How can an order be changed after it is placed?
Orders can often be updated shortly after purchase if they have not entered the dispatch process. Log in to your Amazon account and check the order status. If changes are no longer possible, the order may need to be cancelled and placed again. Always act quickly to avoid delays.
How can an order be cancelled before shipping?
To cancel, visit the “Your Orders” section in your account and select the relevant order. If the order has not yet been dispatched, cancellation is usually possible. Once it is in transit, the item will need to be returned after delivery. Prompt action increases the chance of a successful cancellation.
What is the process for returning unwanted items?

How long does it take to receive a refund?
Refunds are processed once returned items are received and inspected. The time for funds to appear depends on the payment method, usually within 5–7 business days. Amazon will confirm by email when the refund has been issued. Bank processing times may vary.
