Return & Refund Policy

Last updated: November 13, 2026

At Silver Chef, we aim to provide clear and transparent procedures for returns, refunds, exchanges, damaged items, incorrect orders, and cancellations.

This Return & Refund Policy applies to eligible purchases made through our online store:

https://silverchef.shop/

Our standard voluntary return period is 30 calendar days from delivery, subject to the conditions described below.

Nothing in this policy excludes or restricts mandatory consumer rights under applicable law, including relevant United Kingdom consumer protection legislation.

1. Return Period

Customers may request a return for eligible items within 30 calendar days after delivery.

The voluntary return period begins on the date the relevant merchandise is delivered to the customer or an authorized recipient.

Where an order is delivered in separate parcels, the applicable voluntary return period may be assessed for each delivery. Statutory cancellation periods will be determined according to applicable law.

Return requests should be submitted before the applicable period expires.

Email: info@silverchef.shop

Our 30-day voluntary return policy operates in addition to statutory cancellation and consumer rights.

2. Return Eligibility

To qualify for a standard voluntary change-of-mind return, merchandise should generally be:

• In substantially the same condition as received;

• Unused, except for reasonable inspection;

• Free from damage caused after delivery;

• Complete with originally supplied components and accessories, where applicable;

• Accompanied by original tags or labels, where reasonably applicable; and

• Supported by proof of purchase or valid order information.

Original packaging should be included where reasonably possible.

Customers may reasonably examine merchandise to determine its nature and characteristics.

Ordinary inspection does not automatically remove statutory cancellation rights.

Where legally permitted, a refund may be reduced to reflect diminished value caused by handling beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect the merchandise.

These conditions do not limit statutory rights concerning defective, damaged, incorrect, or materially misdescribed goods.

3. Starting a Return

Before returning merchandise, please contact our customer support team.

Email: info@silverchef.shop

Please provide:

• Order number;

• Name or identification of the item;

• Reason for the return;

• Quantity being returned;

• Preferred resolution; and

• Relevant photographs or supporting information where reasonably necessary.

Our support team will review the request and provide appropriate return instructions.

The authorized return address may differ from our business contact address or the sender address shown on the parcel.

Please do not send merchandise to an unconfirmed return address.

For statutory cancellation, a clear notice of cancellation submitted within the applicable period is sufficient to exercise the right. Return authorization procedures do not restrict that right.

4. Change-of-Mind Returns

Eligible voluntary change-of-mind returns may be requested within 30 calendar days after delivery.

Customers may request a return where they no longer require an item, have changed their mind, or wish to make a different purchase.

Return Shipping Costs

Customers are generally responsible for the direct shipping cost of voluntary change-of-mind returns unless otherwise agreed or required by law.

We recommend using a trackable service and retaining proof of dispatch.

Return Condition

Merchandise should be returned in a condition consistent with reasonable inspection and the applicable return requirements.

Any lawful reduction for diminished value will be explained.

Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

5. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items

If an order arrives damaged, defective, incomplete, materially different from its description, or different from the item ordered, please contact us promptly.

Email: info@silverchef.shop

Please provide:

• Order number;

• Description of the issue;

• Relevant photographs or video, where reasonably available;

• Photographs of the packaging, where appropriate; and

• Other information reasonably necessary for investigation.

We will review the issue and provide an appropriate remedy under applicable law.

Depending on the circumstances, remedies may include:

• Repair, where appropriate;

• Replacement;

• Correction of the order;

• Price reduction;

• Return; or

• Refund.

Where a return is required because of a confirmed issue for which Silver Chef is legally responsible, reasonable required return shipping costs will be covered in accordance with applicable law.

Please do not dispose of merchandise unless our support team provides appropriate instructions.

6. Non-Returnable Items

Certain items may be excluded from voluntary change-of-mind returns where the relevant restriction is lawful and clearly disclosed.

Examples may include:

• Personalized or customized merchandise;

• Certain sealed goods that are unsuitable for return for health or hygiene reasons after unsealing;

• Certain perishable merchandise; and

• Other items subject to a valid legal exception.

Merchandise materially damaged through misuse after delivery may also fail to qualify for a voluntary return.

These restrictions will be applied only to the extent permitted by law.

A non-returnable classification does not remove statutory rights relating to faulty, unsafe, damaged, incorrect, or materially misdescribed goods.

7. Exchanges

Customers may request an exchange within the applicable return period.

Exchange availability depends on:

• Return eligibility;

• Available inventory;

• Condition of the merchandise; and

• Relevant order circumstances.

To request an exchange, contact:

info@silverchef.shop

Include your order number and details of the requested change.

Where a direct exchange is unavailable, we may arrange an eligible return and invite the customer to place a separate order.

Any applicable price difference will be communicated.

For confirmed defects or incorrect shipments, replacement arrangements will be handled according to applicable consumer law.

8. Return Shipping

Voluntary Returns

Customers are generally responsible for return shipping costs for ordinary voluntary change-of-mind returns unless otherwise stated or legally required.

Customers should use suitable packaging, follow return instructions, and retain proof of dispatch.

