Returning something to Lidl without the receipt.

Posted 2nd Oct 2017

Lidl returns?

I purchased a Lidl Parkside gas powered glue gun a few
months ago cost £19.99. hotukdeals.com/sea…as.
Used it twice came to use it for the third time over the weekend and it won’t
ignite. Anybody know if I can return to Lidl WITHOUT the receipt? I have
looked everywhere for the receipt but can’t find it.

I've returned something without a receipt.

Very straightforward and excellent customer service....don't go direct to the store, first contact Customer Services on 0800 977 7766 or 0370 444 1234; explain the situation and they will send you out a letter to take to the store where you will then get a refund. At least, that was my experience - the letter arrived within a couple of days.

Aldi normally have a date and year on the item to show proof of manufactured date.
Look around the item then that may enough proof

Looks like they have changed the returns policy from a year ago

Is the item faulty? If so, you only need proof of purchase - this can be a bank / credit card statement if you have it.

Lidl don't accept credit cards, but I always pay cash anyway. I now have a box for all receipts, just in case.

I’d swear blind I tried to use a credit card in Lidl within the last two years and was told they did not accept them.

I live in Weymouth in Dorset, my Lidl local branch has been allowing the use of credit cards for several years now. The problem i recently boughr a toaster and found when i got home and opened the box that it was too small, wanted to return it but apear to have lost the receipt, and have looked every where and i only had a small window in which to return, but i paid with a debit card, and my bank no longer issues statements, everything is on-line, unless i get a mini statement print out from the local branch.

Print a statement from your banking app?

Lidl will not refund, according, to my telephone conversation with them, if is it is mistaken purchase. I bought the wrong size of LED lamp screw fitting which was not suitable for what I wanted. Not a faulty product.

i had an interesting conversation with Lidl Customer Services about a refund without receipt of a Parkside lathe. i said the item was unsuitable as underpowered. I was told the strict policy was refund/exchange with receipt only. i explained that the store manager and the hotukdeals blog said the policy was to refund: a letter would be sent to me which i could present to the store. Once more i was told this is not correct, unless the item is defective. I explained that it was not suitable because is was underpowered and didn't do the job. The adviser asked if i was saying it was defective. I said that i am not an electronics or lathe expert, but it seemed to me it was if it did not do the job. She then agreed to initiate a returns process. Phew!

"Is the item defective?"
*Sound of something being thrown out of a window*
"Yes."
