Starter wording

Hi there - here are the next steps for your return. Please follow the return label instructions included in the email or support message we sent. Before shipping anything back, confirm that the item, packaging, and return window match our current policy. If the label is missing, expired, or unclear, send us your order number and the issue you are seeing so we can review the next policy-available support step.

Before you use it

  • Confirm whether the return is approved, pending review, customer-paid, prepaid, exchange-related, or exception-based.
  • Do not promise a prepaid label, refund, replacement, or carrier outcome unless your current policy supports it.
  • Ask for order number and label issue details, not sensitive payment data.
  • Keep label wording separate from final refund timing where applicable.
