Policies
Returns & Refunds Policy
Last updated: 26 November 2025
Because prefab homes are large, made-to-order products, returns are more complex than ordinary consumer goods. This policy explains when and how returns and refunds may be available.
1. General Principles
- Most homes are produced specifically to your chosen configuration.
- We therefore encourage you to review all drawings, sizes and specifications carefully before confirming your order.
- This policy does not limit any rights you may have under mandatory consumer protection laws.
2. Return Eligibility
You may request a return only if all the following conditions are met:
- You notify us in writing within 15 days from the date of delivery to your site.
- The home has not been installed, assembled or permanently fixed to a foundation.
- The modules and all components are unused, in original condition and not modified.
- All accessories, hardware and documentation are included.
- The product is adequately re-packed and protected for return transport.
Homes that have been installed, altered, customised on-site, or damaged after delivery are not eligible for return, except where required by law.
3. Return Process
- Request authorisation
- Email support@prefabia.store within 15 days of delivery with your order number, photos and a clear explanation of the reason for return.
- Evaluation
- We will review your request and may ask for additional information or photos.
- If the return is approved in principle, we will provide instructions on next steps and, where applicable, an estimate of return shipping costs.
- Shipping back
- Unless the return is due to our error or a major defect covered by warranty, you are responsible for arranging and paying for return shipping, including insurance and any handling or storage fees.
- Return shipping for prefab homes is complex and expensive. Please consider this before ordering.
- Inspection and refund
- After the returned product is received and inspected, we will confirm whether it meets return conditions.
- Approved refunds will normally be issued to the original payment method, minus any non-recoverable costs (for example, shipping both ways, customs, handling, damage outside warranty).
- Processing time for refunds may take up to 14 business days after inspection, depending on banks and payment processors.
4. Non-Returnable Situations
Unless required by law, we cannot accept returns or provide refunds in the following situations:
- Change of mind after installation or significant on-site modification;
- Damage caused by incorrect installation, poor foundation, improper handling or lack of site preparation;
- Damage caused by extreme weather, natural disasters or events beyond reasonable control;
- Customised or heavily modified configurations designed specifically for your project, where re-sale is not feasible;
- Products not purchased directly from prefabia.store.
5. Defective or Incorrect Products
- If you believe the home has a manufacturing defect or does not match the agreed specifications, contact us as soon as possible with detailed photos and description.
- We may arrange inspection by technicians or request additional evidence.
- If we confirm a defect or significant non-conformity, we may, at our discretion and subject to the Warranty Policy, provide one or more of the following:
- Repair or replacement parts;
- Replacement of a module;
- Reasonable compensation or partial refund;
- Return and full or partial refund, depending on the circumstances.
6. Cancellations Before Production / Shipment
- Orders cancelled before production or procurement starts may be eligible for a full or partial refund, depending on costs already incurred.
- Once production or procurement has started, cancellation fees may apply. If the home is already in transit, it will be treated as a return under this Policy.
