Customer Satisfaction Complaints & Returns

At Smart Living Wholesale Ltd, we are committed to delivering quality products and reliable service. This Returns & Refund Policy outlines your rights under UK consumer law and explains how we handle cancellations, returns, and refunds across all our sales channels.

Our Commitment

We aim to provide a hassle-free returns experience. Whether you purchased from our website or a third-party platform, we strive to ensure your concerns are resolved promptly and fairly. Our policy complies with all applicable UK consumer protection laws, including the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Scope & Eligibility

This policy applies to items sold and fulfilled directly by Smart Living Wholesale Ltd, including those purchased on:

– Our official website: www.smart-living.co.uk

– Authorised third-party platforms such as Amazon, eBay, Debenhams and others.

Important distinctions:

– If the product was sold and fulfilled by Smart Living Wholesale Ltd, this policy applies fully.

– If the product was sold by Smart Living Wholesale Ltd but fulfilled by a third party (e.g., via Amazon FBA), you must follow the returns process of that platform.

– If the product was not sold by Smart Living Wholesale Ltd, please contact the seller you purchased from directly.

Any items mistakenly returned to us that are not eligible under this policy are held at the sender’s own risk. We are not responsible for their safekeeping and may dispose of them if unclaimed after 7 days of receipt.
