Why do you charge a restocking fee?

1 min. readlast update: 03.03.2025

We aim to make returns as smooth and straightforward as possible. Restocking fees are a standard practice in the industry and are applied to cover the costs associated with processing returned items.

If a return has been accepted, the supplier charges us a restocking fee which covers their time and costs to:

  • Inspect the goods to ensure they meet resale standards.
  • Manage the paperwork to process the return of stock and funds.
  • Return the goods to the correct location wtihin large warehouses.

We then pass on this restocking fee to the customer who requested it, which allows us to: 

  • Cover our extra admin time & costs without increasing prices for all customers.
  • Only apply the costs of returns to those requesting them.
  • Help reduce unnecessary returns and the environmental impact of extra shipping.
