Right of Withdrawal & Cancellation

Cannstatt Classic Mercedes Parts wants you to buy with confidence. This page sets out your legal right to cancel an order, how the process works for our used and OEM parts, 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. Trade/B2B account orders are governed by separate commercial terms and are not covered by this notice.

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 size and weight of many parts we sell (engines, panels, glass, trim), please contact us before arranging return shipping so we can advise on safe packaging and courier options.

EU Customers — 30-Day Cancellation Policy

If you are a consumer ordering for delivery within the European Union, you benefit from the same 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 nature of our parts (often large, heavy, or fragile), we strongly recommend contacting us first to confirm the safest and most cost-effective 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 used and second-hand parts

Many of the parts we sell are genuine used OEM components. The 30-day right of withdrawal applies to these in the same way as to new items. It is not affected by an item being second-hand — 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 a part shows signs of use, fitting, or damage beyond what's needed to establish its nature and function, 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:

  • Parts made or personalised to your specification (e.g. custom-cut trim, bespoke fabrication)
  • 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 installed or fitted to a vehicle
