Refund policy
Last updated: August 2, 2026
At Unique Holiday House, we want you to be satisfied with your purchase. This Return and Refund Policy applies to purchases made directly through our online store.
30-Day Return Period
Most eligible physical products may be returned within 30 days after the date of delivery.
You must contact us within the 30-day return period to request authorization. After your return is approved, the item must be shipped or delivered using the return method and by the deadline provided in our return instructions.
Certain products may have different return conditions because of their category, safety requirements, hygiene restrictions, customization, or other product-specific limitations. Any special return restriction will be disclosed on the applicable product page or before your purchase is completed. Applicable consumer law will take priority where it provides greater rights.
Return Eligibility
To qualify for a full refund, the returned product must generally:
- Be the same product that was delivered to you.
- Be in the same condition in which it was received.
- Be unused or not used beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect the product.
- Include all original parts, accessories, manuals, tags, labels, and promotional items.
- Be returned in its original manufacturer packaging when the packaging was supplied with the product.
- Have a matching serial number, UPC, product identifier, or other identifying information.
- Be accompanied by your order number or other proof of purchase.
An opened product may still qualify for a return when the product category permits it. However, products showing signs of excessive use, alteration, accidental damage, missing components, or damage that occurred after delivery may receive a reduced refund or may be ineligible for a refund, to the extent permitted by law.
Starting a Return
To request a return, email:
Include the following information:
- Your name.
- Your order number.
- The product you want to return.
- The reason for the return.
- Photographs or video when the product is damaged, defective, incomplete, or incorrect.
Please do not return an item until your return request has been approved.
Some orders may be shipped through different fulfillment partners or warehouses. Therefore, the correct return location may be different from the address printed on the package.
Do not send a return to the original shipping address, the sender address printed on the package, or our contact address unless we specifically instruct you to do so.
When your return is approved, we will provide the appropriate return instructions. Depending on the product and reason for return, these instructions may include a prepaid shipping label, a return QR code, a scheduled pickup, or another authorized return method.
Items returned without authorization, sent to an incorrect address, or returned using an unauthorized shipping method may not be accepted or refunded.
Keep your return receipt and tracking information until your refund has been completed.
Return Shipping Costs
Damaged, Defective, Incorrect, or Misdescribed Products
We will cover the approved return shipping cost when:
- The product arrived damaged.
- The product is defective.
- You received the wrong product.
- Parts or components were missing.
- The product was materially different from its description.
When one of these circumstances is confirmed, we will provide an approved prepaid return method or another appropriate resolution. You may receive a replacement, full refund, or other remedy depending on product availability and applicable law.
Where applicable, a full refund for a seller-error return will include the product price and the basic original shipping charge. Additional charges for expedited or premium shipping may not be refundable unless required by law.
Change-of-Mind Returns
You are generally responsible for return shipping when the return is based on a personal preference, including when:
- You no longer want the product.
- You ordered the wrong size, color, model, or quantity.
- The product is no longer needed.
- You found a different product or price elsewhere.
- The product was ordered by mistake.
When we provide a prepaid return label for a change-of-mind return, the cost of that label may be deducted from your refund. Any applicable deduction will be disclosed before you complete the return.
Original shipping charges and expedited shipping charges are generally non-refundable for change-of-mind returns, except where required by law.
Large, heavy, or special-handling products may require scheduled pickup. Any customer-responsible pickup or shipping charge will be disclosed before the return is authorized.
We do not reimburse self-arranged shipping costs unless we approved the shipping method and expense in writing before the item was shipped.
Returns sent using cash on delivery or postage-due services will not be accepted.
Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Orders
Inspect your order promptly after delivery.
Contact us as soon as possible if:
- The product was damaged during delivery.
- The product does not function as reasonably expected.
- The product is missing parts.
- You received a different product from the one ordered.
- The product does not match its material description.
Email uniqueholidayhouse@gmail.com with your order number and clear photographs of:
- The product.
- The damage or defect.
- The packaging.
- The shipping label.
- Any missing or incorrect components.
Please keep the product and all packaging until we provide further instructions. Do not discard, repair, alter, or return the product independently while the claim is being reviewed.
For certain damaged, defective, hazardous, low-value, or otherwise non-returnable products, we may issue a refund or replacement without requiring the product to be physically returned. Returnless refunds and replacements are determined individually and are not guaranteed.
Damage resulting from misuse, improper installation, unauthorized modification, ordinary wear and tear, or an accident occurring after delivery is not considered a shipping defect.
Non-Returnable Products
The following products may be non-returnable because of safety, legal, health, logistical, or product-integrity restrictions:
- Perishable goods, groceries, food, beverages, fresh flowers, live plants, and similar products.