Returns for Store-Responsibility Issues

Where merchandise is confirmed to be defective, damaged on delivery, materially misdescribed, or incorrectly supplied, we will provide an appropriate return arrangement according to applicable law.

Reasonable necessary return shipping costs will be covered by Silver Chef where legally required.

Customers should not purchase premium return services expecting reimbursement without prior authorization, unless otherwise required by law.

9. Return Inspection

After returned merchandise is received, our team may inspect it to verify:

• Order identity;

• Return completeness;

• General condition;

• Applicable return eligibility; and

• The reported issue.

Where a voluntary return meets the applicable requirements, we will proceed with the agreed resolution.

If an issue is identified, we will explain the reason and available options.

Any lawful deduction for diminished value will be reasonably explained.

Statutory refunds and cancellation rights will not be delayed by discretionary inspection procedures beyond the limits permitted by law.

10. Refunds

Approved refunds will normally be issued to the original payment method unless otherwise agreed or required by law.

Refund Timing

Refunds will be processed according to the applicable legal requirements.

For most statutory cancellations of goods purchased online, a refund must generally be made without undue delay and within 14 days after the seller receives the returned goods or evidence that they were sent back, whichever occurs first.

Where no goods were supplied, different statutory timing rules may apply.

We may withhold a statutory cancellation refund until the returned goods or evidence of return are received, where the law permits.

Payment Processing

Banks, card issuers, and payment providers may require additional time to display refunded funds.

We do not charge prohibited refund fees.

For refund assistance, contact:

info@silverchef.shop

11. Original Shipping Charges

Whether original shipping charges are refundable depends on the reason for the return and applicable law.

Statutory Change-of-Mind Cancellation

Where the statutory cancellation right applies, the refund generally includes the purchase price and the cost of the least expensive standard delivery option offered for the order.

Additional amounts paid for a more expensive delivery service may be excluded to the extent permitted by law.

Defective or Incorrect Orders

Where the seller is responsible for a defective, incorrect, or otherwise non-conforming order, applicable consumer law determines the refund of relevant delivery costs.

Nothing in this section restricts mandatory statutory rights.

12. Lost Packages

If an order appears to have been lost in transit, please contact:

info@silverchef.shop

Include your order number, delivery details, and tracking information where available.

We may investigate with the relevant carrier or fulfillment partner.

Where a shipment is confirmed lost and the customer is not responsible, Silver Chef will provide an appropriate resolution in accordance with applicable law.

This may include a replacement shipment or an eligible refund.

A carrier's tracking status does not automatically remove consumer rights concerning non-delivery.

13. Refused or Unclaimed Shipments

A parcel may be returned because of:

• Incorrect delivery information;

• Failed delivery attempts;

• Failure to collect the parcel;

• Recipient refusal; or

• Applicable customs-related issues.

Where a parcel is returned, we will review the circumstances and determine the appropriate options.

Reasonable additional shipping or return costs may apply only where clearly disclosed and legally permitted.

If the delivery failure is attributable to our error, we will provide an appropriate correction without charging the customer for that error.

Refusing delivery does not necessarily constitute valid notice of statutory cancellation.

Customers wishing to cancel should contact us directly.

14. Customs and Import Charges

International orders may be subject to additional government-imposed charges, including:

• Customs duties;

• Import VAT;

• Import taxes;

• Customs clearance fees; and

• Brokerage charges.

Where collected by Silver Chef during checkout, such charges will be included in the transaction total.

Where not collected, charges may be payable by the recipient if this responsibility was clearly disclosed before purchase and is consistent with applicable law.

Customers should contact us if an unexpected charge appears inconsistent with the information provided during checkout.

15. Order Cancellations

Customers wishing to cancel an order should contact us as soon as possible.

Email: info@silverchef.shop

We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate cancellation requests before dispatch.

Operational changes or cancellations may not always be possible after fulfillment has progressed.

If an order has already been dispatched, a return process may be necessary.

Statutory Cancellation

Where applicable under UK consumer law, customers generally have 14 calendar days after receipt to cancel eligible online purchases without giving a reason, subject to statutory exceptions.

Customers generally have a further 14 calendar days after notifying the seller to return the goods.

Operational dispatch restrictions do not remove these statutory rights.

16. Consumer Rights

Nothing in this policy excludes or restricts mandatory consumer rights.

For applicable United Kingdom consumer transactions, relevant laws may include:

• Consumer Rights Act 2015;

• Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013; and

• Other relevant consumer protection legislation.

Statutory Cancellation Rights

Most eligible online consumer purchases have a 14-day statutory cancellation period after receipt, subject to applicable exceptions.

This right operates alongside our 30-day voluntary return policy.

Rights for Non-Conforming Goods

Goods must meet applicable requirements concerning satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose, and correspondence with their description.

Depending on the circumstances, consumers may have rights including:

• A short-term right to reject, generally within 30 days where applicable;

• Repair;

• Replacement;

• Price reduction; or

• Final rejection, where statutory conditions are satisfied.

Statutory remedies may remain available after the voluntary return period expires.

Mandatory legal requirements prevail over any inconsistent policy provision.
