Return & Refund Policy

We have a 15-day return policy, which means you have 15 days after receiving your item to request a return or exchange.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition you received it – unworn, unused, with tags, and in the original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

📧 To start a return, email us at thedappersquirrelboutique@gmail.com. Once approved, we’ll send you a return shipping label and instructions. Items sent back without prior approval will not be accepted.

🚨 DAMAGED OR DEFECTIVE ITEMS

If your item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, please contact us immediately.

• Defective, damaged, or wrong items will be refunded to your original form of payment (credit card, PayPal, etc.) once we verify the issue.

📏 WRONG SIZE OR DOESN’T FIT?

If you ordered the wrong size or simply need a different fit:

• Your return will be refunded as a store credit (gift card) — NOT to your original payment method.
• Store credits never expire and can be used on any future purchase.

🚫 EXCEPTIONS / NON-RETURNABLE ITEMS

Certain items cannot be returned, including:

• Sale items
• Gift cards
• Custom or personalized products
• Beauty/personal care goods
• Hazardous materials (flammable liquids, gases, etc.)

🔄 EXCHANGES

The fastest way to get the size you need is to return the item for a store credit gift card and place a new order.

✅ REFUNDS

• Defective items = refunded back to the original payment method.
• Wrong-size items = refunded as a gift card only.

This policy keeps things fair and helps us process returns quickly for all our customers.
