TEMPORARY 90-DAY RETURN POLICY

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are extending our return policy. We will accept returns up to 90 days from the date that you receive your package, so that we can spare you a trip to the post office during this difficult time. The health and safety of our customers is very important to us. 

Yay! Your shipment has arrived. Try it on. Don't wash the items, or remove any care labels or tags. If you don't love it, contact us to request a return. 

We offer a full refund on new, unworn merchandise provided that we are notified within 90 days of receipt of the product. Exception is final sale items, which are non-returnable/non-refundable/no exchanges, and special promotion items (see promotion for terms). In order to be eligible for a return, the merchandise must be unworn and in it's original condition. We do carefully inspect all items, so please practice good karma and be careful when trying on items (i.e. remove jewelry, do not apply perfume). If the item(s) is not in its original condition (I.e. pet hair, makeup stains, smoke or food odour, visibly worn, etc.) you will be responsible for loss in value, and not eligible for a refund. The items will be shipped back to you at your cost, or donated upon request.

TO RETURN AN ITEM, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:

To initiate a US return, please follow the instructions below:

1. Email us at  contact@encircled.ca and let us know that you'd like to initiate a return. We'll need your order # or the email address used to place the order, plus details on what item you're returning. We’ll respond within 48-hours to your request.
   
   
2. Ship back the item with a pre-paid label. You'll have the option to purchase a printable pre-paid flat rate USPS return label from us for $10. The $10 will then be held back from the refund of your original order, or you can use a shipping provider of your choice. Please mail the package back within 90 days of receipt of instructions to be eligible for a full refund, otherwise it will be store credit.
   
   
3. Wrap the item securely in a package or re-use our original packaging to save on waste (yes!). Apply our pre-paid USPS label (or your own) and mail it back to us.
   
   
4. Receipt of your return. Our pre-paid labels from USPS have tracking and insurance, so you'll be able to track your return online at www.usps.com. Once it's received in our studio and inspected, we'll refund your item or order to your original payment method on file excluding any outbound ship fees which are non-refundable and, if applicable, your pre-paid return label fee.
   
   
5. As we're a small batch fashion company, cycling our inventory is crucial. Any returns sent beyond 7 days of receipt of the 90-day cut-off will be store credit only.

What if I don’t want to use the pre-paid label and instead use my own shipping provider?

You can ship back the package using the shipping provider of your choice, however, you will be responsible for all ship costs and duties, with no reimbursement of any kind from Encircled. Any duties or brokerage fees allocated will be withheld from the refund.

Returns are first sent to our warehouse in New York and they take around 1-2 weeks to arrive at our studio in Toronto, Canada. Once they arrive at Encircled, they’re processed within 1-3 business days. Generally, it takes 3-5 business days for the refund to appear on your statement.

Customers are responsible for covering the cost of shipping returns/exchanges back to us. We do offer a credit on a future order in the amount of the ship back cost (up to $20USD), which can be redeemed at any time within a year of issuance. Ship credits are a maximum of $100 for a one year period. This credit is issued via a gift card online and cannot be transferred or redeemed for cash. Just leave a note during checkout that you'd like to apply the credit, or feel free to send us an email to request a ship credit prior to placing your next order.

Once we receive your return back, we'll refund it to your original payment method excluding ship fees, which are non-refundable.
