Quando accettate i resi?

When do you accept returns?

Pronunciation

'Accettate' — ac-cet-TA-te. Four syllables.

When to use it

Ask about both the time window and the opening hours for processing returns. Some shops only handle returns at specific times or with a specific member of staff.

What it means

'Quando' (when) opens a direct question. 'Accettate' is the second-person plural (voi) of 'accettare' — used to address a shop or company. 'I resi' is the plural of 'reso'. This is a general question that can open a broader conversation about policy.

Variations

I resi si fanno in negozio o online?

Are returns done in store or online?

Asks about channels.

Accettate resi il sabato?

Do you accept returns on Saturdays?

Specific day query.

C'è un ufficio dedicato ai resi?

Is there a dedicated returns desk?

For large department stores.

Mini Dialogue

Cliente: Buongiorno, quando accettate i resi? Commessa: Dal lunedì al sabato, dalle nove alle diciotto. Cliente: E devo portare qualcosa di specifico? Commessa: Solo lo scontrino e l'articolo nella confezione originale.

Customer: Good morning, when do you accept returns? Assistant: Monday to Saturday, from nine to six. Customer: And do I need to bring anything specific? Assistant: Just the receipt and the item in the original packaging.

Cultural Note

Italian shops are typically closed on Sunday (with exceptions in tourist areas and large shopping centres). Monday mornings are often quieter for returns — better service and shorter queues.
