Refund policy
Last updated: 3 September 2026
We want you to be happy with every piece of equipment you buy from Snowelio. If something isn't quite right, you can send it back within 14 days at no cost to you. Once we've approved your return request, we email you a prepaid return shipping label (or arrange a freight collection for larger machinery) and simple instructions — this page sets out exactly what's covered, how to start a return or exchange, and when to expect your money back.

Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights under applicable Canadian federal and provincial consumer protection laws, including Quebec's Consumer Protection Act — this policy sits alongside those rights, not instead of them.
Eligibility
To be eligible for a return, an item must be new, unused, and still in the condition and packaging it arrived in. This applies whether you're requesting a refund or an exchange.
• Return window: 14 days from the date of delivery.
• Condition required: unused, undamaged, and in original packaging with any manuals, accessories, or inserts included.
• Proof of purchase: your order number or order confirmation email.
• For safety reasons, and because many of our products are engine- or battery-powered outdoor equipment, we're unable to accept returns on items that have been fuelled, started, or show signs of use or assembly — unless the item arrives faulty.
How to return an item
1. Email us at contact@snowelio.shop with your order number and a short note on why you'd like to return or exchange the item.
2. Once we approve the request, we'll email you a prepaid return shipping label together with step-by-step instructions — you won't need to pay for anything or arrange your own courier. For larger machinery, we'll instead arrange a scheduled freight collection directly from your address.
3. Repack the item securely, ideally in its original packaging, attach the label we sent you, and drop the parcel off at your nearest carrier point (or have it ready for collection if a freight pickup was arranged).
4. As soon as we receive and inspect the returned item, we'll process your refund or send your exchange.
Return shipping cost
Returning an item to Snowelio is always free. Once your request is approved, the prepaid label or freight collection we arrange covers the full cost of getting it back to us — this applies equally to straightforward returns, exchanges, and faulty or incorrect items. There is no restocking fee of any kind. The full price you paid is refunded once we've received and checked the item.
Exchanges
If you'd rather swap an item than get a refund, exchanges are available on new, unused products within the same 14-day window. Just let us know at contact@snowelio.shop which item you'd like instead, and once approved, we'll email you the same prepaid return label (or arrange freight collection) to send the original back.
Refund process
|
Step |
Typical timing |
|
Returned item received and inspected |
1–2 business days |
|
Refund issued to your original payment method |
Within 7 days |
|
Funds appear on your bank or card statement |
A further 2–5 business days, depending on your bank |
Refunds are always returned to the original payment method used at checkout — we don't offer store credit as a substitute unless you specifically ask for it.
Inspection
Every returned item is checked when it arrives back with us. If a return doesn't meet the conditions above — for example, it shows signs of use or fuelling we weren't told about — we'll always explain the issue by email before deciding whether to offer a partial refund or send the item back to you.
Damaged, faulty, or incorrect items
If your order arrives damaged, faulty, or isn't what you ordered, contact us within 14 days of delivery at contact@snowelio.shop with a couple of photos of the item and its packaging. Once we've confirmed the issue, we'll email you a prepaid return label (or arrange freight collection for larger machinery) and arrange a replacement, exchange, or full refund — you won't be out of pocket for shipping either way.
Your consumer rights
As a Canadian consumer, you have statutory rights under applicable federal and provincial consumer protection laws, including Quebec's Consumer Protection Act, which may include additional protections depending on your province of residence. This policy is designed to work alongside those rights, never to reduce them.
Frequently asked questions

Email contact@snowelio.shop with your order number and a short reason; we'll send the prepaid label once it's approved.

We process refunds within 7 days of receiving your return; your bank may then take a further 2–5 business days to show the funds.

Yes, on new, unused items within the 14-day window — just tell us which item you'd like instead.
