Purpose of This Policy
The purpose of this Refund Policy is to:
- Ensure transparency in our return and refund processes.
- Protect the rights of customers and provide a fair resolution process.
- Define the conditions and timelines for refunds and exchanges.
2. Eligibility for Returns and Refunds
A product may be eligible for return or refund under the following conditions:
- Damaged or Defective Products – Items that arrive with visible damage, manufacturing defects, or functional issues.
- Incorrect Orders – Products delivered do not match the order placed (wrong size, wrong color, or wrong product).
- Quality Concerns – If the product does not meet the description or quality standards advertised on the ShopHoply platform.
- Customer Dissatisfaction – In select cases, products may be returned if the customer is not satisfied, provided they remain unused and in original condition.
To qualify:
- Items must be returned in their original packaging.
- All tags, accessories, and manuals must be intact.
- Proof of purchase (order ID, invoice, or payment confirmation) must be provided.
3. Non-Returnable and Non-Refundable Items
Certain items are not eligible for return or refund due to health, safety, or customization reasons:
- Personal care and hygiene products (e.g., cosmetics, innerwear, grooming kits).
- Perishable goods such as food or beverages.
- Customized or personalized items.
- Gift cards, vouchers, and digital subscriptions.
- Clearance or “final sale” items explicitly marked as non-returnable.
4. Return Process
To initiate a return, customers must follow these steps:
- Request Submission
- Log in to your ShopHoply account and navigate to the “Orders” section.
- Select the product you wish to return and provide the reason.
- Submit the request within the eligible return window.
- Review and Approval
- Our customer support team will review your request and may ask for supporting photos or videos.
- If approved, you will receive return instructions and a shipping label (if applicable).
- Return Shipment
- Pack the product securely to prevent damage during transit.
- Ship the product back using the instructed method.
- Inspection
- Once we receive the returned product, our team will inspect it for eligibility.
- Approved returns will proceed to refund or replacement processing.
5. Return Timelines
- Customers must raise a return request within 7–14 days of receiving the product (exact window may vary depending on the product category).
- Items returned beyond the eligible period may not qualify for a refund.
- Refunds will be processed within 7–10 business days of approval.
6. Refund Methods
Refunds will be issued through the original payment method, unless otherwise agreed:
- Credit/Debit Card Payments – Refunds credited back to the card used.
- Digital Wallets/UPI – Refunds transferred to the same account.
- Cash on Delivery (COD) – Refunds processed via bank transfer or store credit.
- Store Credits – Customers may opt for store credit to use for future purchases.
Note: Processing times may vary depending on banks, payment gateways, and third-party providers.
7. Exchange Policy
Instead of refunds, customers may choose to exchange products for:
- A different size or color (if available).
- A replacement item of the same type in case of damage or defects.
Exchanges are subject to stock availability. If unavailable, a refund will be processed.
8. Shipping Costs
- If the return is due to ShopHoply’s error (wrong item, defective product), we will cover return shipping costs.
- If the return is initiated due to customer preference (e.g., dislike, wrong choice), the customer may be responsible for return shipping fees.
- Shipping charges from the original order are generally non-refundable.
9. Order Cancellations
- Customers can cancel orders before dispatch for a full refund.
- If the order has already shipped, cancellation requests will be treated as a return, and return policy rules will apply.
10. Late or Missing Refunds
If you haven’t received a refund yet:
- Check your bank account or digital wallet.
- Contact your payment provider or bank—it may take time for refunds to reflect.
- If you’ve done all of the above and still haven’t received your refund, contact ShopHoply customer support for assistance.
