The return clock may start before the box arrives.

Most indexed policies use delivery, receipt, or possession. One public help page uses purchase-date wording. Pick the seller before trusting a generic “14-day return” promise.

The wording that changes the date

Which event starts each indexed return clock?

The table is readable without running the calculator. It covers the ordinary change-of-mind path for the named direct-order scope, not defects, shipping damage, dealer sales, or legal rights.

Return-clock questions

The date is only half the rule.

Does an e-bike return window start at purchase or delivery?

It depends on the seller's current wording. In this source-checked index, most policies use delivery, receipt, or possession wording, while Aventon's public return help uses purchase-date wording. Always use the event named by the exact policy.

Why does Skinflint count the entered date as day one?

That produces a conservative contact-by date one calendar day earlier than a day-zero interpretation. The page also shows the outside edge so the counting choice is visible rather than hidden.

Can I still return the bike if the date has not passed?

Not necessarily. Riding, mileage, opening the shipment, missing packaging, damage, promotions, and authorization requirements can close or reduce the ordinary return path before the clock ends.

Is this a legal deadline calculator?

No. It is a conservative planning tool for published seller terms. Defects, shipping damage, financing, dealer purchases, and rights under applicable law can follow different rules.

Before assembly, not after regret
