FAQ & Helpdesk

Refunds

When will I receive my refund?

The shop will issue a refund once they have received and accepted your return. This usually takes from a few days up to two weeks.

Who decides about my refund – Shopreturns or the shop?

The final decision is always made by the shop. Shopreturns manages the logistics and provides full documentation.

Can I exchange a product instead of returning it?

That depends on the shop’s policy – some allow exchanges, others only refunds. Shopreturns handles the logistics, not the decision.

FAQ & Helpdesk

Rights

What are my rights when shopping online in the EU?

You have the right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days without giving any reason. The shop must accept the return and issue a refund.

Can I return products bought abroad?

Yes – EU law covers cross-border shopping. Shopreturns makes it easier thanks to local return addresses.

FAQ & Helpdesk

Eco

What happens to returns that cannot be resold?

The shop decides what happens with these returns. They may be sent for recycling, disposal, or reintroduced into circulation – for example, resold with proceeds going to a charity chosen by the shop.

How does Shopreturns care for the environment?

By providing local return addresses we reduce the need to send parcels across Europe, cutting the carbon footprint. We also give shops the option to handle returns responsibly – through recycling, donations, or giving products a second life.
