Christmas gifts · Free guide

A gift problem?
Find your next step.

Wrong size, a purchase you want to cancel, or a gift that does not work? Start with the situation that fits.

Exchange. Cancel. Complain.
Different problems need different next steps.

01 · Faulty goods

Is the gift faulty?

You generally have two years from delivery to complain about defects for which the seller is responsible. Ordinary wear or damage caused by misuse is not automatically covered. Contact the seller promptly after discovering the fault.

  1. Find proof of purchase.
  2. Describe the fault and keep relevant photos.
  3. Write to the seller and keep the message.

02 · Bought in a physical shop

Nothing broken. Just not right.

Exchanges and returns depend on what the shop offered at purchase. Check its deadline, required purchase record and conditions for the item. An exchange policy does not itself promise a cash refund.

03 · Bought online

Check the deadline before Christmas.

For online purchases in Denmark or another EU country, the buyer generally has 14 days from receipt to notify cancellation. Exceptions apply. Some retailers offer a longer Christmas period; keep the terms that applied at purchase.

After timely notification, there are normally a further 14 days to send the goods back.
