REFUNDS & RETURNS POLICY
RETURN POLICY
Thank you for shopping with Schönn. If you are not entirely satisfied with your purchase, we’re here to help.
Schönn Returns & Refunds
You have seven (7) calendar days to return an item from the date that the item is delivered to you. To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. Your order will arrive with a checklist and a stick on every individual product for shipping purposes. Please keep your original packaging, checklist and stickers should they be required for return purposes. If your item is not sufficiently packed, it will not be accepted regardless of the reason for its return.
Once Schönn has received your item, we will inspect it and notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the status of your refund after inspecting the item. If we approve your return, we will refund you via your original payment method. Depending on your bank’s policies, you will receive the credit within a certain amount of days.
You are responsible for organising the return of your item with a courier service of your choice. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you would like a recommendation for courier companies that you can use. You are also responsible for paying for your shipping costs for returning your item.
A 20% handling fee will be charged to you, the customer, for us to process your return. This handling fee covers all external costs such as packaging used in the initial order, bank fees and other charges. Please note that Schönn takes no responsibility if the items arrive back to us damaged due to the return courier trip.
Schönn products are made to order and custom-made especially for you; therefore, no exchanges or returns will be permitted unless the goods are defective. Sale items cannot be returned. Schönn will NOT supply any installed equipment or tools with any of our products unless specified in the item’s description. These might include screws, nuts and spanners. However, due to the different variety of materials and the different types of structures in homes, Schönn will not take responsibility for any wrong installation or installation methods used by the client, making it impossible to use the item for what it is intended. Therefore, we highly recommend that a client communicates with the Schönn team first before assuming that a product can be used for a certain purpose on installation onto certain materials. These might include dry walls, glass or wood.
Schönn Damages
If an item is damaged upon delivery to you, it is ultimately the buyer’s responsibility to sort the issue out with the courier. Schönn makes use of third-party couriers, and as a result, can not be held responsible for damages that occur during transport. Our shipping and couriers are are an add-on service that we provide. Schönn cannot take responsibility for any unethical behaviour, delays, or damages that take place under the service of the third-party couriers. Essentially, the responsibility of your purchase transfers to the third-party couriers once the goods are collected.
Please note it is your responsibility to notify Schönn of any damages within 48hours of the delivery date via info@schonn.co.za. If a response is not received within two working days, we recommend that you send a follow-up email or call us at 066 301 0035.
The item will not be refundable if it is not sufficiently packaged for the return trip and arrives at Schönn in a damaged state. You will also be charged to have your damaged goods sent back to you. Schönn only replaces the broken part and not the product entirely.
Refunds are loaded on a specific date every month. This date is not set and is subject to change on a monthly basis to avoid unnecessary bank charges.
Schönn Non-Returnables
Custom made items are not eligible for return or refund. Additionally, if you have requested any specific changes to an existing listed item on our website, that item will not be suitable for return.
Schönn makes each order by hand to suit your preference and style. For this reason, Schönn does not accept returns or offer refunds if you change your mind or make the wrong decision regarding size or colour.
Schönn International Shipment Policy
Schönn will not be held responsible for any damages that occur from your third party shipping company for any deliveries beyond the South African border. All items must be checked before transporting further by your third-party courier. Schönn will not be held responsible if the items get damaged through the third party couriers.
