You can also send an email to:
📧 info@machalaknits.com
📞 +420 721 150 963
Please include:

By law, you have the right to claim defects that occur within 24 months of receiving the goods.

- a refund (in case of a significant defect).

5. Unclaimed and uncollected shipments
If you cannot receive or collect your shipment, please let us know as soon as possible. We will gladly try to find the best solution for you. 💛
However, if a shipment is not received or collected within the specified storage period due to reasons on the customer's side and is subsequently returned to us, the customer may incur costs associated with its return.
Resending the shipment
If you wish for the shipment to be resent after its return, we will gladly send it to you. However, before resending, we require payment for the new delivery costs.
Simply not receiving or collecting a shipment is not considered withdrawal from the purchase agreement. If you wish to withdraw from the agreement, you must clearly inform us.
This, of course, does not affect your legal right to withdraw from the purchase agreement.
6. Important information
- Please do not send goods without prior arrangement.
- Cash-on-delivery shipments will not be accepted.
