Returns & Exchanges

Find the information you need to understand return eligibility, begin a request, review exchange availability, and get help with an order issue.

Can this item be returned?

Eligibility depends on the return timeframe, the condition of the item, and any product-specific exclusions. Review each requirement before beginning a return request.

Need a different size or color?

Exchange availability and the correct request method must be confirmed before customers are directed to return or reorder an item.

Staging content Replace the temporary policy tokens below with the client-approved exchange process before launch.

The main question

Does INTL Bean offer a direct exchange, or should the customer return the original item and place a new order?

01 Exchange availability

Confirm whether direct exchanges are offered and whether approval depends on product, size, color, or inventory availability.

[APPROVED EXCHANGE POLICY]
02 Inventory and availability

Add the approved guidance for unavailable sizes, colors, or replacement inventory.

[APPROVED EXCHANGE AVAILABILITY AND INVENTORY POLICY]
03 Return and reorder

Confirm whether customers must return the original item and place a separate order, including any approved pricing or shipping guidance.

Important distinction

A returned item being delivered does not automatically confirm that the return has been reviewed or that a refund has been issued. The approved processing policy must explain the actual sequence.

Something arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect?

Separate support path

These order issues should not automatically follow the standard return or exchange process. The approved procedure must explain how the issue is reported, what information is required, and what resolution may be available.

Staging content Replace every bracketed token with the client-approved damaged, defective, or incorrect-order procedure before launch.

This guidance applies to

  • Damaged merchandise
  • Defective merchandise
  • Incorrect merchandise
A When to report the issue

Confirm the approved reporting timeframe and whether different deadlines apply to different order problems.

[APPROVED DAMAGED-OR-INCORRECT-ITEM REPORTING WINDOW]
B What information is required

Add the approved requirements for order details, photographs, product information, packaging, or any other supporting information.

[APPROVED ORDER DETAILS, PHOTOS, AND EVIDENCE REQUIREMENTS]
C What happens next

Confirm how the issue is reviewed, whether the item must be returned, who handles shipping, and which resolutions may be considered.
