Returns
RETURNS & EXCHANGES:
Sorry things didn't work out! We're happy to get the returns process started for you. Please visit https://returns.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to hello@balabangles.com
WHAT IS YOUR RETURN POLICY?
HOLIDAY 2021 RETURN POLICY:
Orders placed from Nov 1st, 2021 12:01 AM PST until Dec 31st, 2021 11:59 PM EST are eligible to return within 60 days of the delivery date of the order. Purchases outside of this period will follow our standard returns and exchanges period of 30 days.
Bala customers will be responsible for shipping costs associated with sending returns back to us on all merchandise, unless otherwise noted as Final Sale, within 30 days of the shipment date. Currently we cannot accept international returns or exchanges.
Bala reserves the right to refuse returns that do not meet our return requirements. This includes, but is not limited to, merchandise that does not comply with our return policy, is worn or washed, exhibits indicators of use for photoshoots or production use only, or if we identify an unreasonable, repetitive return pattern associated with your account. We will not accept the return back if there is damage to or omission of the carrying cases, or packaging. Returns and exchanges are not accepted on items marked FINAL SALE.
HOW DO I INITIATE A RETURN OR EXCHANGE?
To initiate a return or exchange, please visit https://returns.
You will be able to return your item(s) for a refund, exchange an item(s) for something else, or receive an “Instant Refund” minus shipping. The returns label fee is presented to the customer on the Estimated Refund Page, and once this is confirmed the label fee will be deducted from the order and a return label will be generated.
WHAT IS AN “INSTANT REFUND" AND HOW DO I USE IT?
Similar to a gift card, during the Return & Exchange process you may be issued a temporary Instant Refund. The Instant Refund will be equal to the value of your returns minus shipping and gives you the flexibility to place a new order right away, rather than wait for a credit card refund.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T USE MY “INSTANT REFUND”?
Once your return items are checked in, we will deactivate the Instant Refund and issue a refund for any outstanding balance back to your original payment method. If you did not use any of your Instant Refund, you will receive a full refund for these items.
WHY DOESN’T MY “INSTANT REFUND” MATCH THE PRICE OF THE ITEM I’M RETURNING?
If you used a discount on your order, our returns system will show the price paid rather than the value of the item. We will also deduct the return shipping from this as well. To keep your discount in place, move through our traditional exchange process rather than using your Instant Refund to repurchase.
HOW LONG DOES A REFUND OR EXCHANGE TAKE TO PROCESS?
Once your return is prepared, you can drop it at any Fedex location or designated Fedex dropbox. You can find a nearby Fedex drop off point at the following link: https://www.fedex.com/en-us/shipping/drop-off-package.html or you can schedule a pick up from the Fedex site if you have an account. For more information on this please visit the link here.
All returns are shipped back to our warehouse via Fedex Smartpost which is a combined service of Fedex and USPS.
Once your return is delivered to our warehouse, please allow up to 15 business days for us to inspect and process the return. When your return is processed, you will receive an email notification confirming your refund. Please allow 3-5 business days for the refund to show on the original form of payment.
HOW DO I RETURN A GIFT?
To initiate a return or exchange, please visit https://returns.
If you are having trouble tracking down details from the original order, please email us at hello@balabangles.com with info about the order, such as the first/last name of the person who purchased the gift, their email address or any other information you think might help.
And don't worry, the gift giver doesn’t receive any notifications around this process whatsoever.
HOW DO I TRACK MY RETURN?
You can track your return by logging into your Bala account and selecting the returned order number or through your initial return confirmation email. There you will find your RMA number, return tracking, refund estimate and the items you selected to return.
If you do not have a Bala account, you can track your return through the initial return confirmation email, or re-entering your order information at https://returns.shopbala.
WHAT IF I PURCHASED USING AFFIRM?
If you have changed your mind, you can return or exchange your Affirm purchase the same way regular items are returned/exchanged. Affirm will be notified of your return and will process the appropriate refunds. Please do not return your purchase to Affirm.
