Return Instructions

How to Start a Return

Contact customer service before sending your return

Email [email protected] to receive the correct return instructions and return details. Do not send merchandise to an address found elsewhere.

  1. Email customer service within 30 days of receiving your order.
  2. Include your full name, order number and the email address used for the purchase.
  3. Identify each item you want to return and briefly explain the reason.
  4. Wait for the correct return instructions and return details before shipping anything.
  5. Pack the approved items securely with their original tags, packaging and included components where applicable.

Returns sent without contacting customer service first may not be accepted or processed.

Return Cost

Free Return Shipping

Return shipping is free for eligible returns that are approved within the 30-day return window and completed according to the instructions provided by customer service.

Do not arrange or pay for an independent return method unless customer service specifically instructs you to do so. Shipping costs from an unapproved return method may not be reimbursed.

Refunds

Refund Process

After a returned item is delivered, it will be inspected to confirm that it meets the return requirements.

Approved refunds are processed within 3–15 days after the returned item is received and inspected. The refund will normally be issued to the original payment method.

The time required for the refunded amount to appear may also depend on the payment provider or financial institution.

If a returned item does not meet the eligibility or condition requirements, the refund may be declined.

Exchanges

Exchange Requests

Contact customer service before requesting an exchange. Exchange availability depends on current stock, product eligibility and the return instructions provided for the order.

When a direct exchange is unavailable, customer service may provide instructions for returning the original item for a refund. A replacement size, color or product may need to be ordered separately.

Order Issues

Damaged, Defective or Incorrect Items

Contact customer service as soon as possible if an item arrives damaged, defective or different from what was ordered.

Include the following information in your message:

  • Your full name and order number
  • The affected product name, size and color
  • A description of the issue
  • Clear photographs of the item and packaging where helpful

Keep the product, original packaging and shipping materials until customer service provides the appropriate instructions.

Sale Items

Final Sale Rules

A discounted item is not automatically final sale. An item is treated as final sale only when it is clearly identified as “Final Sale” or “Non-Returnable” on the applicable product page, cart or checkout information.

Items marked final sale are not eligible for a standard return or exchange unless they arrive damaged, defective or incorrect, or a return is required by applicable law.
