Returns and refunds
What you can return, how to do it, and when you get your money back.
When you can return an item
- Faulty, damaged or not as described: tell us within 7 days of delivery or pickup and we'll repair it, replace it or refund you in full, including delivery.
- Wrong item: tell us within 7 days and we'll collect it and send the right one, or refund you in full.
- Changed your mind: unused items in their original sealed packaging can be returned within 7 days. The refund is the item price; return delivery is at your cost.
What can't be returned
- Items that have been used, installed or damaged after delivery, unless they were faulty.
- Opened software, SIM cards, airtime, gift cards and hygiene products such as earphones once unsealed.
- Items with missing parts, accessories or serial numbers that don't match our records.
How to return
- Open the order in the app and choose “Report a problem”, or email hello@sotechy.shop with your order number, what's wrong and photos.
- We'll reply within 2 working days, usually sooner, with how to send it back or arrange collection.
- Bring or send the item with everything that came in the box. We check it within 3 working days of receiving it.
Refunds
- Approved refunds go back to the way you paid (bank account or card) within 5–10 working days. Cash and POS payments in store are refunded by bank transfer.
- If you paid partly with store tokens, those tokens are returned to your wallet.
- Tokens you earned on a refunded order are taken back.
- If you cancel a paid order before it's shipped or ready for pickup, you get a full refund.
Orders from other stores
The same rules apply to items sold by other stores on Sotechy. Report the problem through the app; Sotechy holds the store's final payment until delivery is confirmed and steps in if a store doesn't resolve a valid complaint.
Questions about any of these? Email hello@sotechy.shop, visit us at No. 20 Etete Road, Benin City, Nigeria, or reach us on X (@sotechyshop).
