Return & Refund Policy — TopNotchDeal
At TopNotchDeal, customer satisfaction is our priority. Please read this policy carefully before making a purchase, as it explains your rights and our process for returns, exchanges, and refunds. This policy is designed to comply with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020.
1. Order Cancellation
- Orders can be cancelled within 24 hours of placing the order, provided the item has not yet been shipped by our supplier.
- Once an order has been shipped/dispatched, it cannot be cancelled. You may request a return once you receive the product (see Section 2).
- To cancel, email us at topnotchdeal.in@gmail.com with your Order ID.
2. Return Eligibility
Since TopNotchDeal operates on a dropshipping model, products are shipped directly from our supplier/warehouse partners. We accept return requests under the following conditions:
- The product received is damaged, defective, or not as described.
- The wrong item was delivered.
- The product is missing parts or accessories listed in the description.
Timeframe: Return requests must be raised within 7 days of the delivery date. Requests made after this window will not be accepted.
Conditions for Return
- The item must be unused, unworn, and in its original packaging with all tags/labels intact.
- You must provide the order number, clear photos/video of the product and packaging, and a description of the issue at the time of raising the request.
Non-Returnable Items
The following items cannot be returned or exchanged, unless received damaged or defective:
- Innerwear, cosmetics, and personal care/hygiene products
- Customized or personalized products
- Items marked as "Final Sale" or "Non-Returnable" on the product page
- Products damaged due to misuse, negligence, or normal wear and tear
3. How to Request a Return
- Email [your support email] or contact us via [WhatsApp/contact number] within 7 days of delivery.
- Share your Order ID, reason for return, and photo/video proof of the issue.
- Our team will review your request within 2–3 business days and share the outcome and next steps (return shipping, replacement, or refund).
- Do not ship the product back before receiving confirmation from our team.
4. Refunds
- Once your return is received and inspected (or approved without return, for damaged/defective claims), we will notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.
- Approved refunds are processed within 7–10 business days to your original payment method (or as store credit, if chosen).
- For Cash on Delivery (COD) orders, refunds will be issued via bank transfer/UPI; you will be asked to share your bank details for this purpose.
- Shipping charges (if any) are non-refundable, except where the return is due to our error (wrong/damaged/defective item).
5. Exchanges
- We offer exchanges (e.g., for size or a different variant) only for eligible items and only if the same product is back in stock.
- If the exchanged item is unavailable, a refund will be processed instead.
6. Shipping Times & Delays
- As a dropshipping store, delivery timelines are 7–15 business days depending on your location and supplier processing time.
- Delays caused by customs, logistics, or unforeseen circumstances are not grounds for automatic refund but will be communicated to you proactively. If a shipment is excessively delayed (beyond 21 business days) with no tracking movement, you may request a refund or replacement.
7. Damaged or Defective Items
- If your item arrives damaged or defective, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photo/video evidence.
- We will offer a free replacement or full refund, including any shipping charges paid, at your preference.
8. Late or Missing Refunds
If you haven't received a refund within the stated timeframe:
- Check your bank account/payment app again.
- Contact your card issuer or bank — processing times can vary.
- If you've done this and still have not received your refund, contact us at [topnotchdeal.in@gmail.com].
