Returns & Refunds Policy

Last updated: 24/08/2025

This policy explains how returns, exchanges, and refunds are handled for orders placed on our website.

Eligibility Window

  • Returns are accepted within 14 days from the delivery date.

Condition of Items

  • Items must be unused, unwashed, undamaged, with all original tags and packaging.
  • Please try garments without removing tags and avoid transfer of perfumes, deodorants, or makeup.

Non‑returnable Items

  • Customized or altered items (if any)
  • Final‑sale items clearly marked as “Non‑returnable”
  • For hygiene reasons: intimate apparel (if offered) and similar categories as stated on product pages

Return Process

  • Email h.m.qandahar@gmail.com within the 14‑day window with:
    • Order number
    • Item(s) to return
    • Brief reason and photos if there is damage/defect
  • Wait for return authorization and instructions before shipping the item back.
  • Pack securely using original packaging where possible; include all accessories/freebies.

Return Shipping Costs

  • Return postage is the customer’s responsibility unless the item is defective or an error is attributable to us.
  • For international returns, mark the shipment as “Returned goods” to avoid duplicate duties; any carrier return-to-origin fees are the customer’s responsibility unless it was our error.

Refunds

  • Method: Refunds are issued to the original payment method once the return is received and inspected.
  • Timeline: Please allow 5–10 business days after inspection for refund processing; bank/card posting times may vary.
  • Deductions: Original shipping charges, Cash‑on‑Delivery fees (if ever offered), duties/taxes, and courier return fees are non‑refundable unless the return is due to our error or a confirmed defect.

Exchanges

  • If a different size/color is needed, request an exchange in the initial email.
  • Exchanges are subject to stock availability. If unavailable, a refund will be issued per the terms above.

Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items

  • Report within 48 hours of delivery with photos/videos showing:
    • Outer box and shipping label
    • Inner packaging
    • The item and the issue (defect/damage/wrong item)
  • After validation, we will offer a replacement, store credit, or refund, and we will cover return shipping where applicable.

Lost, Delayed, or Tampered Parcels

  • If tracking shows no movement for an extended period, contact us; we will coordinate a courier trace.
  • Resolutions (replacement/refund) are provided after the courier’s investigation confirms loss.
  • If a parcel arrives tampered, photograph the package before opening and report immediately.

Undeliverable or Refused Deliveries

  • If an order is returned to origin due to incorrect address, missed delivery attempts, refusal to pay duties/taxes, or refusal upon delivery:
    • We can re‑ship after collecting updated address and re‑shipping fees, or
    • Process a refund minus original shipping and any carrier return fees (unless due to our error).

How to Pack and Ship Returns

  • Use sturdy packaging; include all tags, accessories, and the original invoice or a note with order number and contact details.
  • Use a trackable shipping method and keep the receipt/tracking for your records. We are not responsible for returns lost in transit without proof of delivery.

Refund Exceptions

  • We may decline or reduce a refund if returned items show signs of use, damage, odors, stains, alterations, or missing components not present at delivery.
  • For repeated returns or suspected abuse, we may limit or refuse future returns as permitted by law.
