5. Return Inspection & Approval

All returned items must be received and inspected by The Nicolétte House before a refund or exchange can be approved.

The returned item must match the condition documented in the original unboxing video and submitted claim. No additional damage, defects, signs of wear, or alterations may have occurred after the claim was submitted.

Customers are responsible for securely packaging returned items to prevent damage during return shipping. Please use appropriate protective packaging and cushioning.

Refunds or exchanges will only be approved if the returned item passes our inspection and meets all eligibility requirements.

If any additional damage, defects, or discrepancies are identified during inspection, we reserve the right to decline the exchange or refund request. In such cases, the item will be shipped back to the customer, and the customer will be responsible for all additional shipping costs, including return shipping and reshipment fees.

If both the original item and its replacement are confirmed to be defective, all applicable shipping costs and transaction fees will be waived.

7. Refund Processing Time

Approved refunds are typically processed within 7–14 calendar days from the date we receive the returned item. The time required for funds to appear in the customer's account may vary depending on the payment method, bank, or card provider.
