Return and Refund Policy

Your Peace of Mind is Our Promise

Our Promise to You

Building Trust Through Fair and Transparent Policies

Our Commitment

At LecoExpress, we believe that shopping online should be joyful, not stressful. Every order represents a promise — a promise of quality, honesty, and care.

We understand that sometimes, things don't go as expected. Maybe the product you received wasn't what you imagined, arrived damaged, or simply didn't fit your needs. When that happens, we want you to know one thing: you can count on us.

This Return and Refund Policy is our way of keeping that promise to treat you fairly, to listen with empathy, and to make things right whenever something goes wrong.

We don't see returns as complaints. We see them as opportunities to improve, connect, and rebuild your trust.

Why This Policy Matters

Behind every purchase is a story — a customer who believed in a product, a seller who worked hard to deliver it, and a platform that brought them together.

This policy exists to protect all three sides of that story:

  • To give customers confidence that their money is safe.
  • To ensure sellers are treated fairly and respectfully.
  • To keep our marketplace honest, transparent, and human.

When everyone plays their part with integrity, online business becomes not just a transaction — but a relationship built on trust.

When You Can Return or Request a Refund

We'll gladly help you return an item or get a refund if:

  • The item arrived damaged, broken, or defective.
  • The item you received is different from what you ordered (wrong color, size, model, or brand).
  • The item was missing important parts or accessories that were promised.
  • The product is not functioning properly or doesn't meet the advertised quality.

Requirements for Returns

To make sure we can serve you quickly and fairly, please:

  • Report the issue within 3–7 days of receiving your order.
  • Keep the product in its original packaging, unused and in good condition.
  • Include photos or a short description when contacting us — this helps us act faster.

We know your time is valuable. That's why we handle every return with care and urgency.

When Returns Aren't Possible

We're always happy to help, but there are some cases where returns may not be possible — usually for health, safety, or copyright reasons. These include:

  • Perishable goods like food or drinks.
  • Intimate or personal-use items (cosmetics, undergarments, etc.).
  • Downloadable software or digital products.
  • Gift cards, service subscriptions, or "final sale" items.

If an item falls under these categories but arrives damaged or defective, please still contact us — we'll review it personally and find a fair solution.

How to Request a Return

We've made the process simple and human:

Log In

Access your account and go to your Orders page

Request Return

Click "Request Return" next to the item

Explain Issue

Write a brief explanation of the problem

Upload Photos

Add photos if possible to help us understand

Our support team reviews every case within 48 hours and will reach out to guide you on the next steps — whether that's a replacement, refund, or repair.

We believe in communication, not complications.

Return Shipping and Costs

We want the process to be fair for everyone:

  • If the issue is our responsibility (wrong item, poor quality, or damage during delivery), we'll cover all return shipping costs.
  • If the return is due to customer choice (e.g., changed your mind or ordered the wrong size), the shipping cost may be shared or covered by the customer.

We're transparent about every cost — no hidden charges, no small print. Just honesty.

Refund Timeline and Method

Once your returned item reaches us, we'll inspect it carefully. If it meets the return conditions, your refund will be approved and processed immediately.

Refunds are made through the same payment method used for purchase — whether it's mobile money, card, or bank transfer. Depending on your provider, it may take 5–10 business days to appear in your account.

If you prefer, we can issue a store credit — so you can shop again at your convenience.

You'll receive updates at every stage. We don't leave our customers in the dark.

Late or Missing Refunds

If more than 10 days have passed and you haven't received your refund:

  • Double-check your bank or mobile wallet.
  • Contact your payment provider — sometimes they take a bit longer to release funds.
  • If you still need help, message us directly at support@lecoexpress.com.

We'll never leave you waiting or guessing — we'll track it for you until it's resolved.

Our Respect for Sellers

We deeply value the small businesses and entrepreneurs who sell through our platform. To protect their hard work, refunds are only processed after returned items are received and verified.

We take false claims seriously — not to discourage customers, but to protect fairness on both sides. A good marketplace is built on mutual respect, not suspicion.

Damaged Orders on Arrival

We understand how disappointing it feels to open a package and find something broken. If your order arrives visibly damaged or incomplete:

  • Please take clear photos as soon as possible.
  • Contact us within 48 hours of delivery.

Our quality team will assess the situation quickly and ensure you get a replacement or full refund without delay.

We're not just protecting your purchase — we're protecting your peace of mind.
