Anonymous Express - Refunds & Returns FAQ

Refunds & Returns FAQ

At Anonymous Express, our refund and returns policy is designed to ensure customer satisfaction while maintaining fairness. You have 30 days from the date of purchase to request a full refund or exchange, provided the item meets our eligibility criteria.

To qualify, items must be unused, in their original condition, and returned with all packaging, manuals, and accessories intact. Partial refunds or store credits may apply in specific cases—see below for details.

Items must be returned in their original state with proof of purchase (e.g., receipt, order confirmation, or tracking number). We cannot accept returns for perishable goods, intimate apparel, sanitary products, hazardous materials, or flammable substances due to health and safety regulations.

Additional non-returnable items include digital downloads, gift cards, custom-made products, and opened personal care items. If you’re unsure about an item’s eligibility, please reach out to us before initiating a return.

Partial refunds may be issued if an item is returned used, damaged, missing parts, or not in its original packaging—unless the issue is due to our error. For example, if you return a product after light use, we may offer 50-75% of the original value as a credit or refund.

Returns received after the 30-day window may also qualify for a partial refund or store credit at our discretion. Late returns beyond 60 days are generally not accepted unless under warranty or special circumstances.

Once we receive and inspect your return, you’ll receive an email notification confirming approval or rejection within 48 hours. Approved refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5-10 business days, depending on your bank or card issuer.

If your refund is delayed, first check your bank account or credit card statement, as processing times can vary. If it’s been over 10 days, contact us at support@anonymousexpress.com with your order number for assistance.

For international returns, additional delays may occur due to customs processing—please allow up to 15 business days.

Exchanges are available only for defective or damaged items. To request an exchange, contact support@anonymousexpress.com within 30 days of delivery, and ship the item to our designated return center with a note explaining the issue.

For gifts, if marked as such during purchase, we’ll issue a gift credit or store voucher upon return. If it wasn’t marked as a gift, the refund will go to the original purchaser’s payment method. Include your order details to expedite the process.

To return an item, mail it to: Anonymous Express Returns, 123 Logistics Lane, Shipping City, SC 12345 (or the address provided in your return authorization email). Customers are responsible for return shipping costs, which are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error.

For high-value items, we strongly recommend using a trackable shipping service (e.g., USPS, FedEx) and purchasing insurance, as we cannot guarantee receipt of untracked packages. Shipping times vary by location—expect 3-7 business days domestically.

If you receive a damaged, defective, or incorrect item, notify us within 7 days of delivery at support@anonymousexpress.com with photos of the issue and your order number. We’ll provide a prepaid return label and expedite a replacement or full refund.

For manufacturing defects discovered after initial use, contact us within the warranty period (typically 90 days) for a case-by-case review.

Orders can be canceled for a full refund if they haven’t shipped yet. Check your order status online or email us immediately at support@anonymousexpress.com. Once an order is in transit, our standard return policy applies.

Custom or special-order items may incur a cancellation fee (up to 20%) if production has begun—contact us for specifics.

For international customers, returns follow the same 30-day policy, but shipping costs and customs duties are your responsibility. Include all original customs documentation to avoid delays.

Refunds exclude initial shipping fees and any import taxes. Processing may take 10-20 business days due to international logistics—track your return for updates.
