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.
Same-Day Delivery — Return & Exchange
For orders delivered through our Same-Day Delivery service, return and exchange requests are subject to the following process:
- Self-Shipping Required: Reverse pickup is not available for Same-Day Delivery orders. The customer will be required to self-ship the article to our warehouse using any reliable courier service.
- The product must be unused, unwashed, undamaged, and have all original tags attached. Products that do not meet these conditions may not be accepted for return or exchange.
- Please securely pack the article to avoid any damage during transit.
- Kindly mention your Order ID and registered phone number clearly on the package so that our warehouse team can identify the shipment.
- Return shipping charges will be borne by the customer.
- Once the article is received at our warehouse, it will undergo a quality check (QC).
- After the article successfully passes QC, we will proceed with processing the exchange request from our end, subject to product/size availability.
- Once the exchange is processed, the customer will be notified via email with the relevant exchange order/shipping details.
- An article that has already been exchanged or returned once will not be eligible for another return or exchange.
