Needs-24, as well as commercial Marketplace Sellers on Amazon.de, offer returns for most items within 30 days of receipt of shipment. You will find the applicable conditions on this page.
Note: We will issue the refund, for a product shipped by Amazon, once the return is processed within 14 days and confirm it with an automated e-mail. You can see the refund in your bank account or credit card statement, in maximum 7 days after the refund is issued. In certain circumstances refund timeframes might be longer.
This in no way restricts your statutory right of withdrawal. You will find the details of your statutory right of withdrawal in item 3 of our Conditions of Sale. Information on your right of withdrawal for Marketplace Sellers can be found in their Returns Policy.
