Refund Policy

At Snuggle Star, our priority is to ensure the maximum safety, hygiene, comfort, and well-being of families and their little ones. Because we work directly with delicate products, we operate under strict quality control standards to ensure that every item arrives at your home in perfect condition.

Below, we explain how our support system, deadlines, and return conditions work, so your experience is fully transparent and secure.

INITIAL PROCEDURE AND DEADLINES

  • The customer has a legal period of 14 consecutive days, starting from the date the order is received, to contact our support team if they identify any issue, defect, or non-conformity with the item received.

  • To ensure maximum exclusivity and the best prices, our products are shipped directly from our international partner distribution centres to your address. The estimated delivery time is 7 to 15 business days after logistics processing.

  • Occasional delays caused by external shipping companies or customs processes do not give the right to immediate cancellations while the order is still in transit within the normal delivery process.

RETURN CONDITIONS

For any return or exchange process to be accepted at our facilities, applicable only in authorised cases of defect or shipping error, the product must strictly meet all of the following conditions:

  • No signs of use, except being tried on over clothing.

  • Original tag intact and attached to the product.

  • Product with an obvious manufacturing defect.

  • Other logistics errors caused by our team.

RETURN PROCESSING

After we receive the product at our facilities for inspection:

  • Inspection (1 to 3 business days): We check the product condition, confirm that the tag remains attached, analyse the packaging, and verify whether the reported defect conditions remain valid.

  • Confirmation (up to 48 hours): We will send an official confirmation email informing you of the status of the process and the validation of the claim.

  • Refund or replacement (5 to 7 business days): We will either send a completely new product at no cost or refund the money to the original payment method. Depending on your bank or payment provider, the amount may take an additional 2 to 5 business days to become available in your account.

  • We will provide direct support by email regarding the return process.

  • You may check the delivery status on the partner carrier’s website using the return tracking code provided.

PRODUCT CLAIMS — TRANSPORT DAMAGE

If the product arrived visibly damaged due to transport:

What to do:

  • Do not fully open the order if you notice obvious damage to the outer box or shipping bag.

  • Take immediate photographs of the external packaging before and during opening.

  • Contact us at infosnugglestar@gmail.com within the first 24 hours after receiving the order. Claims made after this period may not be accepted, as transport companies usually do not accept responsibility for the incident after the first 24 hours following delivery.

  • We will send the correct product originally purchased as a priority.

CHANGE OF MIND — FINAL SALE POLICY

To ensure maximum hygiene, cleanliness, and safety for all items, Snuggle Star operates under a strict policy where normal sales are considered final.

We do not accept exchanges or refunds due to change of mind, regret, aesthetic dissatisfaction, or incorrect variant/size selection made by the customer at checkout.

We recommend that you carefully check all product specifications, images, and dimensions on our website before completing your payment.

NON-ELIGIBLE PRODUCTS AND PARTIAL REFUNDS

  • Non-Eligible Products: We do not accept, under any circumstances, exchange or return requests for items purchased under an express Final Sale condition or included in special promotional campaigns and flash offers.
