1. Request return — Email contact@calinza.shop with your order number and reason for return within 14 days of delivery.

Damaged, defective or incorrect items

These are always resolved free of charge — you never pay to return an item that is not as it should be.

Damaged in transit — Please inspect your parcel on delivery. If the product or its packaging is damaged, email us within 48 hours of delivery with your order number and clear photographs. We will arrange a free replacement or a full refund — whichever you prefer.

Defective on arrival — If your item is faulty out of the box, contact us within 48 hours of delivery. We do not require you to return defective items at your own expense — we'll arrange collection or replacement free of charge.

Wrong item received — If we've sent you the wrong product, we'll arrange free collection and dispatch the correct item at no extra cost, or issue a full refund.

Inspection on return — Every returned item is inspected on arrival. Approvals — and refunds — are typically confirmed by email within 2 business days of receipt.

Returns FAQ

How long do I have to return an item? You may request a return within 14 calendar days of the day on which you, or a person nominated by you, receive the goods. Approved returns must then be sent back to Calinza, or ready for collection, within a further 14 days.

What condition do items need to be in? Items must be unused, unassembled and in the same condition in which you received them, returned in their original packaging with all protective materials, fittings and instructions. Items showing signs of use, assembly, weathering, damage after delivery, missing parts or missing packaging may be refused or refunded only in part.

What if I received the wrong item? Contact us within 48 hours of delivery. We'll arrange a free collection and either ship the correct item at no additional cost or issue a full refund — whichever you prefer.

What if my item arrived damaged or defective? Email us within 48 hours of delivery at contact@calinza.shop with your order number and clear photographs of the item and packaging. We'll arrange a free replacement or a full refund. You do not need to return defective items at your own expense.

What if my parcel is lost? Where a tracked order has not been delivered within 10 business days of dispatch and the courier confirms the item is lost, we'll dispatch a replacement at no additional cost or, at your preference, issue a full refund to your original payment method.

What if my order is very late? If your order has not arrived within the estimated 3–7 business day window, contact us and we'll open a courier investigation. If delivery cannot be completed within a reasonable additional period, you may cancel and receive a full refund.

Who pays for return shipping? Return shipping is free where the return is due to a fault, damage in transit, an incorrect item, or a late delivery on our part. For change-of-mind returns, the cost of return shipping is the customer's responsibility — for small accessories we recommend using a tracked service, and for sheds, log stores and outdoor buildings the customer arranges and pays for courier collection.

How will I be refunded? Refunds are always issued to the original payment method used at checkout. We do not issue refunds in cash or to a different card.

How long do refunds take to appear? Once we receive and inspect your return, we'll email to confirm approval. Approved refunds are issued within 5–10 business days. Depending on your bank or card issuer, the amount may take a few more days to appear on your statement.

How do I request a return? Email contact@calinza.shop with your order number and a short description of the reason for return. Please do not send items back before receiving a return authorisation — unannounced returns may be delayed or refused.
