2. Return Eligibility & Timeframes Important: Palkhi Fashion primarily accepts returns only for damaged or defective clothing. Returns or exchanges for any other reason (e.g., change of mind, styling preference, or sizing issues) are granted on a case-by-case basis and require prior approval from our team.

2.1. Two-Step Timeframe:

• Step 1: Notification: You must email us to initiate a return or exchange request within 2 calendar days of the confirmed delivery date ("Receipt Date") as indicated by the carrier. Requests made after 2 days will not be accepted.

• Step 2: Return Window (15 Days): If your request is approved, the package must be postmarked/shipped back to us within 15 calendar days of your original delivery date.

2.3. Non-Returnable Items: The following items are Final Sale and are not eligible for return or exchange under any circumstances:

• Customized items (including custom stitching or measurements).

• Items altered at the customer’s request.

3. Fees: Restocking & Shipping EXCEPTION: If the return is due to a verified error, damage, or defect on our part, NO fees will apply (see Section 7). For all other returns (e.g., Change of Mind, Sizing), the following fees apply:

3.1. Return Shipping Costs:

• Customer Responsibility: Customers are responsible for all return shipping costs for both Domestic and International orders. You must ship the item back using a carrier of your choice (e.g., DHL, FedEx, UPS) at your own expense.

• Optional Prepaid Label: For your convenience, we can provide a prepaid return shipping label upon request. Because our items vary in size and weight, the exact Return Label Fee will be calculated and quoted to you when you request the return. If you accept and use our label, this calculated fee will be deducted from your final Store Credit (for returns) or from the value of your item before applying it to the new exchange item (for exchanges).

3.2. Restocking Fee (10%): (Applies to both Domestic and International orders)

• For Returns: A 10% Restocking Fee will be deducted from the total refund amount. This covers inspection, steam pressing, re-packaging, and administrative processing.

• For Exchanges: The 10% Restocking Fee is WAIVED for exchanges.

4. Return Procedures (How to Initiate) 4.1. Step 1: Initiate & Provide Proof Contact Palkhi Fashion Customer Service at info@palkhifashion.com within 2 days of delivery. Your email must include:

• Order Number.

• Product SKU(s).

• Reason for Return.

• MANDATORY: Clear Picture and Video proof showing the condition of the item or the specific defect.

4.2. Step 2: Approval & Authorization Our team will review your request. For non-defective items (e.g., change of mind), approval is at the sole discretion of the team.

• If approved, you will receive a Return Authorization (RA) number and our return shipping address. If you requested a prepaid shipping label, your custom label and the exact fee deduction will be provided to you at this time.

4.3. Step 3: Ship Pack the item securely.

• Ship the package using a trackable service of your choice, or attach the prepaid label (if requested) and drop it off at the designated carrier location.

• You must email us the tracking number immediately after shipping.

• Important: The package must be scanned by the carrier within 15 days of the original delivery date.

5. Exchange Procedures & Balance Calculation This section applies if you are exchanging an item due to sizing or change of mind. 5.1. Inspection First: We will not ship the new exchange item until the original item is received, inspected, and approved at our facility. 5.2. Exchange Value Calculation:

• (Original Item Price) = Exchange Value * (Restocking Fee Waived).

• Note: If you opted to use a Palkhi Fashion prepaid return label, the quoted Return Label Fee will be deducted from your Exchange Value. 5.3. Price Differences:

• Lower Price: If the new item costs less than your Exchange Value, the remaining balance will be issued as Store Credit.

• Higher Price: If the new item costs more than your Exchange Value, we will send you an invoice for the difference. This balance must be paid before we ship the new item.

6. Standard Returns (Refunds) This section applies if you are returning an item for a refund (Change of Mind/Sizing). 6.1. Inspection: Upon arrival at our facility, all returns undergo a strict quality inspection. 6.2. Refund Calculation (Store Credit): Upon successful inspection, we will issue your refund as Store Credit.
