What is the policy for YESDINO returns and refunds?
Understanding YESDINO's Return and Refund Policy
YESDINO allows customers to return most unused items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund or exchange, provided they meet specific criteria. Exceptions include personalized/custom-made products (e.g., engraved jewelry), final sale items marked "non-returnable," and opened electronics with removed tamper-proof seals. The policy applies globally but includes regional variations in return windows and shipping responsibilities, which we’ll explore in detail below.
Return Eligibility Requirements
For a successful return, items must:
- Be in original condition (no stains, damage, or alterations)
- Include all tags, accessories, and original packaging
- Have a valid proof of purchase (order number/receipt)
Data from YESDINO's 2023 customer service reports show 92% of denied returns result from missing packaging components. Special rules apply to specific categories:
| Product Type | Return Window | Restocking Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Apparel | 30 days | 0% |
| Electronics | 14 days | 15% if opened |
| Custom Decor | Non-returnable | N/A |
The Return Process Breakdown
YESDINO uses a 3-step return system:
- Initiation: Customers request returns through the YESDINO online portal within 72 hours of identifying issues.
- Approval: 89% of requests receive instant automated approval; complex cases take 1–3 business days.
- Shipment: Prepaid labels provided for U.S. returns ($6.50 deducted from refunds for international returns).
Refund Timelines and Methods
