Refund policy
Starborn Returns & Refunds Policy
This policy gives you a clear, fair path to resolve genuine manufacturing issues while respecting the realities of bespoke production.
1. How to Request a Return or Exchange —
Within 5 Days
-
Email contact@star‑born.com (Subject: "RETURN") no later than 5 calendar days after your tracking status shows “delivered.”
-
Attach:
-
Your order number; and
-
Clear photos that show the problem (print flaw, damage, wrong item/size, etc.).
-
-
We’ll review your claim within 7 business days.
-
If approved, we’ll email you:
-
A Return Authorisation (RA) number; and
-
The correct return address plus, when applicable, a pre‑paid shipping label.
-
Do not ship anything until you receive written authorisation. Unauthorised parcels will be refused.
2. Who Pays Return Shipping?
|
Reason for return |
Return shipping cost |
|---|---|
|
Manufacturing issues — misprint, factory defect, transit damage, wrong item/size compared with your order |
Paid by Starborn (pre‑paid label provided) |
|
Any other case expressly approved by Starborn in writing (not a manufacturing fault) |
Paid by customer |
Buyer’s‑remorse (“I just don’t like it”) is not an approved reason and is non‑returnable (see Section 4).
3. Return Conditions
-
Items must be unused, unwashed, unaltered, and in their original packaging with tags intact.
-
We may refuse items that show wear, stains, odours, rips, or damage not caused by manufacturing or transit.
4. Non‑Returnable Items
-
Underwear, socks, tights, swimwear, pajamas, and face masks.
-
Samples or prototypes.
-
Deliberately distressed or limited‑edition pieces marked “final sale.”
-
Buyer’s‑remorse items — garments accurately produced to your order that you later decide you don’t want.
-
Requests submitted more than 5 days after delivery or shipped without an RA number.
-
Packages refused because of delays resulting from incorrect shipping data or post‑purchase design changes.
5. Refunds
-
Once your return is received and inspected, we’ll email you the outcome.
-
Approved refunds are issued (mostly) to the original payment method in the original currency (USD).
6. Order Cancellations
-
Before production: Full refund.
-
In production but not yet shipped: Shipping fee is refundable; production costs are not.
