Refund policy
At THE ZENOBIA, every piece is crafted with care. However, in rare cases of misprint, manufacturing defects, or courier-related transit damage, we follow a clear and fair process:
📦 Report Timeframe
- You must report any defective, damaged, or misprinted item within 2 days of delivery (maximum 3 days).
· This allows us to raise the claim with our production partner within their permitted time.
🛍 Mandatory Proof Required
To process your replacement, please provide:
- Unboxing video of the product clearly showing the issue
- Photos of the damaged / defective item
- Images of the original packaging & courier cover
- Order number & customer name
🚫 If the unboxing video is missing and we cannot verify the cause, THE ZENOBIA is not liable for refunds or replacements.
After 3 Days
Requests raised after 3 days will incur reprinting charges (product cost), as per ZENOBIA policy, which will not be entertained.
🛍 Courier Mishandling
If the outer package arrives visibly damaged, please ensure:
- Damage is recorded in the courier delivery remarks
· Photos/videos of the damaged courier cover are taken immediately
This helps us file a valid courier claim.
🛍️ Exchange
- Size not right as per your order? Request an exchange within 5 days of delivery; the first exchange is free of cost.
- If a customer wishes to return or exchange a product due to personal preferences (such as choosing the wrong size), we do not provide refunds, only store credits or exchanges. For exchanges, a ₹140 fee applies for the first exchange of the same item, and a ₹200 fee applies for the second exchange of the same item.
- Exchanges are subject to stock availability. If your size is unavailable, you’ll receive a store credit voucher.
- If a defective or wrong item is received, we replace it free of cost once the above proof is submitted.
📦 Returns
- Returns are accepted within 5 days of delivery.
- Instead of refunds, you’ll receive a store credit valid for 12 months.
- A ₹140 return handling fee applies per order (covers pickup, inspection & processing).
- If your area doesn’t support reverse pickup, you may self-ship -we’ll reimburse courier charges up to ₹200 with proof.