- Personalized, engraved, monogrammed, made-to-order, or custom-configured products.
- Hazardous materials.
- Products containing flammable liquids or gases.
- Gift cards, prepaid cards, and stored-value products.
- Downloadable software, digital products, digital content, or accessed subscriptions.
- Opened software or products with activated license codes.
- Prescription products and regulated medications.
- Opened sealed products that cannot safely be returned for health or hygiene reasons.
- Certain health, personal-care, intimate-care, or hygiene products once opened.
- Products with removed, altered, or mismatched serial numbers, UPCs, security labels, or product identifiers.
- Products that are legally prohibited from being shipped or returned.
- Products clearly identified as Final Sale before purchase.
A product being discounted, on sale, or purchased using a promotional code does not automatically make it final sale. Discounted products remain subject to this policy unless they were clearly marked Final Sale before purchase.
Even when a product cannot be physically returned, contact us if it arrives damaged, defective, incomplete, or incorrect. It may still qualify for a refund, replacement, or another remedy.
Exchanges and Replacements
Eligible damaged, defective, incomplete, or incorrect products may qualify for replacement, subject to availability.
For returns based on size, color, style, model, or personal preference, the fastest method is generally to return the original product and place a separate order for the replacement product.
We cannot guarantee that the same product, price, variation, or promotional offer will remain available when a replacement order is placed.
Refund Inspections and Deductions
Returned products may be inspected to verify:
- The identity of the product.
- The product’s condition.
- Matching serial numbers or product identifiers.
- The presence of all parts and accessories.
- Signs of use, alteration, or damage.
- The stated reason for the return.
Where permitted by law, a refund may be reduced to account for:
- Missing parts or accessories.
- Damage occurring after delivery.
- Excessive use.
- Alterations or unauthorized repairs.
- Missing packaging that materially reduces the product’s value.
- A returned product that differs from the product originally delivered.
- Customer-responsible return shipping charges.
Returns involving empty packages, switched products, altered serial numbers, counterfeit products, or other suspected return fraud may be denied.
Refund Processing
We will notify you after your return has been received and inspected.
When a refund is approved, it will be issued to the original payment method. Refunds cannot normally be issued to a different card, bank account, or payment method.
Depending on the product and circumstances, a refund may be issued:
- After the return carrier records the first accepted scan.
- After the product reaches the assigned return location.
- After the product has been inspected.
- Without a physical return when we authorize a returnless refund.
Refund timing is determined by the type and condition of the product and the reason for the return. A refund at the first carrier scan is not guaranteed.
Approved refunds are generally submitted within 10 business days after approval. Your bank, credit-card issuer, or payment provider may require additional processing time before the refund appears in your account.
If more than 15 business days have passed since we confirmed that your refund was approved, contact us at:
European Union 14-Day Right of Withdrawal
This section applies when mandatory European Union consumer-protection laws govern the transaction.
For eligible online purchases delivered to a consumer in the European Union, you may withdraw from the purchase within 14 days after the date of delivery, without providing a reason.
To exercise this right, you must notify us clearly at uniqueholidayhouse@gmail.com before the 14-day withdrawal period expires.
After notifying us, you must return the product without undue delay and no later than 14 days after your withdrawal notice.
You may inspect the product in the same manner that would reasonably be permitted in a physical retail store. You may be responsible for any diminished value caused by handling or use beyond what was reasonably necessary to determine the product’s nature, characteristics, and operation.
For a change-of-mind withdrawal, you are responsible for the direct cost of returning the product unless:
- We agreed to pay the return cost.
- The product was damaged, defective, incorrect, or misdescribed.
- We failed to disclose before purchase that you would be responsible for the return cost.
- Applicable law requires us to cover the cost.
For products that cannot normally be returned through standard postal services, an estimated direct return cost will be disclosed before purchase where required by law.
An eligible EU withdrawal refund will include:
- The product price.
- The cost of the least expensive standard delivery method offered for the order.
Additional costs resulting from your selection of expedited, premium, or non-standard delivery are not refundable unless required by law.
We may withhold the refund until we have received the returned product or you provide acceptable evidence that the product has been returned, whichever occurs first.
The EU right of withdrawal may not apply to certain products, including:
- Rapidly perishable goods.
- Clearly personalized or made-to-order products.
- Sealed health or hygiene products that were opened after delivery.
- Sealed audio, video, or computer software that was opened.
- Digital content whose supply began after you expressly consented to immediate performance and acknowledged the loss of the withdrawal right.
- Other products excluded under applicable EU or national law.
Nothing in this policy limits mandatory legal guarantees or other statutory rights relating to faulty, damaged, unsafe, misdescribed, or nonconforming products.
