💸 Refund timing by payment method
- Card: we process the refund within 2 business days of approval; your bank shows it within 5–14 days.
- Cash on delivery: bank transfer within 3–5 business days after inspection — send us your IBAN on WhatsApp.

⚠️ Good to know
- Change of mind (including refused or unopened parcels): accepted within 14 days. You pay the return shipping, and we deduct the original delivery cost (even if your order shipped free) plus the payment-gateway fee for card, Tabby or Tamara payments. Cash on delivery: only the delivery cost is deducted. We tell you the exact amount before you confirm the return.
- Our mistake (confirmed defect, wrong item, not as described, counterfeit, damaged or never arrived): we cover all costs — free pickup and a full refund including the original delivery, or a replacement.
- Items that come back used, damaged by the customer or with missing parts are declined and sent back at your expense.
- Card expired or closed? We issue store credit to your account after verifying your identity.
⏱️ The refund process
