Returns Policy
At Ava & Mila Vancouver, we strive to ensure that every customer is completely satisfied with their purchase. However, we understand that sometimes a product may not meet your expectations. This Return Policy clearly outlines how returns are handled.
1) Return Window & Conditions
-
Request within 14 days: You may request a return within 14 days of receiving your item.
-
Condition: Items must be unused, unwashed, undamaged, and in original condition, with all tags/labels attached and in the original packaging.
-
Tried on is okay; worn is not: Trying on for fit is fine; wearing the product (make-up, perfume, deodorant marks, visible wear) voids eligibility.
-
Customer pays return shipping: All return shipping costs—including any international postage and customs fees—are the customer’s responsibility.
-
Multiple sizes/“wardrobing”: Orders placed with the intent to return most of the items (e.g., bulk size trials) are not eligible for return under this policy.
-
Non-returnable items (for hygiene/finality):
- Underwear, bodysuits, hosiery, earrings, face coverings
- Final-sale/clearance items marked “Final Sale” at checkout
- Gift cards
- Customized/monogrammed items
We reserve the right to refuse returns that do not meet these conditions.
2) How to Start a Return
-
Email us at info@avamilavancouver.com within 14 days of delivery with: order number, item(s), and reason.
- After approval, we’ll send you the return address of our supplier (based in China) and simple packing instructions.
-
Ship the item back at your own expense. Use a tracked service and keep your receipt/track code.
- Mark the parcel clearly as “Return of Goods” to help avoid extra customs charges. Any duties/taxes charged to us will be deducted from your refund.
Returns sent without prior authorization or to an incorrect address may be rejected.
3) Refunds
-
Inspection: Once the parcel arrives at our supplier’s return facility and passes inspection, we’ll process your refund.
-
Timeline: Please allow up to 14 days from receipt at the return address for the refund to appear via your original payment method.
-
What’s refunded: Product price(s) only. Shipping fees, customs/duties, and return postage are non-refundable.
- Deductions: If the item is not returned in its original condition or arrives late/insufficiently packaged, a reasonable reconditioning or handling fee may apply.
4) Exchanges
Need a different size or color? The fastest method is to return the original item (per the steps above) and place a new order right away.
5) Damaged, Defective, or Wrong Item
If you received a damaged, defective, or incorrect item, email info@avamilavancouver.com within 48 hours of delivery with:
- Order number
- Photos of the item, packaging, and shipping label
Once verified, we’ll replace the item or refund you (including reasonable shipping where applicable).
6) Address Accuracy & Delivery Issues
-
Customer-provided address: You are responsible for the accuracy of your shipping address.
-
Changes: Report corrections within 24 hours of ordering at info@avamilavancouver.com
- Delivered but not received: If the carrier’s tracking shows Delivered to the address you provided, we are not responsible for loss/theft after delivery. Consider filing a claim with the carrier and checking with neighbors/building management.
7) Late or Missing Refunds
If you haven’t received a refund after our confirmation:
- Check your bank or card statement again.
- Contact your card issuer—processing time can vary.
- If you still need help, email us at info@avamilavancouver.com.
