What is Apella’s 10 days return policy? How does it work?

Apella’s 10 day returns and exchange policy gives users an option to return or exchange items purchased on Apella for any reason within 10 days of receipt of the item. We only ask that users don't use the product and preserve its original condition, tags and packaging. Users are welcome to try on a product but please take adequate measures to preserve its condition. There are two ways to return the product to us:

  1. Pick up: In most locations, we offer a free pick up service. Users will see a pickup option when users submit a return request
  2. Self-Ship: If we don't offer a pick up at users location, users will have to ship the product to us. In such cases, we will credit Rs. 100 into users Apella Store Credits account if the product satisfies the return policy

Once we pick up and receive users returned product, we will do a quality check of the product at our end and when the product passes the quality check we will credit the amount users paid for the products into the refund mode selected by users at the time of initiating return request. If the picked up product does not pass the quality check, we will ship it back to users. All exchanges are subject to stock availability and subject to users address being serviceable for an exchange. Please note that we are only able to offer size exchanges.
