How to Get a Unibling Refund for Faulty Lenses.
Unibling refunds are per-order, and their own policy gives you a 14-day window. Miss it and you still have tools, a clear email, a card-issuer chargeback. Here's the playbook.

The short answer
Unibling only sells one-off contact lens and accessory orders. There are no subscriptions or recurring charges. To cancel an order, email service@unibling.com within 2 hours of payment, before it's processed, and you'll get a refund within 10 business days. Once an order has been processed, you can return it within 14 days of delivery, but only if it's unopened, undamaged, unused and unexpired. You pay the return postage, original shipping and insurance aren't refunded, and money only goes back to the original payment method. For faulty or wrong-colour lenses, their FAQ asks you to email photos within 24 hours of delivery.

How long does a Unibling refund take?
Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.
Note Unibling’s own policy works on a 14-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.

Refund FAQ for Unibling
Email **service@unibling.com** within **2 hours of paying**, before the order is processed. Include your order number, your contact details and why you're cancelling. A clear subject line like "Cancel order #12345" helps. Unibling says it replies within 12 hours and refunds cancelled orders within **10 business days**. There's no cancel button in your account and no online cancel form, so email is the only official route. Once the 2-hour window has passed or the order has been processed, you'll need to wait for delivery and use the 14-day return process.
