<p>The vast majority of products that I sell are considered "Intimate Items", and that affects your right to return them if seals have been broken for obvious reasons.</p>
<h3>Refused Deliveries</h3>
<p>In the event of a package being returned after failed delivery attempt(s), a delivery refusal, unclaimed parcels, or a package is returned to me for any other reason, then I reserve the right to charge a restocking fee of 20% plus any additional costs incurred by me in the return of the items.</p>
<p>Refunds will only be issued against the goods and not any shipping charge, and refunds will not be issued until items have been safely returned to me.</p>
<p>Redelivery will be chargeable if the parcel is still required.</p>
</div><div class="K2FeedFullText">
<h3>Customer Returns</h3>
<p>All E-Stim Sytems Control Units and Premium Electrodes are backed with their Lifetime Guarantee (subject to their terms and conditions).</p>
<p>I would never knowingly sell a defective or substandard products. However, in the unlikely event that you find a fault, then please get in touch with me before returning an item.</p>
<p>I hope you will understand that I cannot take back any item that has been used intimately, including power units, as I have to guarantee the item is new and unused. So once the hygiene seals are broken, it is yours. Of course, if it has failed, you will be covered by their lifetime guarantee.</p>
<p>If you are not sure that what you are buying is what you want, please talk to me before making your purchase. I do not offer a sale-or-return service.</p>
<p>I consider any item that can be used internally or directly against the skin to be an intimate product.</p>
<h3>Consumer Rights Act 2015</h3>
<p>All consumer internet, mail order or telephone sales within the EU and placed after 1st October 2015, are covered by the Consumer Rights Act (CRA) 2015 as well as the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Sales placed before this date are covered by the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.</p>
<p>The CRA 2015 gives you the right to reject goods if they are found to be:</p>
<ul>
<li>not of satisfactory quality, or</li>
<li>not fit for a particular purpose, or</li>
<li>do not match the description, sample or model.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>You no longer have an automatic right of return just because you don't like it, or it's too big.</strong></p>
<p>Please check the product descriptions carefully, and if you are unsure regarding sizing or suitability for purpose, please get in touch with me before making a purchase.</p>
<p>If you find, on receipt of your items, any of them are faulty, then you are responsible for returning them to me for me to affect a repair/replacement or a refund (if it is under 30 days from the date of purchase).</p>
<p>If you have broken any security seals, which can reasonably be expected to be intact, this would be considered abnormal use, thus removing your rights under the CRA 2015.</p>
<p>All E-Stim Systems Power Boxes and Premium Electrodes are covered by their Lifetime Guarantee.</p>
<h3>Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013</h3>
<p>For orders placed before 1st October 2015, The Consumer Contracts Regulations gave you, for 14 days from the date of receipt, time to check out the products you have purchased in the same manner you would have had in a shop and to cancel the order and return the goods back to me for a refund, minus any cost of shipping (as this is a service that has been completed).</p>
<p>Since 2015 this has been extended to 30 days (see above). However, your right to cancel does not apply to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Personalised goods or goods made to a consumer's specification.</li>
<li>Goods that cannot, by their nature, be returned - this includes items that might have been used in an intimate nature and computer software.</li>
</ul>
<p>The first EU consultation on the original Distance Selling Directive stated that it had concerns about the fact that health and safety considerations are not reflected in the right to return products that are of an intimate nature or have been tried; there would be possible health risks in returning these products, Therefore if the seals have been broken the goods may not be returned.</p>
<p>All goods returned under the CCR or CRA are the consumer's responsibility until they have been returned.</p>
<p>This policy does not affect your statutory rights.</p></div><div class="K2FeedImage"><img src="https://www.sexmachinereviews.co.uk/media/k2/items/cache/4f411c7dd400d8cc3ebd00031ff0e07d_S.jpg" alt="Shipping And Returns" /></div><div class="K2FeedIntroText"><h2>Distance Selling Regulations</h2>

