Online shopping this Black Friday? π±οΈ π³π¦π
Changed your mind about what you bought? π€
βΉοΈ When you buy something online from an Irish or EU website, you get an extra protection of a 14-day cooling off period, where you can cancel or change your mind, without giving a reason.
π’ The 14 days start once you physically get the goods.
β οΈ Some products are excluded from the 14-day cooling off period, such as:
π₯ Personalised or custom-made items
π₯ Food that spoils quickly
π₯ Earrings or swimwear, that canβt be returned for hygiene reasons
π₯ Hotel bookings, car rental, or concert tickets
π₯ Transport services like bus, rail, or air
π¦ The cost of the return postage is usually paid by you or the seller, depending on the sellerβs return policy. The seller must tell you before you buy a product whether you will have to pay the return postage. If they donβt, you can claim the costs back from the seller.
β οΈ If you buy online outside of the EU, you may not have the same rights, so check the sellerβs return policy before you buy.
