Right of Withdrawal & Cancellation Policy
Right of Withdrawal & Cancellation
Iron Cross Militaria wants you to buy with confidence. This page sets out your right to cancel an order, how the process works for our original and collectable militaria, and includes the standard cancellation form you can use if you'd like to exercise this right.
Applies to: Private (non-business) customers ordering online or by phone/email for delivery within the UK or the EU.
UK Customers — 30-Day Cancellation Policy
If you are a consumer ordering for delivery within the United Kingdom, our store policy gives you the right to cancel your order within 30 days of receiving your goods — more generous than the 14-day statutory minimum under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 — without giving any reason.
- The cancellation period expires 30 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods.
- To cancel, you must inform us of your decision by a clear statement (letter, email, or phone). You may use the model form below, but it isn't compulsory.
- If you cancel, we will reimburse the price paid, including standard delivery cost, within 14 days of receiving the returned goods (or evidence of return).
- You are responsible for the cost of returning the goods to us, unless the item was faulty or not as described.
- Given the age and fragility of many items we sell (medals, documents, uniforms), please contact us before arranging return shipping so we can advise on secure, insured packaging.
EU Customers — 30-Day Cancellation Policy
If you are a consumer ordering for delivery within the European Union, our store policy gives you a 30-day right of withdrawal, extending beyond the statutory EU minimum, as our own store policy.
- You have 30 days from receipt of the goods to withdraw from the contract, without giving any reason.
- To exercise this right, inform us of your decision using a clear statement — the model withdrawal form below satisfies this requirement, or you may write to us in your own words.
- Goods must be returned without undue delay and in any event within 30 days of informing us of your withdrawal.
- Return shipping costs are borne by you, the customer, unless we have agreed otherwise in writing. Given the age and fragility of many of our items, we strongly recommend contacting us first to confirm the safest and most cost-effective, insured return method.
- We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent them back, whichever is earlier.
A note on original and vintage items
Many of the items we sell are original, decades-old militaria — medals, insignia, uniforms, documents, and photographs. The 30-day right of withdrawal applies to these in the same way as to any item. It is not affected by an item's age or original condition — what matters is that the goods are returned in the condition they were received, allowing for reasonable inspection (in the same way you'd handle an item in a shop). If an item shows signs of damage, alteration, or mishandling beyond what's needed to establish its nature and authenticity, we may deduct an amount reflecting that diminished value from your refund.
When the Right of Withdrawal Doesn't Apply
The right to cancel does not apply to:
- Items made or personalised to your specification (e.g. custom engraving or research work carried out at your request)
- Sealed items that were unsealed after delivery and cannot be returned for hygiene or safety reasons
- Goods which by their nature cannot be returned once altered, mounted, or framed at your request
