Return Policy

We offer a 15-day return window from the date of purchase.  If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, you may return eligible items within this timeframe.  To initiate a return, the product must be unused and in its original condition and packaging.

Once the return is authorized, we’ll supply the essential shipping guidelines and steps for the return procedure.  Safely packaging and safeguarding the items during return shipping are the customer’s responsibility.  Return shipping expenses fall on the customer’s shoulders, except in instances of a defective item or if an error occurred in the initial order by Nisha Fernando Designs.

When processing a return, opting for a traceable shipping method or acquiring shipping insurance is advisable. We cannot assure the receipt of your returned item.

 

Refund Policy

Upon receiving the returned item, we’ll promptly examine it and notify the customer regarding the refund’s status, whether approved or declined.  Upon approval, the refund will be initiated and automatically credited back using the initial payment method.  It may take 5-7 days or more, depending on your financial institution, for the credited amount to reflect.  It’s important to note that the initial shipping expenses won’t be reimbursed, and a 10% restocking fee based on the purchase price will be subtracted from the refunded amount.

 

Refund Policy for Cancelled Orders

If you decide to cancel an order after placing it and it has not yet been processed or shipped, a refund will be issued. However, please note that credit card and PayPal processing fees incurred during the initial transaction will be deducted from the refunded amount.

Why Processing Fees Are Deducted:

Credit card companies and PayPal charge processing fees for each transaction processed. Unfortunately, these institutions do not refund these fees when an order is cancelled. Therefore, if you choose to cancel an order after purchase, the processing fees charged during the initial transaction will be deducted from the refunded amount.

The refund amount will be the original purchase price minus the processing fees.

For instance, the total amount paid for your order was $64.47. However, there was a processing fee of $2.74 charged by the credit card company or PayPal. As a result, the refundable amount will be $61.73 ($64.47 – $2.74).

We strive to process refunds promptly and efficiently for legitimate cancellations or returns within our stated return period as outlined in our Return Policy.

 

Sale Items

Please note that sale items including Less Than Perfect (LTP) products are considered final sale and are not eligible for returns or exchanges. We encourage you to carefully review your purchase before completing the transaction.

 

Pre-Orders

Pre-ordered items are non-refundable, non-exchangeable and not eligible for return. Once an order is placed for a pre-order item, it cannot be canceled or returned for a refund or store credit.

 

Damaged or Lost Items

In the unfortunate event that your order arrives damaged or is lost during transit, we will initiate an investigation with the shipping carrier by filing a claim.  Refunds or exchanges for damaged or lost items will be processed after the investigation is completed.  To begin the return process, send photos of the packaging, packing slip, and items to info@nishafernandodesigns.com within 15 days of receiving the delivery.  Please be aware that we’re not responsible for damages incurred during shipping.  In case the damaged items need to be sent back, we’ll furnish a prepaid shipping label

 

Defective Planner Definition

A planner is considered defective only if it has serious issues, such as:

  • Missing pages
  • Pages out of sequence
  • Incorrect binding
  • Major print errors

Our planners are designed for durability and functionality, but minor cosmetic imperfections can occasionally occur due to the production and shipping process. These do not impact usability or quality and are not considered defects.

Cover Markings: A planner cover may have slight scuffs or markings. During manufacturing, covers may develop these due to equipment handling, especially when produced in large batches. Tight packing during shipping can also cause covers to press against one another, resulting in light impressions or minor marks. These are purely cosmetic and do not affect the planner’s usability.

Wrinkled Pages: Pages may have minor wrinkles due to natural variations in humidity and temperature during long-distance travel, especially by sea. Compression from tight packing or minor impacts during transit may also cause slight bending. This wrinkling is normal, and all pages remain fully functional.

If you encounter any of these issues, please contact us, and we’ll be happy to assist!
