We do understand that you need to open a packet to try the product and this is perfectly acceptable and we can reseal them, but please try not to rip it open like a possessed demon using stanley knifes, pliers or hacksaw blades etc that may scratch the products.
We won't accept returns where the product has been thrown in the back of a van for week with a box of tools on top and then returned to us looking like a garage clearance. We wouldn't send a product out to you like that and expect the same courtesy back.