<p>I often get asked how I package orders when I send them out and if I use discreet packaging.</p>
<p>I can certainly understand anyone's apprehension when considering an order of adult products online. <strong>The worry about what the packaging will look like and how discreetly their order will be packaged is genuine and natural</strong>.</p>
<p>I also have the same concerns when shopping online, and I have that at the forefront of my mind when I pack and dispatch my products to customers, old and new.</p>
</div><div class="K2FeedFullText">
<p><strong>That is why I ship products in plain packaging. Either in those padded jiffy style bags or plain brown cardboard boxes</strong>.</p>
<p>International orders have to have a customs declaration on them by law, and if I don't affix one, the package would be turned around and sent back to me or, worse, opened by your customs authorities.</p>
<p>When I fill in customs declarations forms, <strong>I am as discreet as I can be</strong>.</p>
<p>Here are some examples of descriptions used on customs forms:</p>
<ul>
<li>For a control box - Digital Signal Generator.</li>
<li>For an electrode - Single Pole Contact Electrode (Double or Triple also used in descriptions for electrodes).</li>
<li>For a Tri-phase cable - Connector Cable With Adaptors.</li>
</ul>
<p>Orders shipped internationaly via DHL have a digital customs declaration rather than one stuck to the outside of the packaging.</p>
<p>Orders over a preset value qualify for free shipping. For these orders I use Royal Mail International Tracked as the shipping option, you can of course select a courier option at cost, but I cannot offer free courier shipping as my margins are slim.</p>
<p>You need to know and understand your local rules on importing the products I sell.</p>
<p><strong>You can rest assured that if you place an order with me, I will treat your order with the discretion and care that I would hope for myself when ordering things online</strong>.</p>
<p>I use a franking machine to affix the stamps to the packages and put a discreet return address label on the back that just has "Sender" and then the return address, so <strong>no mention of Joanne's Reviews</strong>.</p>
<p>Here is a picture of a recent batch of orders about to be sent to the post office; as you can see, I use discreet packaging. No one will have any idea of the orgasms awaiting the recipient when they put the contents to good use.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="https://www.sexmachinereviews.co.uk/images/blog/boxesjoanne.jpg" alt="Image showing Joanne next to a pile of orders in their boxes awaiting dispatch" title="Image showing Joanne next to a pile of orders in their boxes awaiting dispatch" /><br />I always ship orders in plain packaging.</p>
<h3>Recycling</h3>
<p>I am aware of how much packaging is used and thrown out every year by everyone around the globe. I try to re-use the packaging that I have been sent where I can.</p>
<p>Things like brown paper packing material and bubble wrap will be recycled and used to package the products I send out securely.</p>
<p>I am sure you will agree that it is a much better option than sending it to my local landfill site.</p>

<p>The thing to notice about that title is the word irregular. I hate spam mail the only spam I tolerate is the meat variety, and even then I have to be pretty hungry for that to tempt me.</p>
<p>I only send out a newsletter when I have something newsworthy. So you won't be getting bombarded with weekly messages from me. I tend to send out a newsletter when I have reviewed something amazing that I need the whole world to know about. Or for instance when I have created a new e-stim electrode that will blow your socks off.</p>
<p>So feel free to sign up to my newsletter, it is compliant with anti-spam regulations, and you are in total control, you can unsubscribe at any time. I don't pass on e-mail addresses to other companies, but I do use MailChimp to manage my list and to create newsletters.</p>
<p>I hope you do decide to sign up and I am sure you will enjoy the newsletters when they arrive.</p>

<p><img src="https://www.sexmachinereviews.co.uk/images/20pounds.jpg" alt="I pay £20 per guest post" align="right" hspace="10"/>I'm so excited to finally be in a position where I can host guest blog posts and articles from fellow bloggers. I'm looking for sex related articles on diverse subjects from BDSM, sex toys, relationships, fetishes or anything that you think may be of interest to my readers</p>
