Refund policy
Three scenarios, three paths. Please read the one that applies; they're handled differently.
1. Damage on arrival
If the pallet or any component arrives visibly damaged, this is handled under our delivery promise, separate from the returns process.
- Sign the carrier's proof-of-delivery as "damaged" before the driver leaves.
- Photograph the carton, the visible damage, and any affected components within 48 hours of delivery.
- Email the photographs to support@waldenhaus.uk with your order number.
We replace damaged components free of charge and cover both outbound and return delivery. No need to return the full order.
2. Faulty or mis-described goods
If your greenhouse arrives faulty, not as described, or is not of satisfactory quality, you have a statutory right to reject it under the Consumer Rights Act 2015:
- Within 30 days of delivery: full refund (we collect at our cost)
- Within 6 months: repair or replacement at our cost; refund if we cannot repair or replace
To start a faulty-goods claim, email support@waldenhaus.uk with your order number, a description of the fault, and photographs. We acknowledge within 2 working days.
This statutory right exists in addition to, and separately from, the change-of-mind window below.
3. Change-of-mind cancellation
However, we offer the following brand-discretionary cancellation policy as a goodwill courtesy:
Before production starts
You may cancel without charge at any time before we issue the "In production" email, typically within 5 working days of order. Full refund processed within 5 working days. Email support@waldenhaus.uk with your order number.
After production starts, before delivery
Cancellation after production starts incurs the cost of work already completed. We refund the balance within 5 working days of cancellation. Email us as above and we will confirm the deduction in writing before processing.
After delivery (14-day return window)
Within 14 days of delivery, you may return the unopened, unassembled greenhouse for a refund. Conditions:
- Item must be unused, unassembled, and in original packaging on the original pallet
- Polycarbonate panels must be unopened (factory protective film intact)
- You arrange and pay for the return courier (we can quote you a rate; pallet courier typically £150–£250 mainland UK)
- Notify us within 14 days of delivery by emailing support@waldenhaus.uk with your order number; the return must be despatched within a further 14 days
Refund is processed within 5 working days of the greenhouse arriving back with us and passing condition inspection. If items are missing, damaged in return transit, or show signs of partial assembly, a proportionate deduction applies and is itemised in writing before the refund is released.
Restrictions (all scenarios)
- Assembled greenhouses cannot be returned for change-of-mind reasons (Consumer Contracts Regulations Reg 36(2): goods that have become inseparable from other items)
- Polycarbonate panels with broken seals or removed protective film cannot be returned for change-of-mind reasons
- Custom-spec items (non-standard sizes, additional vents beyond the standard kit, special-order accessories) cannot be cancelled after production starts
Refund method and timing
- Refunds are returned to the original payment method (card / PayPal / Klarna / bank transfer)
- Card refunds typically appear in your account within 3–5 working days of processing
- Klarna refunds follow Klarna's standard cancellation timeline
