Return Policy

At Designs Giftware, we take great pride in the quality and artistry of our collection. We understand that selecting the perfect home accessory or gift is a personal process, and we want you to feel completely confident in your purchase from designsgiftware.com. If for any reason you are not entirely satisfied with your order, we are here to help. This policy outlines the process and conditions for returning items to ensure a smooth and transparent experience.

Our Satisfaction Guarantee

We want you to love your new items. However, we understand that sometimes a piece may not fit your space exactly as envisioned, or it may not be the perfect gift after all. We are committed to making the return process as straightforward as possible, provided the items meet the conditions outlined below.

Eligibility for Returns

To be eligible for a return, your item must meet the following criteria:

  • Timeframe: Returns must be initiated within a specific number of days from the date you received your order. Please check your order confirmation or the returns portal on our website for the exact window applicable to your purchase.
  • Condition: The item must be in its original, unused, and saleable condition. This means it should not show any signs of wear, handling, or installation.
  • Packaging: All original packaging, including boxes, protective wrapping, and any included documentation or tags, must be intact and returned with the item. This is particularly important for our giftware, as the presentation is often part of the product’s value.

Non-Returnable Items

While we strive to accommodate our customers, there are certain items that cannot be returned for hygiene or safety reasons, or due to their bespoke nature:

  • Personalized or Customized Items: Any product that has been monogrammed, engraved, or specifically customized to your request cannot be returned unless it is faulty.
  • Final Sale Items: Products marked as “Final Sale” or “Clearance” at the time of purchase are not eligible for return or exchange.
  • Gift Cards: Digital or physical gift cards are non-returnable and cannot be exchanged for cash.
  • Perishable Goods: If our collection ever includes perishable items (such as specific foodstuffs or candles that have been opened), these cannot be returned once the seal is broken.

How to Initiate a Return

We have streamlined our return process to make it easy for you:

  1. Log In or Locate Your Order: Visit designsgiftware.com and log into your account to find your order history. If you checked out as a guest, look for the order lookup tool.
  2. Select the Item: Choose the item(s) you wish to return and select the reason for the return from the dropdown menu.
  3. Submit Request: Submit your return request. You will receive a confirmation and further instructions on how to package and ship your item back to us.

Refunds and Exchanges

Once we receive your returned item, our team will carefully inspect it to ensure it meets our condition guidelines.

  • Approval: If the return is approved, we will process a refund to your original payment method. Please note that it may take several business days for the funds to appear in your account, depending on your bank’s processing times.
  • Original Shipping Costs: Refunds will typically include the cost of the merchandise. Original shipping fees paid at checkout are generally non-refundable unless the return is due to our error (e.g., we sent the wrong item).
  • Exchanges: If you wish to exchange an item for the same product in a different variation (if available) or a different product entirely, please initiate a return for the original item and place a new order for the desired replacement. This ensures you get the new item as quickly as possible.

Damaged or Defective Items

We take great care in packaging our art-inspired giftware, but occasionally, items may arrive damaged or defective. If you receive an item that is broken or faulty:

  • Inspect Immediately: Please inspect your order immediately upon receipt.
  • Contact Us: You must notify us of the damage within a short timeframe (e.g., 48 hours) of delivery.
  • Evidence: We may ask for a photograph of the damage to help us improve our packaging and to process your claim with the carrier.
  • Resolution: We will arrange for a replacement to be sent to you or issue a full refund, including any shipping costs you incurred.

Returns from International Customers

For customers outside of our domestic shipping region, please be aware that you may be responsible for the shipping costs associated with returning items. Additionally, import duties and taxes paid upon delivery are generally non-refundable by the local customs authorities. We recommend contacting us before initiating an international return to discuss the best course of action.
