Return, Refund & Cancellation Policy
Clear, transparent, and fair guidelines for doorstep reverse pickups, mandatory quality checks, and 100% refund credits.
Due to courier freight charges on heavy footwear and articles, Trendzilla operates a strict Return for 100% Refund policy. We do not offer direct size exchanges or replacements. If you require a different size or color, simply return the unworn article for a full refund and place a fresh order for your desired size.
A thorough physical Doorstep Quality Check (QC) is strictly conducted by the reverse pickup courier executive (Shadowfax / Delhivery) before any returned item is accepted.
Footwear & Shoes (BATA, VKC Pride, Footies): Unworn shoes, flip-flops, loafers, and daily sandals in brand-new, re-saleable condition with original manufacturer shoe box, wrapping paper, barcodes, and MRP tags intact. Eligible for 100% money-back refund following mandatory QC clearance.
Innerwear & Personal Wear (Dixcy Scott bloomers, trunks, vests, socks): For intimate personal hygiene and consumer safety, opened undergarments cannot be returned once the protective factory seal is broken, unless delivered defective or wrong item.
1. Return Window & Step-by-Step Return Workflow
You may initiate a return request within 7 calendar days from the date your package is delivered. To initiate:
- Log into your Trendzilla Account using your registered phone or email.
- Locate your delivered order in the orders ledger and click "Request Return".
- Select the reason for return (e.g. Size Not Fitting, Style Preference, Transit Defect).
- Upload a clear photo showing the item with its attached brand tags and original manufacturer box.
- Provide your UPI ID (VPA) or confirm original payment source for instant refund credit.
- Alternatively, message our Dispatch Desk via WhatsApp / Email at care@trendzilla.in with your Order ID and photo of the footwear with tags attached.
2. Why We Do Not Offer Direct Replacements (Logistics Efficiency)
Dispatching a physical replacement requires two additional logistics transits: a reverse pickup from your doorstep back to the godown, and a second forward shipment to deliver the new size. These double courier freight expenses exceed the product margins on value footwear.
3. Doorstep Quality Check (QC) & Reverse Pickup Workflow
Once your return request is approved, our specialized reverse logistics partner (Shadowfax 360 / Delhivery Express) will dispatch an executive to your doorstep within 24 to 48 hours.
- Tag Verification: The brand tag, price tag (MRP), and barcode must be firmly attached to the footwear as originally shipped. If absent, detached, or damaged, pickup will be declined immediately.
- Physical Inspection: The soles, insoles, and uppers are inspected for any sign of wear, dirt, scratches, creasing, or washing.
- Original Packaging: The shoes must be returned in the original brand manufacturer box.
- Handover & Receipt: Only after the parcel successfully passes all QC parameters will the rider scan the reverse AWB barcode and provide your pickup acknowledgment receipt.
4. Refund Calculations, Deductions & Commercial Terms (Razorpay & Logistics Rules)
In accordance with standard Indian e-commerce benchmarks (Amazon, Flipkart) and Razorpay Payment Gateway Operating Guidelines, refunds are categorized transparently based on the return circumstance:
If the product received is physically defective, damaged in transit, or an incorrect item was shipped:
- 100% Full Refund with Zero Deductions.
