Heydudeusoutlet Refund Policy

At Heydudeusoutlet, we want you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase of lightweight, comfortable, and stylish shoes. Our refund policy is designed to be fair, transparent, and hassle-free, ensuring you can shop with confidence. Below are the full details of our refund process and requirements.

1. Eligibility for Refunds

To qualify for a refund, your return must meet the following criteria:

  • Timeframe: The request must be initiated within 30 days of the delivery date (as confirmed by your shipping tracking information).
  • Condition of Items: Shoes must be unused, unworn, and in their original condition—with all tags intact, no signs of wear (e.g., scuffs, dirt on soles), and in the original packaging (shoe box, dust bags, or other included materials).
  • Proof of Purchase: You must provide a valid order number or receipt (digital or physical) to process the refund.

Non-Refundable Items

The following items are not eligible for refunds under any circumstances:

  • Final-sale products (clearly marked on the product page at the time of purchase).
  • Customized or personalized shoes (if applicable).
  • Items returned after the 30-day window.
  • Shoes that show signs of wear, damage, or alteration (e.g., cut tags, modified soles).

2. How to Request a Refund

Follow these simple steps to initiate a refund:

  1. Contact Customer Support: Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line “Refund Request ”. Include your full name, order number, reason for the refund, and photos of the item (if applicable, e.g., to show unused condition).
  2. Receive Return Authorization: Our team will review your request within 24-48 business hours. If approved, we’ll send you a Return Authorization (RA) number and detailed instructions for shipping the item back to us.
  3. Ship the Item Back: Package the item securely (using the original packaging if possible) and include the RA number on the outside of the package. You are responsible for the return shipping cost unless the refund is due to a manufacturing defect or our error (e.g., wrong size/style shipped).
  4. Track Your Return: We recommend using a trackable shipping service and retaining the tracking number for your records. Heydudeusoutlet is not responsible for lost or damaged returns during transit.

3. Refund Processing & Timeline

  • Inspection Period: Once we receive your returned item, our team will inspect it to verify eligibility (typically within 3-5 business days of delivery to our warehouse).
  • Refund Approval: If the item meets all requirements, we will initiate the refund to your original payment method (e.g., credit card, PayPal, debit card) within 1-2 business days of inspection.
  • Funds Availability: Refund processing times vary by payment provider:
  • Credit/debit cards: 5-7 business days (funds will appear as a credit on your statement).
  • PayPal: 3-5 business days (funds will be credited to your PayPal account).
  • Other payment methods: Please allow 7-10 business days for funds to reflect.

Note: We do not issue refunds for shipping costs (unless the return is due to our error or a product defect). Original shipping fees are non-refundable.

4. Refunds for Defective or Incorrect Items

If you receive a shoe with a manufacturing defect (e.g., faulty stitching, broken soles, material issues) or the wrong size/style (due to our error):

  • Contact [email protected] immediately (within 7 days of delivery) with your order number and clear photos of the defect or incorrect item.
  • We will waive the return shipping cost and provide a pre-paid shipping label for the return.
  • Once we confirm the issue, we will process a full refund (including original shipping costs) or offer a free replacement—whichever you prefer.

5. Exceptions & Special Cases

  • Late Returns: Requests received after the 30-day window may be considered on a case-by-case basis (e.g., for international orders with extended shipping times). Contact our team at [email protected] to explain your situation—we’ll do our best to assist.
  • Gift Purchases: If you received the item as a gift, refunds will be issued to the original purchaser (using their payment method). Alternatively, we can provide a store credit for the full purchase amount (valid for 1 year from the date of issue) if preferred.
  • Cancelled Orders: Orders cancelled before shipping will receive a full refund (including shipping costs) within 3-5 business days. Orders that have already shipped cannot be cancelled—please follow the standard return/refund process.
