Refund policy
If, for any reason, you want to return or exchange something,
we are happy to help!
Return
- Unused items can be returned within 30 days of purchase.
- You can opt for a refund (via the original payment method) or a store voucher.
Items that are in 'sales' can simply be returned and are eligible for a refund. For 'outlet/last chance' items you will receive a store voucher in exchange.
- Only unused items (not worn or washed) can be returned. We won't be able to accept items that are used, washed, worn or no longer have their tags or labels attached. If we receive such items, we will contact you through email to send them back to you.
Exchange
The fastest way to exchange your new size is to order a new product today and return the original product within 30 days of purchase. This way you will receive your product quickly and there is less chance that it will be sold out.
The return label can be purchased on our return portal. But for the new order you will place - to exchange the goods - you can mail us at info@the-dao-store.com and we will gladly provide you with a code that will offer you free shipping at checkout. Like this we split the extra shipping/return costs :)
You can also return or exchange your items at our flagship store. We're happy to offer some help with the fitting.
