Returns and Exchange

At Dorabi, we follow a structured exchange and return process to ensure fairness, product quality, and smooth order handling. Please read this policy carefully before placing your order.

This policy applies only to orders shipped within India.

For orders shipped to the United States or Canada, please refer to Dorabi’s separate international Exchange & Return Policy.

1. Policy Scope

This policy covers:

  • Order changes

  • Order cancellations

  • Returns

  • Exchanges

  • Store credits issued as gift cards

  • Defective, damaged, wrong, or missing item claims

  • COD-related return and cancellation cases

Dorabi does not provide refunds for standard India returns or exchanges. Eligible return value is issued as store credit in the form of a gift card, except in specific cancellation or Dorabi-side cancellation cases described in this policy.

2. Order Changes and Cancellations

Customers may request to modify or cancel an order within 24 hours of order confirmation.

After the 24-hour cancellation window, cancellations are not allowed.

Once an order has been dispatched, cancellation is not possible.

If a customer cancels within the valid 24-hour cancellation window, eligible product charges and shipping charges, if any, will be refunded.

There is no penalty for cancelling a COD order before dispatch within the valid cancellation window.

If Dorabi cancels an order due to stock, quality, address, verification, COD abuse, fulfillment issues, or any other issue from Dorabi’s side, the customer will receive a full refund to the original payment method, where applicable.

3. Return and Exchange Window

Eligible return or exchange requests must be raised within 7 days of the actual delivery date.

Size exchanges must also be requested within the same 7-day window.

Requests submitted after the 7-day window may not be accepted.

Requesting a return or exchange does not guarantee approval. All requests are subject to Dorabi’s review, approval, and inspection process.

4. Eligible Items

The following items may be eligible for return or exchange, subject to this policy:

  • Non-customized clothing

  • Discounted items, unless marked otherwise

  • Sale items for exchange or replacement only, unless specifically stated otherwise

The following items are not eligible for return, exchange, store credit, or refund:

  • Clearance items

  • Custom orders

  • Accessories

  • Gift cards

  • Final sale items

  • Items marked non-returnable or non-exchangeable on the product page or checkout

Final sale items will be clearly marked on the product page or at checkout where applicable.

Gift cards are non-refundable.

Items purchased using gift cards may be eligible for exchange where applicable, but are not eligible for return, refund, or further store credit.

5. Return Condition Requirements

Returned items must meet the following conditions:

  • Unworn

  • Unwashed

  • Unused

  • Unaltered

  • Tags intact, where originally attached

  • Free from perfume, stains, makeup, pet hair, damage, or signs of use

Original packaging is preferred but not mandatory. However, the item must be packed securely for return pickup or return shipping.

Dorabi reserves the right to reject any return or exchange if the item is not in acceptable or resalable condition.

Inspection is mandatory before final approval of store credit, exchange, replacement, or any other resolution.

Dorabi’s decision after inspection will be final.

6. Return Rejection After Inspection

If Dorabi rejects a returned item after inspection:

  • Store credit may be denied

  • Any exchange request may be cancelled

  • The product may be shipped back to the customer

  • The customer may be required to pay the re-shipping cost

Returns may be rejected if the item is used, washed, worn, altered, damaged, missing tags, submitted late, sent without approval, or does not match the required return conditions.

7. Return Pickup in India

Dorabi will arrange return pickup for eligible India returns and exchanges where courier pickup is serviceable.

Return pickup is available only from the original delivery address used for the order.

Pickup from a different address is not available.

If pickup from the original delivery address is not serviceable, the customer may be asked to ship the item themselves as per Dorabi’s instructions.

Dorabi will not reimburse customer-arranged return shipping for India orders unless specifically approved in writing.

Customers should not send any item back without prior approval from Dorabi.

8. Return Pickup Attempts

Return pickup attempts are subject to courier availability and serviceability.

Generally, the courier may attempt pickup 2–3 times.

If return pickup fails because the customer is unavailable, unreachable, or does not hand over the item, Dorabi may cancel the return or exchange request.

9. Return Shipping Responsibility

For approved India returns and exchanges, Dorabi will pay return shipping where Dorabi’s courier pickup is serviceable.

This applies to:

  • Normal size exchanges

  • Change-of-mind returns eligible for store credit

  • Defective item claims

  • Wrong item claims

  • Missing or incomplete item cases

If the return is lost after being collected by Dorabi’s assigned courier partner, the issue will be reviewed with the courier partner.

If a customer sends an item through their own courier without Dorabi’s approval and the item is lost, delayed, damaged, or untraceable, the customer will be responsible.

10. Store Credit / Gift Card Policy

All store credits are issued as gift cards.

For eligible change-of-mind returns, Dorabi provides store credit only. No refund to the original payment method is provided for standard change-of-mind returns.

Store credit is issued for the eligible product value, subject to inspection and approval.

Store credit is valid for 12 months from the date of issuance.

Store credit / gift card value cannot be transferred, exchanged for cash, or redeemed outside Dorabi.

If a discount code was used, store credit will be calculated based on the amount actually paid by the customer.

Each product is eligible for only one exchange.

Exchanges may be requested for:

Refunds are not provided for unavailable exchange options in standard India exchange cases.

If the new item costs more than the original item, the customer must pay the price difference.

If the new item costs less, the balance will not be refunded in cash, coupon, store credit or to the original payment method.

Exchange orders will be dispatched only after the original item is picked up, received, and inspected by Dorabi.

Dorabi may cancel the exchange if the returned item fails inspection.

12. Change-of-Mind Returns

Change-of-mind returns are allowed only for eligible items and within the 7-day return window.
