Store returns

Lidl return period by country

Lidl sets its own return period, which can be longer than the law requires. These are the periods we found in each country, next to the legal minimum that applies there anyway.

The store's return period is a voluntary promise. If the item is faulty, the legal guarantee still applies after the return period has ended.

Frequently asked questions

How long can I return items to Lidl?

Lidl gives you 30 days in every country in the table.

When does the Lidl return period start?

The period counts from delivery in every country in the table.

Are returns to Lidl free?

Whether returns are free in Poland and in Spain depends on the order: check the cost before you send the item back. Returns are free in the other countries in the table.

Do I also have a legal right of withdrawal for online orders from Lidl?

For online orders in every country in the table, the law gives you at least 14 days to withdraw without giving a reason, whatever Lidl's own period says.

What if the item turns out to be faulty after the return period?

Then the legal guarantee applies: Lidl's return period does not shorten it. It lasts 3 years in Spain. It lasts 2 years in the other countries in the table.
