Returns & Refund Policy

Last updated: 09/06/2026

At Ukpetessentials (“we”, “us”, “our”), we want you and your pet to be completely satisfied with your purchase.

**14-Day Cooling-Off Period (UK Legal Requirement)**
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days without giving any reason. The cooling-off period begins the day after you receive the goods.

To exercise your right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision within 14 days of receiving the item. You can contact us at:
aldantai168@gmailcom
+853 66884489

**Return Window**
If you cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period, you then have another 14 days to send the goods back to us (total 28 days from delivery). If you return the goods after this period, we may not accept the return.

**Conditions for Return**
- Items must be unused, in original packaging, and in resalable condition.
- For hygiene reasons, we cannot accept returns of opened pet grooming tools, toothbrushes, or edible products (treats, supplements).
- The customer is responsible for return shipping costs, unless the item is faulty or not as described.
- We recommend using a tracked shipping service for returns, as we cannot be held responsible for lost returns.

**How to Return**
1. Contact us at aldantai168@gmail.com to request a return authorisation.
2. We will provide you with the return address (note: returns are currently sent to our [ UK warehouse] – if no UK address is available, the customer bears international return shipping).
3. Pack the item securely and send it to the address we provide.
4. Once we receive and inspect the return, we will process your refund within 14 days.

**Faulty or Incorrect Items**
If your item arrives damaged, defective, or is the wrong product, please contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos/video. We will cover return costs and send a replacement or issue a full refund.

**Refunds**
Refunds will be made to your original payment method. We do not charge a restocking fee. Original shipping costs are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error.

**Exceptions / Non-returnable items**
- Custom or personalised products
- Perishable goods (pet treats, food)
- Sealed hygiene products once opened (pet toothbrushes, combs, bedding)
