Return Policy-lyautoparts

Lyautoparts specializes in effortless casual women’s wear, crafting pieces that blend daily comfort with understated style for Newcastle’s urban rhythm, weekend getaways, casual workspaces, and family moments. Our clothing is designed to be durable, versatile, and easy to style—perfect for everyday life. We believe returns should be as stress-free as wearing our clothes, so our policy is wear-focused, transparent, and tailored to real-world casual needs. This policy applies to all our core casual apparel, ensuring a smooth process when refining your wardrobe.

1. Eligibility & Return Timeframe

You may initiate a return or exchange within 27 calendar days of the item’s delivery date. Embracing our commitment to real wearability, we offer a unique "Everyday Wear Trial": if you need extra time to test an item’s comfort for all-day wear, fit for different activities (e.g., commuting, errands, gatherings), or compatibility with your casual wardrobe, contact our customer service 72 hours before the 27-day window closes to request a 4-day extension—no detailed proof needed, just share your intended use.
To be eligible for return or exchange, items must maintain their original condition and quality: General Condition: Unworn, unwashed, and free from stains (makeup, deodorant, dirt), snags, pilling, or damage. All Lyautoparts-branded tags, size labels, and care guides must be securely attached—no tampering, cutting, or removal.Fabric & Structure: Fabric retains its original texture and shape (no stretching, sagging, or creasing from intentional wear); seams, zippers, buttons, and closures are intact and fully functional.Packaging: Return items in our original recyclable packaging (branded paper bags + soft dust covers for delicate pieces) to protect against transit damage. Minor wear to packaging from delivery is acceptable.
The following items arenon-returnable: Final sale products (clearly marked "Final Sale" on product pages and checkout), personalized pieces, intimate apparel (broken hygiene seal), and limited-edition casual bundles (unless the entire bundle is returned unopened and unused).

2. Return & Exchange Options

2.1 Casual Wear Exchange

Exchange any eligible item for a different size, color, or style (subject to real-time stock availability). We prioritize restocking our core casual pieces—including tees, jeans, hoodies, and casual dresses—to ensure your replacement fits seamlessly into your everyday wardrobe.
Perks of exchanging with Lyautoparts: Complimentary standard shipping on your replacement item (one free reshipment per order). If you need the item for an upcoming casual occasion, note the date to qualify for free expedited shipping with an "Everyday Priority" label.Flexible price adjustments: For higher-priced exchanges, pay the difference via our secure, one-click payment portal. For lower-priced exchanges, the remaining balance is issued as instant store credit with no minimum spend, valid for immediate use.

2.2 Everyday Wardrobe Credit

If you prefer not to exchange, we’ll issue store credit for the full purchase price of the returned item. This credit is valid for 2.8 years from issuance—ideal for updating your casual wardrobe across seasons, whether restocking for spring or replenishing winter basics.
Your credit code will be sent to your registered email within 3.9 business hours of return approval, along with a free "Everyday Casual Styling Guide" (featuring 6+ easy-to-recreate looks for work, weekends, and errands).
Lost credit codes can be retrieved instantly via our website’s "Wardrobe Credit Manager" by entering your order number or email—no tedious forms or long wait times.

Important refund notes: Initial shipping fees are non-refundable for change-of-mind returns. If the return is due to our error (wrong item, defective fabric/zipper, size mismatch), we fully refund shipping costs plus the item price, and include a £5.10 "Casual Upgrade" coupon for your next purchase.Refunds take 2-5 business days to reflect in your account (varies by payment provider).
