We regret to inform you that we are unable to accept the return of the aforementioned merchandise.

Our company policy, clearly stated at the point of sale and on our website/receipts, stipulates that all returns must be initiated within {{number_of_days}} days from the date of purchase.

We understand that this may be disappointing, and we encourage our customers to review our return policy thoroughly at the time of purchase to avoid such situations.

Further Action (Optional)

The merchandise will be held at our {{location}} for {{holding_period}} days, until {{holding_end_date}}, for you to arrange collection. If the merchandise is not collected by this date, it will be disposed of or donated at our discretion.
