1. Return Policy Overview

30-Day Return Window:

We accept returns within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. This gives you plenty of time to try on your items and make sure they're perfect for you.

Condition Requirements:

Items must be unworn, unwashed, and in original condition with all tags attached. Items must be in their original packaging. This ensures we can resell returned items or offer them as exchanges.

Initiating a Return:

To start a return, contact us at support@designgenie.com with your order number and reason for return. We'll respond within 24 hours with return instructions and a prepaid label (if applicable).

Return Approval:

Most returns are approved automatically. We may request photos for damaged or defective items to help us improve our quality control and speed up your refund or replacement.

2. Exchange Process

Free Exchanges:

Want a different size or style? Exchanges are completely free! We provide a prepaid return label and ship your exchange item at no cost to you. This applies to all exchanges within 30 days of delivery.

How to Exchange:

Contact us at support@designgenie.com with your order number and exchange request. Tell us what size or item you'd like instead. We'll send you a prepaid return label and ship your new item as soon as we receive your return.

Exchange Processing Time:

Exchanges are processed within 2-3 business days of receiving the returned item. You'll receive tracking information once your exchange ships. Total exchange time is typically 7-10 business days.

Multiple Exchanges:

Need to exchange more than once? No problem! While we hope to get your size right on the first exchange, we understand fit can be tricky. Additional exchanges are handled the same way.

3. Refund Process & Timeline

Refund Processing:

Refunds are processed within 5-7 business days after we receive and inspect your return. You'll receive an email confirmation once your refund is initiated.

Refunds are issued to your original payment method. If you paid with a credit card, the refund goes back to that card. If you used PayPal, the refund goes to your PayPal account.

Bank Processing Time:

Please allow 5-10 business days for the funds to appear in your account after we process the refund. This timeframe depends on your bank or card issuer's processing schedule.

Unworn & Unwashed:

Items must be in new, unworn condition. They should be clean, unwashed, and free from any signs of wear, odors, or stains.

Original Tags Attached:

All original tags must be attached to the item. Tags include both the brand tag and any size/care instruction tags. Items without tags cannot be accepted.

Original Packaging:

Items should be returned in their original packaging when possible. At minimum, items should be packaged securely to prevent damage during return shipping.

Within 30 Days:

Returns must be initiated within 30 days of delivery. We calculate this from the delivery date shown in your tracking information.

Custom AI-designed items can only be returned if there's a manufacturing defect, printing error, or quality issue. Returns due to design preference changes are not accepted unless we made an error.

🎨

6. Custom Design Returns

Quality Guarantee:

We take pride in our AI-designed custom products and stand behind their quality. If your custom item has any printing defect, color mismatch, or quality issue, we'll make it right.

Defect Reporting:

Please contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos of the issue. Include photos of the entire item and close-ups of the defect. This helps us process your claim quickly.

Resolution Options:

For defective custom items, you can choose: (1) Free replacement with corrected printing, (2) Full refund including shipping costs, or (3) Store credit for 110% of your order value.

No Return Required:

For defective custom items, you typically don't need to return the item. Once we verify the defect, we'll send a replacement or process your refund immediately.

Design Errors:

If we made an error in printing your design (wrong text, wrong colors, etc.), we'll reprint it correctly at no charge. If the error was in your submitted design, returns are not accepted.

7. Non-Returnable Items

Worn or Washed Items:

For hygiene and safety reasons, we cannot accept returns of items that have been worn, washed, or show any signs of use. This policy protects all our customers.

Missing Tags:

Items without original tags cannot be returned. The tags serve as proof that the item hasn't been worn and is in resalable condition.

Customer Damaged:

Items damaged by the customer (stains, tears, alterations, etc.) are not eligible for return. However, items damaged in shipping or manufacturing defects are always accepted.

After 30 Days:

Returns initiated after 30 days from delivery cannot be accepted. Please inspect your items promptly upon delivery to ensure you have time to return if needed.

Exception for Defects:

If there's a defect or error on our part, we'll make it right regardless of the above conditions. We stand behind our products 100%. Contact us and we'll find a solution.

8. Store Credit Option

10% Bonus Credit:

Choose store credit instead of a refund and receive 110% of your order value! For example, a $50 return becomes $55 in store credit. It's a great way to try different designs.

Instant Credit:

Store credit is issued immediately upon return inspection - no waiting for bank processing. You can use it right away on your next order.

Never Expires:

Store credit never expires and can be used on any future purchase. Save it for a special occasion or use it immediately - your choice!

Transferable:

Store credit is tied to your account email. You can use it across multiple orders until the balance is depleted. Check your account dashboard to see your current credit balance.

9. Return Shipping Costs

Customer Preference Returns:

For returns due to sizing issues or change of mind, you're responsible for return shipping costs. However, we provide discounted prepaid labels at reduced carrier rates.

Defect or Error Returns:

If we made an error or the item is defective, we provide a completely free prepaid return label. You'll never pay for shipping when returning a defective item.

Free Exchange Shipping:

All exchanges come with free return shipping, regardless of reason. We want to make sure you get the right size, so we cover both the return and new shipment costs.

International Returns:

International return shipping costs vary by location. Contact us for the most economical return method. For defective items, we'll still cover the return shipping cost.

Photo Documentation:

Please include photos of: (1) the damaged item, (2) the packaging it arrived in, and (3) the shipping label. This helps us file claims with carriers and improve our packaging.

Fast Resolution:

We'll send a replacement right away or provide a full refund - your choice. In most cases, we'll ship the replacement before receiving your return so you're not left waiting.

No Return Required:

For significantly damaged items, we usually don't require a return. Once we verify the damage with photos, we'll send a replacement or refund immediately. You can dispose of the damaged item.

Shipping Damage Claims:

If the damage occurred during shipping, we'll file a claim with the carrier. This doesn't affect your replacement or refund - we handle everything with the carrier on our end.
