RETURN & REFUND POLICY

DIRECT PURCHASE RETURNS (REENCLE.CO.UK)

For Direct Purchase Returns:

  • As part of our standard terms, you have a 14 day no questions return period for your Reencle from the date of delivery. 
  • After 14 days but before 30 days. If you purchased your Reencle directly from our website we still accept returns. You can return your Reencle, in unused or used condition in the original packaging, with receipt or proof of purchase. If your Reencle has been used, we will charge you a £50 fee for cleaning out microbes. This means the product does not have to go to landfill and to cover the cost of filters and microbes. Please do not send back to us if you are not happy paying this charge, it will be deducted from your refund value.
     
  • To check the condition of the product, we may request for photos or videos of your product before proceeding with returns. Once we confirm that the product is eligible for return, we will create an RMA number to initiate return.

  • Upon receipt of the returned item, we will fully examine it and notify you via email (within a reasonable period of time) whether you are entitled to a return. If you are entitled to a return, we will deduct the return shipping cost from your purchase price and process the refund in 3-5 business days. The credit(refunded amount) will automatically be applied to your original method of payment. Please note that these refunds can take 5-10 business days to appear in the account associated with the charge reversal.

  • If 30 days or more have passed since you received the unit, we cannot offer you a refund or return.

  • All product packaging (boxes, manuals, warranty cards, etc.) and components (shovel, filters, adapters, etc.)must be returned with the item.

RETURN AND REFUND PROCESS

It can be disappointing if the Reencle is not not a good fit for you. We totally understand and want work to ensure your return process is as smooth as possible.

The main consideration for customers is to keep the box, which is custom made for the Reencle. The original box ensures the Reencle travels safe, and means we can make the Reencle available to another customer after finalizing the return. The box (including the inserts) folds flat for storage. If not kept, the return process is more difficult to complete smoothly. 

For a timely and precise return or refund process please follow the instructions below:  

 

  1. Obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number from Reencle Support.

Please contact our Help Center to file for a return. We do not accept responsibility for return shipments without an RMA number.

 

  1. Prepare and package your Merchandise to return. 

Please read the detailed Returns Instruction for the Reencle below.
