Return eligibility

Can I get a refund?

Domestic orders only. Items must be full price, with no discount code, automatic discount, promotion, BOGO, shipping discount, or free shipping on the order.

Request a return within 14 calendar days of delivery. Final-sale items are excluded.

You purchase the return label and pay return postage. Original shipping is nonrefundable. There is no additional handling or restocking fee.

Refunds cover the paid merchandise amount and applicable tax, issued to the original payment method after inspection, within five business days of receiving the return. Banks may take longer. Gift-card or store-credit payments return to the same payment method, except where cash is required.

After 14 days, eligible full-price items qualify for store credit through day 30. Full-price orders with free shipping qualify for store credit only.

Can I return discounted items?

Eligible discounts of 50% or less, including 40% promotions, qualify for store credit only within 30 calendar days of delivery. Full-price items also qualify. Final-sale exclusions apply.

You buy the label and pay return postage for full-price, discounted, BOGO, size, fit, and preference returns. No additional handling or restocking fee applies.

Buy 1 Get 1 Free, Buy 2 Get 1 Free, and Buy 2 Get 2 Free: Store credit is available only when every item in the qualifying offer was full price before BOGO, with no additional merchandise discount and no final-sale items.

BOGO on sale or already discounted items is final sale. Offers containing clearance, preorder, made-to-order, sample-sale, or other final-sale items are also final sale.

Credit equals the amount paid for eligible returned items plus applicable tax, excluding original shipping. Partial BOGO credit divides the group's paid amount proportionally by regular prices: four equally priced sets bought for $100 receive $25 per returned set, plus tax. Free items do not receive full retail credit; total credit cannot exceed the amount paid.

What is final sale?

Final-sale purchases cannot be returned for a refund, store credit, or exchange:

  • Kouture Closeouts and/or Clearance Collection items.
  • $40 or $48 sets marked final sale before purchase.
  • Items discounted more than 50%, with the restriction disclosed before purchase.
  • Made-to-order items, preorders, Made For You, custom or personalized orders, and costume orders.
  • Mystery bags, boxes, or merchandise; sample-sale items; and sale lots.
  • BOGO purchases that do not meet the full-price requirements above.
  • Direct purchases at trade shows, pop-up shops, or other in-person sales events.
  • Wholesale orders.
  • All Facebook orders, regardless of price or promotion, including full-price and BOGO purchases.
  • Any other item marked final sale before purchase.

All merchandise markdowns and additional discounts count toward the total discount. Each item's eligibility also depends on the BOGO rules and refund restrictions for the whole order.

Free shipping alone makes an otherwise eligible item store-credit only, not final sale. Defective, incorrect, or significantly misdescribed items are handled separately below.

Do you offer exchanges?

No direct exchanges. Return an eligible item for credit, then reorder at current prices, promotions, availability, and shipping charges. Returns do not reserve stock or extend promotions.

Can international orders be returned?

Eligible international items qualify for store credit only within 30 calendar days of delivery, including full-price items and discounts of 50% or less. Eligible BOGO purchases must meet the full-price requirements above. All final-sale exclusions apply, including Facebook orders.

You purchase the return label and pay return postage. Original shipping is excluded from credit. The same condition and mailing requirements apply. Routine original-payment refunds are unavailable.

We cover approved returns for our errors or defects. Address customs charges paid directly to a customs authority with that authority.

What if I purchased from another retailer?

Contact the selling retailer; its policy applies. We do not accept routine direct returns of third-party purchases.

Starting & managing a return

How do I start a return?

Submit eligible return requests through our Return Portal within 14 calendar days of delivery for a refund or 30 calendar days for store credit, depending on eligibility.

Follow the portal instructions and wait for approval before mailing. Include your order number and return authorization details in the package, and send only approved items. You purchase your own return label and pay postage.

For defective, incorrect, or significantly misdescribed items, email info@kandikouture.com instead, as explained below.

What are the return requirements?

Items must be unworn, unused, unwashed, unaltered, and undamaged, with original tags attached and original product packaging and barcode.

Items must be free of stains, makeup, deodorant, perfume, smoke, body odor, and signs of use. Try on dancewear over undergarments. Items worn to class, rehearsals, performances, photoshoots, or events, or damaged through use, washing, or alteration, are ineligible.

Mail within seven calendar days of authorization, based on carrier acceptance or postmark. Keep your receipt and tracking number. Our response delay does not penalize a timely request.

When will I receive store credit?

Approved credit is issued automatically at the carrier's first acceptance scan, not label creation. Item and attached-tag photos may be required before approval.

Credit remains subject to inspection. Incorrect, ineligible, or missing items may cause an adjustment; we contact you first.

Find credit in your return confirmation, email, or account; contact us if missing.

