Please follow Mathmos’ 4 Step Returns Procedure;

All returned products must be in the original packaging, unused, and in resalable condition. Be sure to insert the Return Form in the package and place it above the product. If the product is not returned in the required resalable condition, we reserve the right to refuse or reduce the refund.

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

– Reuse the original packaging as much as possible. If any elements of the inner packaging are damaged, use appropriate packing materials such as sturdy cardboard and bubble wrap.

– Protect the plug pins with bubble wrap or newspaper.

– Use packing material to protect the base and cap to avoid any risk of scratching, then wrap the cable 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.
