Payment, Delivery and Returns

Payment can be accepted online with either a credit or debit card. All credit/debit card payments are handled securely via Braintree, an independent Payment Service Provider. This means that we never actually see your credit/debit card data ourselves – it goes direct from you to Braintree via a secure link, and then from there to the bank.

Alternatively, you can also pay by PayPal, or if you would like to pay by cheque please make it payable to Purple Turtle and send it to the following address:
Purple Turtle, Unit 7 Rising Sun Industrial Estate, Blaina, Abertillery, NP13 3JW.

If you would like to return an item for a refund or an exchange please send it back with a note requesting a refund/exchange and quoting your order number and postcode.  It should be returned within two weeks but if this isn’t practical because the item has been bought as a present or something similar, just let us know and we may be able to extend this period.

The item should be returned in the original retail packaging, complete with swing tags and labels, etc. If the item is returned to us in an undamaged condition, suitable for resale, we will then issue a refund to your payment card or PayPal account.

You are responsible for the return postage and packaging, but if you exchange an item you won’t be charged for the additional postage on the new parcel.

The return address for parcels is as follows:

Purple Turtle, Unit 7 Rising Sun Industrial Estate, Blaina, Abertillery, NP13 3JW

If you do want to exchange an item but time is short it would be quicker to order the new item online and then return the unwanted item for a refund when time allows.
