Customs, Duties & Taxes
EU Orders:
- Orders shipped within the EU may be subject to customs, duties, and import taxes at the border. These costs are the customer's responsibility. If you decline the delivery, any fees will be deducted from your refund.
Rest of the World (Ex UK & EU):
- All orders shipped outside the EU will be subject to import duties and taxes, which are not included in the retail price. If you refuse to pay customs duties, a refund will only be processed once the product is returned.
Note: Sales taxes and duties on international orders are non-refundable. We recommend consulting your local customs bureau for potential refunds on duties.
Returns & Exchanges
We want you to love your Meli Melo purchase. If for any reason you wish to return an item, you can request a refund or exchange within 14 days of receiving your order, and the item must be returned within 28 days.
- Customer-Paid Returns: You are responsible for organizing and covering return shipping costs. Please use a reputable courier with tracking, as Meli Melo is not liable for lost packages without proof of delivery.
- Items must be in perfect, unused condition, with original packaging. We cannot process returns for damaged or used items, or for bespoke products.

Return Exclusions for Discounted Items: Items purchased on sale with a discount of 30% or more are not covered by our product warranty. These items are sold “as-is” and are not eligible for replacement, repair, or refund under warranty claims. Please review the condition and terms of sale before making your purchase.
Refund Process:
- Refunds will be processed once the item is returned to us. Please allow 5-15 days for international banks to process your refund. Bank charges for international transactions are not refundable.
Exchanges:
- We issue a credit note for exchanges. For non-sale items, if the new item is of lesser value, we will refund the difference.
