Refund & Return Policy
At Learn With Sarah, we want customers to contact us promptly if there is an issue with an order. This Refund & Return Policy explains the general process for returns, exchanges, damaged or incorrect items, inspections, and refund timing for purchases made through our ecommerce store.
This policy is a business policy draft for our store operating in Pakistan. For case-specific help, please contact support at [email protected].
Eligibility for Returns
To be considered for a return, items should generally be unused, in their original condition, and returned with any original packaging, tags, accessories, or included materials where applicable. Return eligibility may depend on the product type and the condition of the item when received back by us.
- Condition: Returned items should not show signs of use, damage, or alteration caused after delivery.
- Proof of purchase: An order number, receipt, or other proof of purchase may be required.
- Approval process: Customers should contact us before sending any item back.
Damaged, Defective, or Wrong Items
If you receive a damaged, defective, or incorrect item, please contact us as soon as possible after delivery so we can review the issue and provide next steps.
- Prompt notice: Please report the issue soon after receiving the order.
- Supporting details: We may ask for your order number, description of the issue, and photos of the item or packaging.
- Resolution options: Depending on the situation, we may offer a replacement, exchange, store resolution, or refund where appropriate.
Non-Returnable Items
Certain items may not be eligible for return due to their nature, hygiene reasons, customization, digital delivery, or other business limitations. If a product is marked as non-returnable, that condition will generally apply unless the item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect.
- Used items: Items that have been used or altered may not qualify for return.
- Personalized or custom items: Customized products may not be returnable unless there is a fault or error caused by us.
- Digital or downloadable items: These may be non-refundable once delivered or accessed, except where a technical issue or confirmed error applies.
- Opened consumable or hygiene-sensitive products: These may not be accepted for return if opened or used.
Return Process
Please contact us before sending a return. We will review the request and provide guidance on whether the item appears eligible and where it should be sent if approved.
- Step 1: Email [email protected] with your order details and reason for the return request.
- Step 2: Wait for return instructions and approval guidance from our support team.
- Step 3: Pack the item securely and include any requested order details.
- Step 4: Send the item only after receiving instructions from us.
Inspection of Returned Items
Once a returned item is received, we may inspect it to confirm its condition and determine whether the return, exchange, or refund request meets our policy conditions.
- Condition review: We check whether the item matches the reported issue and return request.
- Policy review: Approval may depend on eligibility, timing, and condition on arrival.
- Communication: We may contact you if additional information is needed.
Refunds
If a refund is approved, it will generally be issued to the original payment method where possible. Processing time may vary depending on payment providers, banks, or the payment method used.
- Approval basis: Refunds are issued after review and approval, not automatically upon receipt of a returned item.
- Original method: Approved refunds are typically sent back through the original payment channel where available.
- Partial refunds: In some cases, only partial refunds may be appropriate if an item is returned in reduced condition or missing parts, subject to review.
Exchanges
If you need an exchange for a damaged, defective, or incorrect item, please contact us with your order details. Exchange availability may depend on stock and product availability at the time of review.
- Replacement stock: If the same item is unavailable, we may discuss alternative solutions.
- Approval required: Exchanges are handled after review of the reported issue.
Shipping Costs
Shipping costs related to returns or exchanges may depend on the reason for the return and the outcome of our review.
- Store error: If the item is confirmed to be damaged, defective, or incorrect due to our error, we may assist with a reasonable return or replacement arrangement.
- Customer preference returns: If a return is accepted for reasons such as preference or ordering by mistake, return shipping costs may be the customer’s responsibility.
- Original shipping charges: Original shipping charges may be non-refundable unless the return is due to a verified store or product issue.
Timing
Customers should contact us within a reasonable time after delivery if they wish to report a problem or request support. Return review, inspection, exchange handling, and refund processing times can vary depending on the product, shipping, and payment method.
- Report promptly: Early contact helps us resolve issues faster.
- Processing time: Refund timing may vary after approval depending on the payment channel.
- Delays: Courier returns, bank processing, and incomplete information may extend timelines.
