At Avahaute, we want every customer to feel confident about their purchase. While we take great care to provide products that meet your expectations, we understand that situations may arise where a refund is needed. Our refund process is built to be fair, transparent, and simple. This policy explains when you qualify for a refund, how refunds are processed, and the conditions that may apply.

1. When You Can Get a Refund

You are eligible for a refund in the following cases:

  • The item is returned within the 30-day return window and passes inspection.
  • You received the wrong item, a defective product, or a damaged product (reported within 48 hours of delivery with photos).
  • The order was canceled before shipment. (If you change your mind, please contact us as soon as possible.)

2. When Refunds May Not Apply

Refunds may be denied or adjusted under these conditions:

  • The item is used, damaged by the customer, or missing parts/tags.
  • The return is made after 30 days from delivery.
  • The product is marked as final sale or non-returnable at the time of purchase.
  • The item is damaged during return shipping due to poor packaging by the customer.

3. How Refunds Are Processed

  • Refunds are issued only to the original payment method (credit/debit card, Google Pay, etc.).
  • Once the returned item is received and inspected, refunds are processed within 5 business days.
  • You will receive an email notification once your refund is approved and released.

4. Shipping Fees

  • If Avahaute is at fault (wrong item sent, defective or damaged product): We will refund the full product price plus any shipping fees paid.
  • If the return is due to customer’s choice (change of mind, wrong color/size): We will refund the product price only. Original shipping charges are non-refundable.

5. Partial Refunds

In certain situations, a partial refund may be issued:

  • The item is returned late but still accepted.
  • Original packaging is missing or there are minor signs of wear.
  • Customer-caused damage that lowers the resale value of the item.

Whenever a partial refund applies, we will always explain the reason before processing it.

6. Damaged or Defective Items

  • Damage or defects must be reported within 48 hours of delivery, along with photos for verification.
  • Customers may choose between a replacement or a full refund.
  • If the item is damaged during return shipping due to poor packaging, the refund may be denied or reduced.

7. Refunds for Canceled Orders

  • Orders canceled before shipment are eligible for a full refund.
  • Once an order has shipped, the regular Return Policy must be followed.

8. Timeline for Refunds

  • Return inspection: within 1 business day of receiving the item.
  • Refund approval & processing: within 1–5 business days after inspection.
  • Bank/Payment provider processing time: additional 2–5 business days may apply.

Total expected refund time: up to 5 business days from the day we approve your return request, plus your bank’s processing period.

9. Transparency & Fairness

  • All refund rules are stated clearly with no hidden conditions.
  • If a refund is denied or adjusted, we provide a written explanation.
  • If the issue is our mistake, we take full responsibility and cover all related costs.

Closing Note

At Avahaute, your trust matters. Every refund request is handled with clarity, care, and professionalism. Our goal is to make sure that when you shop with us, you can do so with confidence and peace of mind

At Avahaute, customer satisfaction and trust are at the core of our values. While we aim to provide handbags that meet high standards of style and quality, we understand that situations may arise where a return is necessary. This Return Policy outlines the conditions, process, and timelines for returning products purchased from Avahaute. Our objective is to make returns fair, transparent, and easy to complete.

Eligibility for Returns

A product may be returned under the following conditions:

  • The return request is submitted within 30 days from the date of delivery.
  • The product is unused, undamaged, and includes all original packaging, accessories, and tags.
  • You received an incorrect item, a defective product, or a damaged product (must be reported within 48 hours of delivery, supported with photos).
  • The order was canceled before shipment (in such cases, cancellation must be confirmed by our support team).

Conditions When Returns Are Not Accepted

To maintain fairness and quality, returns will not be accepted under these conditions:

  • The product shows visible signs of wear, customer-caused damage, or alteration.
  • The return request is made after 30 days from the delivery date.
  • The product is labeled as final sale or non-returnable during purchase.
  • The item is returned without the original packaging, accessories, or tags.
  • The product is damaged during return shipping due to insufficient or improper packaging by the customer.

Return Label

For smooth and trackable returns, customers are responsible for generating or obtaining a valid return label.

  • Customers must use a return label when sending any item back to Avahaute.
  • If the return is due to a Avahaute error (wrong, defective, or damaged item), our support team will provide a prepaid return label at no cost.
  • For all other return reasons (such as change of mind or preference), customers are required to purchase and arrange their own return shipping label.
  • The product must be securely re-packed in its original packaging with all tags and accessories before shipping.
  • Returns shipped without a proper return label may be delayed, misrouted, or declined.

Return Process

  1. Initiate a Return
    • Contact our support team with your order number, product details, and reason for return.
    • Our team will confirm eligibility and guide you through the process.
  2. Prepare the Item
    • Ensure the handbag is unused, in its original condition, and packed with all tags, accessories, and protective packaging.
    • Attach the return label provided in your package to the outside of the box.
  3. Ship the Item
    • Use the official Calve return label to send the item back.
    • Returns sent without this label may result in delays or complications.
  4. Inspection and Approval
    • Once received, your return will be inspected within 1 business day.
    • You will be notified via email regarding the status of your return.
  5. Next Step
    • If the return is approved, the next step (refund or exchange) will be initiated as per the respective policy.
    • If the return does not meet eligibility, our team will provide a written explanation.

Return Shipping Costs

  • If the error is caused by Avahaute (wrong product, defective or damaged item): Avahaute will cover all return shipping costs.
  • If the return is initiated by the customer (change of mind, preference for a different color or size): the customer is responsible for return shipping costs.

Timeline for Returns

  • Approval notification: within 1 business day after inspection.
  • Processing of refund or exchange: within 5 business days after approval.

Exchanges

At Avahaute, we accept exchanges for both defective and non-defective products. If you receive an item that is damaged or defective, we will gladly exchange it at no additional cost once the issue is reported and verified. If you wish to exchange a product for another style, size, or color (non-defective reasons), exchanges are also available, provided the item is unused, returned within the 30-day window, and includes all original packaging and tags. Shipping costs for non-defective exchanges may apply, while defective product exchanges are fully covered by Calve.

Transparency and Fairness

At Avahaute, we believe in clear and open communication. For that reason:

  • All return scenarios and conditions are explained in advance.
  • Customers are always informed in writing if a return is denied or adjusted, along with the exact reason.
  • If the error is on our side, we take full responsibility for correcting it.
  • There are no hidden fees or unexpected deductions.