Return credit expires one year after issuance, except where expiration is prohibited or a longer period is required. Purchased gift cards do not expire. The previous $10 Shop Now bonus is no longer offered.

What if my return is rejected?

Approval is subject to inspection. Final-sale, unauthorized, late, or returns that fail our condition requirements may be rejected; we email the reason. No refund or credit applies, and early credit may be adjusted.

To have an ordinary rejected item sent back, you pay the actual return postage. Do not send items contaminated with bodily fluids or unsafe materials. We will contact you about appropriate handling or lawful disposal if received.

Items that arrived defective or incorrect follow the process below.

What if my item arrived defective, incorrect, or different from its description?

Email info@kandikouture.com promptly with your order number, affected item, problem description, and clear photos, before wearing, washing, repairing, or altering it. This also applies to final-sale and Facebook purchases, including confirmed manufacturing, sizing-label, or description errors.

Repairable defect: We provide a prepaid domestic USPS Ground Advantage label, prioritize the repair, and ship it back at our expense.

Unrepairable defect: No return is needed. We replace the same item at no charge if available.

Replacement unavailable: Choose a comparably priced replacement at no charge or credit for the amount paid for the defective item plus $10. If neither works, we review another appropriate resolution, including any legally required refund.

Wrong item or significantly different from its description: We arrange an appropriate correction at our expense.

We cover approved return shipping for our errors or defects. International customers receive an appropriate return method or postage reimbursement.

Use packaging suitable for the supplied label. USPS Ground Advantage cannot use Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express packaging. You are responsible for extra postage caused by incorrect packaging; we explain the cost before arranging another label.

Orders & shipping

Can I modify my order?

Orders process immediately. Changes are not guaranteed; requests do not pause processing or shipping. For urgent requests, call +1 (831) 221-9530 during support hours instead of waiting for email. Calling still cannot guarantee a change.

Ready-to-ship: Approved changes have no change fee if the order has not shipped and the requested item is in stock. Product-price differences apply.

Made-to-order and production preorders: Request changes within 72 hours of purchase, including weekends and holidays. Approved changes cost $10 plus any price difference, subject to availability and production feasibility. Customer-requested production changes are not accepted after 72 hours.

We confirm extra payment and revised shipping estimates before proceeding. A change is complete only when we confirm your order has been updated. Email, voicemail, chat, or phone requests alone do not.

If the order ships before we confirm a completed change, the original return terms apply. An uncompleted request does not make the original item incorrect or change its return eligibility. Final-sale items stay final sale, even when you requested a different final-sale item.

If we confirmed an update but shipped the wrong item, our incorrect-item process applies. We do not charge a change fee to correct our mistake.

Can I cancel my order?

No cancellations after an order is placed. Check items, sizes, colors, and shipping address before checkout. We contact you if we cannot fulfill an item.

What if an item is out of stock?

For all items, we contact you before any size, color, or style substitution. Without an agreed replacement, we refund the unavailable item's paid amount and tax, including discounted, final-sale, and international purchases.

Other available items still ship under their original return terms. If a top and bottom were purchased separately, the available piece ships and the unavailable piece is refunded. For a product sold as a complete set, we contact you before sending an incomplete set.

If the entire order cannot be supplied, we refund the full order, including shipping.

What if my order cannot ship on time?

Processing time and carrier transit time are separate; refer to the estimate provided at purchase.

If we cannot ship within the promised timeframe, we notify you by that deadline with a revised estimate, or explain that one is unavailable. You may accept the delay or cancel affected unshipped merchandise for a prompt refund. This applies even to discounted or final-sale items; required refunds are not replaced with store credit.

Can I combine discount codes with a sale?

Unless the promotion permits it, additional codes—including free-shipping codes—cannot apply to marked-down or compare-at-price merchandise, final-sale items, made-to-order items, preorders, mystery merchandise, or sample-sale items.

Enter codes before checkout and within the promotion's dates. We do not apply codes retroactively, extend expired offers, or carry them to later replacement orders.

If an excluded code is accepted mistakenly, we hold affected unfulfilled items and explain the corrected price and revised shipping estimate. Additional charges require approval. If you decline, we refund those unfulfilled items.

What if my package is delayed or missing?

The carrier handles tracking, transportation, and delivery after acceptance. Contact the carrier first with your tracking number for delays or missing packages. In-transit status does not automatically qualify for a refund or replacement.

We do not refund or replace packages lost or stolen after correct delivery to the order's address. If tracking says delivered but you did not receive it, ask the carrier to verify the location and investigate misdelivery; a scan alone does not establish correct delivery.

Contact us if the carrier needs sender documentation. Verified shipping errors and confirmed non-delivery are reviewed separately under applicable customer protections.
