RETURN & REFUND POLICY
We want you to feel confident when shopping at VirelWorld. If something is not quite right with your order, we are here to help.
1. Return Window
We offer a 30-day return policy.
This means you have 30 days from the date you receive your order to request a return.
Any return request submitted after this period may not be accepted.
2. Return Eligibility
To be eligible for a return, items must meet the following conditions:
- Item must be unused, unworn, and in original condition
- All original packaging must be included (boxes, wrapping, protective materials)
- Tags, labels, or product accessories must be intact
- Proof of purchase (order confirmation or receipt) is required
Please note that items showing signs of use, damage caused after delivery, or improper handling may not qualify for return approval.
3. How to Start a Return
To initiate a return request, please contact us at:
Please include:
- Your order number
- The item(s) you wish to return
- A brief reason for the return
- Clear photos (if the item is damaged or incorrect)
Once your request is reviewed and approved, we will provide return instructions.
Returns sent without prior approval will not be accepted.
4. Return Shipping
If your return is approved, we will provide instructions for sending the item back.
Depending on the situation, we may:
- Provide a return shipping label, or
- Request the customer to ship the item back using a tracked service
Return shipping responsibility may vary depending on the reason for return (e.g., defective item vs. change of mind).
We recommend using a trackable shipping method, as we cannot guarantee receipt of untracked packages.
5. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items
Please inspect your order immediately upon arrival.
If you receive:
- A damaged item
- A defective product
- An incorrect item
Please contact us within 72 hours of delivery.
We will carefully review the issue and offer an appropriate solution, which may include:
- Replacement
- Refund
- Partial refund
- Store credit
We take great care in packaging fragile handcrafted ceramics, but rare shipping damage may still occur during transit.
6. Non-Returnable Items
Certain items are not eligible for return, including:
- Customized or personalized products
- Final sale or clearance items
- Gift cards
- Items damaged due to misuse or improper care after delivery
- Items not in original condition or missing parts
Because many of our products are handmade, natural variations in glaze, color, texture, and form are not considered defects.
7. Exchanges
We do not offer direct exchanges at this time.
If you would like a different item, the fastest process is:
- Request a return for the original item (if eligible)
- Once approved, place a new order for the replacement item
This ensures faster processing and inventory accuracy.
8. Refund Process
Once your returned item is received and inspected, we will notify you of the approval status.
If approved, refunds will be issued to your original payment method.
Typical refund timeline:
- Inspection: 3–5 business days after receiving return
- Refund processing: 5–10 business days (depending on bank/payment provider)
Please note that banking institutions may require additional time to post the refund to your account.
9. Late or Missing Refunds
If you have not received your refund after the expected processing time:
- Check your bank account again
- Contact your credit card company or payment provider
- Contact your bank (processing delays are common)
If more than 15 business days have passed since approval, please contact us at:
10. European Union Customers (14-Day Cooling-Off Period)
If your order is shipped to the European Union, you have the right to cancel or return your order within 14 days, for any reason and without justification.
To be eligible:
- Items must be unused and in original condition
- Original packaging must be included
- Proof of purchase is required
This right applies in accordance with EU consumer protection regulations.
