1. Eligible items
You can return most items if:
- They are returned within the window shown above
- They are unused, undamaged, and in their original sealed packaging
- You can provide proof of purchase (order number or invoice)
2. Items we cannot accept for return
For hygiene, safety, or commercial reasons, we cannot accept returns of:
- Opened consumables — opened reams of paper, used pens, opened ink/toner cartridges, opened glue, opened correction fluid
- Customised or special-order items — products ordered to your specification (e.g., custom-printed stationery, bulk orders against a specific quote)
- Software, downloadable products, or items delivered electronically
- Items damaged after delivery (other than within a manufacturer’s warranty)
3. How to return an item
Step 1: Tell us first. Email us at info@starlinktrading.com or message us on WhatsApp at +971 55 998 8248 with:
– Your order number (e.g., SL-2026-1234)
– The item(s) you want to return
– The reason (damaged, wrong item, no longer needed, etc.)
– A photo, if the item is damaged or incorrect
Step 2: Wait for confirmation. We will reply within 1 business day with confirmation and return instructions. Do not ship items back without confirmation — we cannot process unannounced returns.
Step 3: Return the item. You may either:
– Drop the item at our warehouse in Ras Al Khor Industrial Area 2 (Sun–Thu, 9:00–18:00), or
– Use a courier of your choice (return shipping at your cost unless the issue is our fault)
Step 4: Receive your refund. Once we receive and inspect the item, we will process your refund within 7–10 business days to the original payment method. For bank transfers, refunds are made to the originating bank account.
4. Damaged, defective, or wrong items
If your order arrives damaged, defective, or you receive the wrong item, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos. We will arrange a free return collection and either:
- Replace the item at no extra charge, or
- Issue a full refund including the original delivery fee
5. Cancelling an order before delivery
If you change your mind before your order has been dispatched, contact us as soon as possible. If we have not yet shipped the order, we will cancel it and refund any payment in full. Once an order has been handed to our delivery partner, the standard return process applies.
6. B2B / wholesale orders
For wholesale orders against a specific quote, returns must be agreed in writing before dispatch. Custom-procured items, special-order brands, or items bought as part of a bulk-discount agreement are non-returnable unless damaged or incorrect.
For approved B2B accounts on 60-day payment terms, returns may be processed as account credit at our discretion.
7. Refunds
Refunds are issued to the original payment method:
- Bank transfers are refunded to the originating bank account within 7–10 business days. Please allow extra time for inter-bank clearing.
- Card payments (when available in the future) are refunded to the originating card.
- B2B account credit is applied to your next invoice.
We do not issue cash refunds.
8. Late or missing refunds
If you haven’t received your refund within 10 business days of our confirmation:
- Check your bank account again — bank processing can take additional time
- Contact your bank
- If you still have not received the refund, contact us at info@starlinktrading.com or +971 55 998 8248 and we will investigate
