Returns & Refund Policy

Unless there's something wrong with the item, unfortunately, we can't offer a refund for any perishable items in case you change your mind about them after dispatching these items. Our returns and refunds policy are following statutory rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Regardless of the reason you use for requesting a refund, we always take your feedback about any product issues seriously and we use this information to continually improve our services.

We’re always looking for ways to improve our service, so your feedback is important to us. To give feedback about damaged items, please follow the process below.

You can request a refund quickly and easily if you discover that there’s a product that

• It doesn’t meet our guarantees of good quality
• You discover that there's something wrong with the product, such as a fault, damage or it's not as described, or if a wrong item was delivered

At Halalo, we work closely with our partner shops and sellers to ensure that all products are checked and delivered to customers in the best possible condition.

As Halalo operates as a marketplace platform, products are supplied and fulfilled by independent sellers listed on Halalo.co.uk.

We aim to respond to all ordinary requests and complaints within 48 hours and if the complaints need further investigation, we will respond within 10 working days.
