Return and Exchange Policy

7-Day Return Policy

If you have a change of mind within seven (7) days from the date of delivery, you can always return the item to us and obtain a refund excluding delivery fee through the same mode of payment as the original payment method.

In order for us to accept your return and process your refund, please ensure that the item meets the following criteria:

  • The item has to be unused and unopened;
  • The item has to reach us within seven (7) days from date of delivery; and
  • The item has to be returned with the original receipt and in its original packaging box, together with the warranty card, product tags and instruction manuals intact. We reserve the right not to provide any refund if the above criteria are not met. We also do not provide refunds for items that were on clearance and/or on offer.

To process your refund, please email us at email@cathayphoto.com.sg with the following format for us:

Subject: Refund request (Your order number) 
Order number: 
Name: 
Contact number: 
Reason for return: 
Retail store for return: Peninsula Plaza

After we have acknowledged your refund request, you must return the item at your preferred retail store. The returned item will be inspected by our staff and if the above criteria are met to our satisfaction, the amount (less administrative charges, where applicable) will be refunded to you within five (5) working days through the same mode of payment as the original payment method.

If you had paid via bank transfer or PayNow, please note that we will only remit refunds to the same local bank account and the name of the bank account holder must match the payor’s name/information. Please also note that we only remit refunds domestically and cannot remit refunds outside of Singapore.

If you had paid via Stripe, our preferred online payment platform, please note that Stripe charges an administrative fee of 3.4% + S$0.50 for every successful card charge, and in cases of refunds to customers, Stripe does not return this fee. You can read about this here.
