The Rake Support Center

Due to the nature of customised orders, and the fact that they have been specially created for you, The Rake will not be able to accept returns.

Unfortunately The Rake is not able to refund local tax and duties paid at checkout on deliveries to non-EU countries as these are charged by local governments. Certain countries operate schemes to reclaim any local tax and duties if you return goods and will require a specific application by you to your local government or authority.

Refunds are issued via the original payment method and will normally appear within 10 business days, depending on the processing time of your payment provider.

You can send your items back in any sealed package, but the items must be protected and therefore undamaged upon return to The Rake.

If your purchase isn’t quite right, you can return it for a refund within 14 days of your delivery date using free returns service. Simply email or call The Rake to arrange a suitable time for their courier to come to your office or home and collect the package and return it to us. Please note, in some instances, The Rake is unable to offer refunds or exchanges. This includes personalised and perishable products, as well as products which have had their protective seals or strips removed or damaged. This does not affect your statutory rights. 

If you would like to exchange an item our friendly customer service advisors can assist you, simply call The Rake or email shop@therakemagazine.com. 

International Orders may be subject to local taxes, import duties or other local requirements.

It is important to check the delivery information on each of their products as many of them are based with suppliers across the world, once The Rake has received the items with them in their warehouse you will receive shipping and tracking information from courier, DHL.

If you are buying goods for delivery to an EU address, then The Rake will charge UK VAT where applicable. The price is presented on the Euro prices on the website. If you are shopping in a different currency, UK VAT will be updated when you select an EU delivery address at checkout. 

If you are buying goods for delivery to a non-EU address, then The Rake will deduct UK VAT where applicable. This is already reflected in the prices on the website if you are browsing a non-EU country. If you are browsing a UK or EU country, UK VAT will be updated when you select a non-EU delivery address at checkout.

The Rake keeps your personal data private and confidential and only give it out with your consent or if legally permitted to.
