01 / Eligibility

What can be returned or exchanged

To keep the process consistent and fair, eligibility is confirmed before a return or exchange is finalized. If you are unsure whether your request qualifies, contact support with your order details and a short description.

  • Eligible cases: within 30 days of delivery and in acceptable condition.
  • Condition standard: unused, unaltered, and free of avoidable wear.
  • Packaging: original packaging is preferred and helps verification.
  • Exchanges: specify the exact replacement variant (size/color/model) to avoid delays.
02 / Refunds

Refund method, timing, and confirmation

Refunds are issued to the original payment method after eligibility is confirmed and the return outcome is approved. Timing depends on the review step and payment provider processing timelines.

  • Refund destination: original payment method used at checkout.
  • Timing note: banks and payment providers may take additional time to post funds.
  • Partial outcomes: if only part of an order is returned, the refund reflects the approved items.
  • Communication: support will confirm the outcome and next steps once review is complete.
04 / Exchanges

Exchanges, replacements, and variant changes

Exchanges typically mean replacing an item with a different variant of the same product (size, color, model). Replacements apply when there is a verified issue such as damage in transit or an incorrect item received.

  • Variant clarity: specify the exact variant name (and provide a link if possible).
  • Availability: exchange options depend on current stock at the time of processing.
  • Verified issues: photos of the item and packaging help confirm replacement eligibility.
  • Best practice: include what you want as the preferred outcome (exchange vs. refund).
05 / Exceptions

Common special cases

Some scenarios require additional verification. If you encounter any of the situations below, contact support with the listed information.

Item arrived damaged Photos of the item, outer box, internal packaging, and shipping label.
Wrong item received Photo of the item received + photo of the label on the package.
Missing parts Photo of everything received + packaging condition.
Delivered but not received Confirm nearby locations and household members first; then share tracking details.
06 / Preparation

How to prepare a request

Most delays come from missing order details or unclear issue descriptions.

  • Order identification: order number + email used at checkout.
  • Item identification: product name and variant (size/color/model).
  • Reason: short, factual reason (change of mind / defect / incorrect / missing).
  • Evidence: clear photos for condition-based requests.
  • Preferred outcome: refund, exchange, or replacement.
