Return & Refund Policy
This return information applies only to online purchases by consumers and is not applicable to any purchases made in a Godiva UK store, concession, or by businesses.
At Godiva UK, we are as passionate about customer satisfaction as we are about making chocolate. We hold ourselves to the highest standards, ensuring your order arrives in perfect condition, no matter the weather, with the elegant packaging and quality chocolate you expect from us.
Perishable Items
Please note that due to the perishable nature of our chocolates, returns are not accepted unless the product is faulty, damaged, or incorrect upon delivery. This policy is in line with the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation, and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, which exempts perishable goods from the standard 14-day cancellation right.
Hampers & Product Substitutions
- Hamper Contents: Our hampers may occasionally contain substitutions due to stock availability. However, we ensure that any substituted items will be of equal or greater value, and the total product value remains consistent with the original description. The description of each hamper is updated to reflect any changes, and the price is adjusted accordingly.
- Illustrative Images: Please note that the product items in the image are for illustrative purposes only and may differ from the actual contents.
- Customer Awareness: By purchasing a hamper, the customer acknowledges that the contents may vary slightly from those depicted or described due to availability. Returns or refunds will not be accepted on the basis of content changes, provided the value and quality of the hamper are maintained, and all relevant information was clearly communicated at the time of purchase.
Expiry Dates on Discounted Chocolates
- Best Before Dates: All our chocolates have a "best before" date clearly marked on the packaging. This date indicates the period during which the product maintains its optimal quality.
- Sales & Deals on Chocolates: We offer discounts on chocolates under normal conditions as well as on those with up to 90 days remaining before their "best before" date. We want to ensure that you get the best value while enjoying our products at their finest. We do not sell chocolates with less than 1 week remaining before their "best before" date.
- Customer Awareness: If a customer purchases a discounted chocolate and the "best before" date is clearly stated at the time of purchase, we do not accept returns on these discounted items. If the "best before" date was not clearly communicated or the product has less than 14 days remaining before the "best before" date at the time of delivery, we will accept returns within 14 days of purchase, provided that proof of purchase is presented.
Damaged, Faulty, or Incorrect Products
If you receive a product that is damaged, faulty, or incorrect, please contact us within 14 days of delivery. We will arrange a prompt replacement, refund, or exchange upon receipt of the required documentation. For refunds related to damaged or lost items, please provide proof of purchase.
For damaged items, we also request photographs showing the damage, including images of the damaged item(s), internal and external packaging, and the delivery label.
For lost items, a Non-receipt disclaimer form is required. Disclamer form can be found here.
