Returns Procedures

This guide provides clear instructions on our return and refund process, ensuring a smooth experience when an item doesn’t meet your expectations.

For Shoppers (The Return Process)

What is the Outfixs Return Policy?

Most vendors on Outfixs accept returns within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in their original packaging, and in the same condition that you received them. Please note that certain items (like custom, perishable, or final sale items) may be non-returnable; check the specific product page for exclusions.

How Do I Initiate a Return?

1. Log In: Go to My Account > Orders. 2. Find Order: Select the order containing the item you wish to return. 3. Request Return: Click the ‘Request Return’ button (available if the order is eligible). 4. Provide Details: Select the reason for the return and provide supporting photos (if the item is damaged or defective). The vendor will review your request.

Who Pays for Return Shipping?

The party responsible for return shipping costs depends on the reason: Vendor Pays: If the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect (wrong size/color). Buyer Pays: If the return is due to buyer’s remorse (e.g., changed mind, no longer needed) or ordering the wrong item.

What is the Refund Timeline?

Once the vendor receives and inspects the returned item, they will approve the refund. Refunds are typically processed back to your original payment method within 5-10 business days after the refund is approved. You will be notified by email when the refund is processed.

Can I Exchange an Item Instead?

Because items are managed by independent vendors, Outfixs generally processes returns as refunds. If you need a different size or color, the easiest procedure is to return the original item for a refund and then place a new order for the correct item.

For Vendors (Managing Returns & Refunds)

How Do I Process a Return Request?

1. Notification: You will receive an email and a notification in your Vendor Dashboard >  Returns (or Orders) when a buyer requests a return. 2. Review: Review the buyer’s reason and provided evidence. 3. Approve/Deny: Respond by approving the return (providing return instructions/address) or denying it (providing a detailed explanation based on policy).

What is the Expected Turnaround Time?

 All return requests must be reviewed and responded to within 48 hours. Prompt responses improve your vendor rating and customer satisfaction.

How Do I Issue the Refund?

Once you physically receive the returned item and confirm its condition: 1. Go to the Order page in your Dokan Dashboard. 2. Click the ‘Refund’ button. 3. Enter the amount to be refunded (full amount or partial amount, such as subtracting shipping costs if applicable). The refund is then processed via the WooCommerce/Dokan system.

What If a Buyer Returns an Item That is Damaged?

If a returned item is damaged due to poor packaging on the buyer’s part or is in worse condition than when you shipped it, you have the right to issue a partial refund or deny the refund completely. You must communicate this clearly and provide photographic evidence to the buyer and the Outfixs support team.
