1. Returns and Refunds are only accepted in case of a significant manufacturing defect. For example, thread pulls are not considered as defective in handloom clothing. No exchange No Returns because of dislike of colours or patterns or fabric quality.  At times the image colour may vary due to digital photography and light adjustment.

Why a "24 Hour" deadline?

As soon as your order is confirmed, action is initiated at our end. The process of picking, packaging, customising, and logistics starts, and the ordered product has already passed through a couple of phases in most cases. In case a garment has to be readied or customised, the process is already underway.

Please be apprised that Ready To Ship orders are not eligible for cancellations as they are dispatched within 24 hours of the receipt of the order.

And what if I cancel after 24 hours of ordering?

1) Well, we have a provision for that too but do remember - orders cancelled post 24 hours of confirmation are dealt with on a case-to-case basis by our Customer Care team depending on the degree of process completion.

2) We provide a refund for all such orders in the form of a Store Credit only. This Store Credit is redeemable on our Website within a stipulated period from the time of issuance.

3) Please be apprised that it takes a maximum of 2 business days, post the receipt of your cancellation request, for us to cancel your order, and send you a notification via email.

But if I am unable to find an alternative Ethnic Fashion Statement?

In such cases, we ensure that a complete refund (inclusive of the product cost and shipping charges) is initiated at the earliest sans any deductions. We also offer compensation through Store Credit or discount coupons depending upon the order value and delay in communication.

Could there be a delay at Trendia Global because of "unforeseen circumstances"?

We try our best to ensure that your ordered products are shipped out to you in the promised time. Still, there are chances of delay in processing due to unavailability of stock or other unavoidable circumstances. In such a situation, we will send you a formal communication requesting you to :

1. a) Accept a Store Credit of equivalent value, which you may use to purchase an alternate Ethnic Fashion Statement
2. b) Opt to receive a refund of your money.

Oops! I "missed" adding a critical detail while placing the order. Possibility of correcting it?

No worries. Such situations are often encountered when customers forget to :

1) Update their complete shipping details

2) Update measurement attributes

3) Verify or give their consent if required on certain pending notifications within the requested time

As a policy, we try to reach out to our esteemed customers via their registered e-mail addresses. In case of non-receipt of any response, we try to give them a call. If we do not answer in 15 days, we issue a Non-refundable Store Credit against the cancellation of the order, which the customers can use to place future orders with us. We share an update on the same via email as well. 

Remember, we try to keep our customers posted at every stage of their order with us, and it helps to have your inputs at the right time.

Is your package marked as delivered, but you cannot find it?

1. Please wait 48 hours before contacting customer service. A carrier keeps a package delivered prematurely in most cases, and the package will arrive within 48 hours. 
2. In some cases, the package was delivered to a neighbour or placed in a different mailbox. If you can, please ask your neighbours if they have seen the package before contacting customer service. 
3. If you still haven't found the package, please call us on +1 312-392-0189.

Please report all packages as missing or lost within one week of the expected delivery date. You can write a box as missing by emailing customer service at info@trendia.co. If a package is reported as missing > 1 week after the expected delivery date, you will be asked to file a claim with the postal carrier, and we cannot guarantee a replacement.
