To be completed
Is that the procedure at your store?
This right is sadly inconvenient to the seller, it arises from the consumer rights act, from art. 32 par.1 to be exact. It is a common practice to ommit this provision, but according to the legislation this provision is correct.
Same as above, the provision arises from the act of law. For example, if the customer orders a product worth 30 PLN and chooses to withdraw from the contract, sending the product by courier for 50 PLN, the seller is obligated to refund them for 30 PLN plus the costs of the cheapest delivery, and not the cost incurred by paying the courier company.
