Whistlefish returns

Whistlefish accepts returns of most items within 30 days of receipt, provided they are unused and in their original packaging, and offers a full refund, though return postage charges are non-refundable.

For most eligible online purchases there is also a statutory right to cancel from the point you place your order until 14 days after the day you receive your goods. Once an authorised return has been received, it may take up to 5 working days to process, and refunds usually appear on your card or account within a couple of working days.

Good to know about Whistlefish

Whistlefish is a family-owned British brand that began over 30 years ago with founder Lyn Thompson, supported by The Prince’s Trust, and is now led by her daughter Cathrine. Its artists are at the centre of everything the brand does, producing hand-painted florals, wildlife and contemporary illustrations, and cards are printed locally with British craftsmanship chosen throughout. Through its Green Matters commitment, Whistlefish uses FSC-certified paper and supports tree planting in Cornwall. Greetings cards and Christmas cards can have a personal message added and be sent directly to the recipient, and a member of the Whistlefish team writes every message by hand. Luxury Cards require a Large Letter stamp when posted within the UK.
