6.2 Cancellation / withdrawal of an order
The Customer Contract Regulations (2013) allows the Customer to exercise a right of cancellation within a 14 day-period. In which case, from the time of receipt of goods the Customer may inform CorgiModelClub of their decision to cancel, without being required to give any justification or to pay any penalty fee, according to the following procedures:
- By returning goods with the appropriate returns form
- By clearly informing Customer Services by letter, e-mail or telephone (0333 030 7273 (Calls to 03 numbers cost no more than a national rate call from a landline. Refer to your service operator for mobile phone charges). Open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Closed Christmas and Easter Day).

Products must be returned in their original condition and packaging, as delivered to the Customer, and must not present any signs of disassembly, installation or use.
The Customer expressly recognises that the right of cancellation does not apply, in particular, to unwrapped products that cannot be returned for sanitary reasons, personalised or customised goods, or audio and video items once they have been unsealed.
Exercising the right of cancellation under the aforementioned terms confers the right, for the Customer, to refunding of the sums paid, including initial delivery costs (standard tariff), within 15 days from the date at which CorgiModelClub is made aware of the Customer’s decision to cancel or return. Should the delivery costs concern a fixed sum, independent of the number of items delivered, CorgiModelClub will not refund these initial costs (standard tariff) in the event of partial cancellation involving only a portion of the products ordered.
The refund may however be delayed until recovery of the products or until proof of dispatch of said products is provided, the date of reference being the first of these two occurrences.
Any return shipping and transport costs will be borne by the Customer.
