouse. If this is of interest, please email our team for further assistance at cservice@mathmos.com

Can Mathmos supply Northern Ireland?

Yes please buy from the UK website as usual where we offer free delivery to Northern Ireland.

You will need to pay the return shipping costs yourself. All returns must be in a resaleable condition (in their original packaging, unused and securely packaged).

Please follow Mathmos’ 5 Step Returns Procedure;

1. Contact Us

You must contact us before returning your product; let us know your name, the product for return, the order number and your email address. You can use one of these ways of contacting us;

– Online Cancellation Form

– interneteurope@mathmos.com

2. Fill Out The Returns Advice Form

You will find this on the reverse side of your dispatch note, or print again  here. Please fill out all of the details clearly.

3. Pack The Product Securely

Pack your product securely and make sure you place the returns form in the package.

– Allow your lava lamp to cool for at least 24 hours before packing it (if you have turned it on to see the colour).

– Use as much as possible of the original packaging.

– If parts of the internal packaging are damaged use appropriate packing materials such as strong cardboard and bubble-wrap to ensure the product arrives in a like-new condition.

– Protect the plug pins with a suitable material such as bubble wrap or newspaper.

– Protective material should be wrapped around the base and cap to protect them from scratching, the lead can then be wrapped around the outside of the base.

– Remember lava lamps are made of glass so must be packed very securely.

NB. All returns must arrive at Mathmos in the condition in which they were received; unused, undamaged and returned in the original packaging. If the product is not returned to us in fully resalable condition, we reserve the right to refuse or reduce the refund on the item.

4. Send Your Product Back

Mathmos does not accept responsibility for goods that are lost or damaged in transit, so we recommend you pack your items securely and keep your proof of postage.

You can use either;

Post Office – Affix the address label at the bottom of the Returns Advice Form to the outside of your package, take it to the Post Office and send to us. This is not a pre-paid label so you will need to pay return postage. Please retain your proof of postage.

OR

Collect Plus (UK only) – Affix the address label to the outside of the package then return the products to us using Collect Plus by clicking here. This link will allow you to pay £6.29 by PayPal or card (for a 2-5kg parcel) and print a PDF label to attach to the outside of the package. When it’s dropped off at any of the Collect+ locations a receipt will be issued as proof-of-postage and you will be given a tracking code to follow it online.

If you purchased from Mathmos.com using your PayPal account then you are eligible for PayPal’s “Return Shipping on Us” service, see below.

5. Refund Processed by Mathmos 

All refunds will be processed within 2 weeks of the item being received at our factory; most will be processed in 3 – 5 days. If you have not received your refund within 2 weeks, please contact us at returns@mathmos.com with tracking information for the return so we can investigate.