<p>Guest posts are a good way to have your work exposed to a wider audience. I can't afford to pay much for guest posts but I do pay for them (£20). In the future I hope to be able to pay more.</p>
<p>I thought it might be a good idea to list some of the things I am looking for in guest posts and what I want to avoid.</p>
<h3>What I'm looking for</h3>
<ul>
<li>I would love to hear about your experiences especially if it's about something that I have not tried or written about.</li>
<li>I'd enjoy learning about new kinks and fetishes, so maybe you could enlighten me on something you enjoy.</li>
<li>Erotic fiction especially if it is about a long term fantasy or kink.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="K2FeedFullText">
<h3>I am not looking for</h3>
<ul>
<li>Any of those tip type articles such as "10 ways to give a better blowjob".</li>
<li>Sex Toy reviews as that is what I tend to focus on, however if you have an unusual toy or a sex machine review then get in touch.</li>
<li>Articles from companies just looking for links to their websites. I offer sponsored posts for that and you would pay me not the other way round.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How to pitch a post</h3>
<p><span class="block-right"><strong>If you are anything like me you probably doubt your own abilities and you think I wouldn't be interested in what you want to suggest. But you couldn't be more wrong, I want to hear from you</strong>.</span>Just send me a quick e-mail to admin[at]sexmachinereviews.co.uk giving me a short brief on what you would like to write about. We can then discuss your idea and if I think it will fit in with my site then I'll give you the go ahead to write it up.</p>
<p>Once you have written your guest post I will then need some information from you in order to post it on my site. You can then send me the following information:</p>
<ul>
<li>The article itself.</li>
<li>Your chosen pen-name, you can use the name you already use on your own blog or something anonymous, heck you can even use your own name if you want.</li>
<li>A short Bio that I will add under the post to give readers some information about you and a heads up of where to read more of your work.</li>
<li>Links for your own site and social media profiles.</li>
</ul>
<p align="center"><img src="https://www.sexmachinereviews.co.uk/images/articles/pitch.jpg" alt="Image showinbg a woman thinking" /><br>Writing a pitch for a guest post is easy and I don't bite</p>
<h3>Blog or article length</h3>
<p>I'm looking for articles between 800 and 1000 words in length, that isn't too much as most of my reviews are this length. This is number is a guide though and it's flexible, it's just a ballpark figure of what I'm hoping to get in terms of post length. I will then write a short intro and include your bio information at the bottom of the article.</p>
<p>Sending a guest post can be a nerve wracking thing, and I understand that as I have done it myself. I'm here to help and advise, and will only publish the post when you are happy with it so don't be shy in sending over what you have written. If I feel it has areas that can be improved I will discuss them with you but I don't bite. Seeing your work on someone elses site is an amazing feeling so what are you waiting for.</p>
<p>You can send pictures to accompany the post but they will need to be your own photos taken by yourself. I can't use pictures that you have obtained from third parties.</p>
<h3>Getting paid for your post</h3>
<p>I will compensate posters for their work but as they will already appreciate, money doesn't grow on trees and so I can't afford to pay much at this stage. However it's important to me to pay for your work and it's only right that I do so.</p>
<p>I can afford to pay £20 per article which I know isn't a lot, but if you do want to work with me then that would be great. I'm not going to promise massive levels of exposure or anything like that and in the future I hope to be able to pay more, at the moment I can't though.</p>
<p>I can send you your payment by Bank Transfer (UK only), PayPal or as an Amazon gift card.</p>
<p>If you fancy writing an article then just get in touch.</p>

<h3>Published Work</h3>
<p>Here are links to my externally published works:</p>
<h4>Kink Craft</h4>
<p>My first piece of commissioned work was for KinkCraft.co to write an article describing what is entailed in reviewing sex toys. This is due to the conception that it is an easy way to get free sex toys and I was more than happy to set the record straight.</p>
