If the refund is approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment within 24 hours.
Please allow 5-7 working days for the amount to show on your account. We do apologise if this seems a little long, but this time frame is dictated by your bank or card issuer and we have no control over it.
