If you don't use our Return Service

We recommend consumers with residence in Germany to make use of our return service, if the value of the returned good exceeds 40 EUR and if the goods had been fully paid. We kindly ask you to make sure to send the items back with adequate postage. In general we will pick up bulky goods directly from you.

Important notice: Please always send sufficiently paid parcel to us. Our obligation to bear the costs does not imply the reverse conclusion, that you are entitled to return all parcels unpaid. Transport companies charge a reasonable extra fee, which should avoided last but not least in the interest of our customers. Furthermore, unpaid or insufficiently paid parcels require more processing time, i.e your return and refund will slow down considerably.
If you would not like to use the Budoten-Return-Service - for whatever reason - we kindly ask you to return your parcel sufficiently paid to us.
According our return policy we refund any surcharge for special treatment of your parcel (e.g. express-delivery, bulky goods etc.) only to that amount as it would be charged to Budoten in case Budoten would had been instructing a transport company by himself. It is for that reason, that we ask you to concact Budoten before you send back any goods on your own. Thus we can discuss the matter. In most cases you will get a parcel label for the return of the goods or we organize a pick up of the times in question.

Please note: Costs of not agreed returns of goods for which the transport companies charge extra money due to exceeding standard weight or dimension limits will be refunded only up to the costs which had been charged to Budoten in case Budoten would had been instructing a transport company by itself.

Complaints: Damaged Goods, Damage in Transit

If you have received damaged goods, please check first, if it might be due to damage in transit. You will get further information in the document "Damage in Transit".

Shipping Package

We recommend to use the outer shipping package for the return as well. In case it can not be used anymore, please pay special attention to pack the goods carefully in order to avoid any risk of damage in transit as fas as it concerns your side. Budoten bears the risk of transport in case of returns, but you should pack the goods negligently as this can consitute entitlements of claims of compensation in case of damage in transit.

Always include the sales package. The sales package is part of the item. To resell items the sales package is essential. Never use the sales package as outer package for the return! The sales package will usually not prevent damage in transit as it is not made for transportation purposes. In case of disregard of this information damages in transit must be expected.

Exclusion / Limitation of Returns

You can check the goods. But if you make use the goods, i.e. using them like an owner, this usage might be subject of paying a compensation which might reach even 100% of the value which means, that the return does not effect anything and there will be no refund.
Such a usage might be e.g. if you wash the uniform.
For the rest you can avoid paying compensation for value in respect of deterioration in the goods as a result of their proper use, if you do not use the goods the way you use your own property and refrain from doing anything that would curtail the value of the goods.

The return is excluded in particular:

  • custom made articles (e.g. badges, embroideries, prints)
  • unsealed audio- or video recordings, unsealed software
  • individually produced mat-areas

As for the Right of Withdrawal:

  • 14 days after receipt of delivery goods may not be returned any more.
  • The customer will have to bear the costs for any depreciation, if it is not only result of inspecting the goods. The customer should handle the ordered product carefully to avoid these costs in the case of a return.The same applies, if the sales package is missing or severely damaged.
  • Special attention should be paid to return items completely including the sales package and that uniforms or clothes should be folded and packed carefully as lack of those obligations might be a reason for charging compensations on to you because the items can not be sold as "new" anymore.

Please always note:

  • Be careful with the goods!
  • Check the goods in the same way you can check it in a local store!
  • Pack and fold clothes carefully!
  • Always include the the perfect sales package in perfect state in the well packed parcel!
  • Never use the sales package as transport package. Use instead a sufficient padded outer packing to avoid damage in transit.

Cost Transfer in other Cases

We ask for your understanding, that you will have to bear the costs of the return in other than the above mentioned cases, i.e. if the value of the returned goods does not exceed 40 EUR or if the returned goods had not been paid yet. If the value of the returned goods exceeds 40 EUR we will bear the costs of the return. Under 40 Euro you may choose a cost efficient shipping mode (e.g. "book post", "trade sample" or "small parcel"). Please note, that your shipment with these shipping modes does not include a transport insurance plus you don't have a proof for your return. To make it sure, you should use therefore always an insured, trackable mode of shipping (e.g. certified mail or parcel).

Information for cost efficient shipping modes for your return you will find at:

http://www.deutschepost.de/

We would be pleased to send you a parcel label for your return; prime costs will reduce the refund, if we must not bear the costs of return according the legal provision and the conditions of the contract of sale.

Notes for Resellers, Retailers, Clubs, Companies and other Institutions

As the right of withdrawal / revocation does effect only private consumers, you have to bear the costs of return. Of course we will send you a return label upon request; but the costs of return will be deducted from the refund. If you return the goods on your own, please note, that sufficient paid postage is mandatory for the return. Any additional costs for the return due to insufficient postage will be charged on to you.

In case of legitimate complaints we provide you a parcel label for your return free of charge. Just send an email to info@budoten.com.

 

According our return policy we refund any surcharge for special treatment of your parcel (e.g. express-delivery, bulky goods etc.) only to that amount as it would be charged to Budoten in case Budoten would had been instructing a transport company by himself. It is for that reason, that we ask you to concact Budoten before you send back any goods on your own. Thus we can discuss the matter. In most cases you will get a parcel label for the return of the goods or we organize a pick up of the times in question.

Why don't you like unpaid returns?

  1. Unpaid returns or parcel with inadequate postage cause reasonable additional costs. The right of withdrawal / revocation does not include automatically the right of returning the goods as unpaid or inadequate postaged parcel. Nevertheless we will accept the parcel in general.
  2. We provide a return label for a simple and comfortable return to us.
  3. DHL / German Post charges 12,- EUR as compensation for unadequate postage. We will charge this amount which arises in addition to the costs which must be beard by us. The postcontractional obligation of minimizing any costs is binding to any party. For that reason you should use our (in most cases free of charge) return service.
