How are deposit refunds processed for Brick rentals, and when will I receive my refund?
When renting products from Brick, a deposit is typically held at the start of the rental. This deposit is automatically refunded after the rental ends and the product is returned. Below, we provide a detailed explanation of the refund process, typical timelines, and factors that may affect when you see the refund in your account.
Overview of Deposit Refunds
Deposits are held as a pre-authorization or temporary charge at the start of the rental.
Once the rental ends and the product is returned, the deposit is automatically refunded by Brick.
No additional action is required on your part to initiate the refund.
Typical Refund Timelines
Refunds generally take 1–7 business days to appear in your account after the rental ends and the product is returned.
The exact timing depends on your bank or payment provider. Some banks process refunds faster (e.g., 1–3 days), while others may take up to a week.
How Refunds Are Processed
Refunds are typically processed as a reversal or partial cancellation of the original transaction. This means the refund may not appear as a separate credit on your statement but rather as an adjustment to the original charge.
If you don’t see a standalone credit, check the original transaction for a reduced amount.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting
Why don’t I see my refund immediately? - Banks and payment providers may take several days to finalize the transaction. Allow up to 7 business days for the refund to process.
What if I paid without creating an account? - Refunds for non-account holders follow the same timeline (1–7 business days) and depend on your bank or payment provider.
What should I do if I still don’t see my refund? - Check your bank statement for a partial reversal or adjustment to the original charge. - If the refund is not visible after 7 business days, contact your bank or payment provider for assistance.
