- For most products we ask you to send the product to us yourself. Pack up the product and send it to us via a nearby bpost point or Parcel Locker or via one of our stores for free.
- In most cases, we pick up large products such as white goods and kitchen appliances at your house.
Want to know if we'll pick up your product? We'll always let you know via email after your product is registered. In addition, you can find out what type of warranty you have on the product page of your product, under 'specifications'. Does it say 'On-site service'? We'll pick up the product at your house. If it says 'Carry-in warranty', we expect you to send the product to us.
Can I return my product in the store?
Yes, you can drop off your product in one of our stores. You don't have to register your return online in advance and you don't have to print anything. In the case of a defect, we'll first try to find a solution ourselves. If that doesn't work, we'll send your product to be repaired.
Good to know: Did you pay in cash? When you return a product in our stores, we'll refund up to € 50 in cash. Is the amount over € 50 or did you not pay in cash? We'll refund the amount to your account.

How soon will I be refunded after a return?
As soon as we've processed your return, we'll refund you within 5 working days. The time it takes for a refund to appear on your bank account depends on the payment method.
You might get your money back in several installments. This can be due to two things
- You've paid for your order with a gift card or voucher, either completely or partially. You'll get refunded with shop credit.
- You've exchanged a product for a different one. In that case, we'll refund the purchase value of the first product to the payment method you used to pay the first time. Did you pay an additional amount for the replacement product? You'll be refunded that amount separately.
- You've returned multiple products. One product might be processed earlier than an other product. This can mean that you've got your money back from one product, but not from an other. In this case, we want to ask you to have some patience.
Did you pay with cash? In our stores, we refund an amount up to € 50 in cash. We'll refund any amount above € 50 to your bank account.
I've returned multiple products, why did I only get a refund for one?
We process each product separately. This means that a product can be processed earlier than another product, even if you've returned them in the same box. It's possible that you've received your money back from one product, but not for another. In this case, we want to ask you to wait a little longer.
