01

Return Shipping Costs

Customers are responsible for the cost of returning items. Original shipping charges are non-refundable.

For higher-value returns, WHQ recommends considering a trackable shipping service or shipping insurance. WHQ cannot guarantee receipt of a returned parcel that is not delivered successfully.

02

Refund Process

Once a returned item is received and inspected, WHQ will notify you whether the refund has been approved or rejected.

Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method. The current policy states that refunds are issued within 10 business days of return approval.

03

Late or Missing Refunds

If a refund has been approved but has not appeared yet, first check your bank account. You may also need to contact your card provider or bank because processing times can vary.

If you have completed those checks and still have not received the refund, contact WHQ at info@wholesalehq.co.uk.

04

Exchanges

WHQ only replaces items where they are defective or damaged. If you need an exchange for the same item, contact WHQ by email before returning anything.

Exchange delivery times may vary depending on your location and product availability.

05

Damaged Goods

If goods arrive damaged, contact WHQ as soon as possible and within the required 48-hour reporting window. Include clear photographs of the damaged product, your order information and invoice so the issue can be reviewed.

Depending on the outcome, WHQ may arrange a refund or replacement in line with the returns policy.

06

Sale Items

Sale items are not eligible for refunds or exchanges under the current WHQ returns policy.
