Lidl UK return policy
For non-food special items bought in store, you can return them for a full refund within 30 days if you change your mind, provided they are in their original packaging, re-saleable and you have the receipt. Faulty non-food items can be returned within 12 months. Food has no stated time limit, and Mystery Boxes have their own 28-day rules.
What Lidl UK says
If you simply change your mind about a non-food specials item purchased at one of our stores, you may still return the product to store for a full refund within 30 days of purchase.

The details
| Days to return | 30 days |
|---|---|
| Refunds a price drop | No, return it and buy it again |

The 30-day window applies only to change-of-mind returns of non-food specials items bought in store, and needs the original packaging, re-saleable condition and the receipt. Faulty non-food specials can be returned within 12 months for a replacement (where available) or full refund; after 12 months, contact Customer Services. Food and grocery returns have no stated time limit. Multi-buy items are refunded at the full price less the proportionate discount. Mystery Boxes have a separate 28-day window and cannot be returned in store. The page does not address online orders generally, or price adjustments.

More than this page shows
Lidl UK also publishes 2 categories it excludes, and whether the window runs from the purchase or the delivery. Those fields, and the deadline for a given purchase date, come back from the API rather than being listed here.
See what the API returnsWhat the law gives you in the United Kingdom
For anything bought online you have 14 days from the day it arrives to cancel for any reason, then another 14 days to send it back, and the retailer has 14 days to refund. That right doesn't cover things bought in a shop, personalised items, perishables, or sealed media once opened (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013).
This applies on top of whatever Lidl UK offers, and sometimes gives you more.
