Flatpack Returns

If you wish to return a flatpack product, you need to contact us within 5 days. Goods must be returned to us in a saleable condition and in the original, undamaged packaging. We may withhold up to 30% of the purchase price of returned goods, if the products or packaging is in such a condition that the item is not fully re-saleable.

If you are thinking of making a flat pack purchase, download our flat pack guidelines.

 

Can I cancel my order after I’ve paid?

If you wish to cancel an order after payment has been made, you will need to contact us within 48 hours of payment to receive a full refund. Any orders cancelled after this time period will be charged a 5% handling fee (for administrative costs incurred). This will be deducted from the refund amount.

Please note: If you want to cancel your order but it has already been dispatched, you will not be refunded the shipping fee.

Any custom made items cannot be cancelled if we have manufactured, and custom made goods constitute special order goods and are not refundable. 

Any items we identify to you as special order items cannot be refunded.  

Refunds

Refunds are processed based on the following:

• The product/s have been received by UCAN.

• The product will be evaluated on receipt of the return.

• You will be notified about the status of your refund once the evaluation has been finalised.

• Refunds are done every two weeks, a receipt of which will be emailed to you.

 

Partial Refunds

There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted so pay attention to these:

• Books or planners with obvious signs of use.

• Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error.

• Any item that is returned more than 30 days after delivery.

 

Can I receive a credit voucher instead of a refund?

Yes. When completing the Return Form you will be given the opportunity to indicate whether you would like to receive a credit voucher as a form of refund. The return process will be exactly the same as if you opted for a monetary refund.

Once the return is evaluated, a code will be sent to you for the value of your return minus the 1/2 shipping fee for the return. You will need to use this code when next placing an order.

Vouchers are not transferable for cash.

 

How do I use the credit voucher I received as a refund?

If you have chosen to receive a credit voucher as a refund, a code will be generated and emailed to you. When you next make a purchase on the UCAN website, you will need to enter this code at checkout.

 

I have forgotten the code for my credit voucher?

If you have forgotten the refund voucher code, you can call our office on 031-713-9579 for assistance.

 

I have received a credit voucher for an order, how long do I have in order to use it?

Customers are encouraged to use their credits within 6 months from receipt.

 

Why is my refund taking so long?

All refunds are processed once a week on a Friday however if you haven’t received a refund after 20 days, especially if the refund was being processed against your credit card, then please check your account again. Sometimes it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. We would also suggest contacting your bank to check with them.

If you are concerned about how long the refund is taking, you can email info@ucandoit.co.za or call the UCAN office on 031-713-9579.
