YuDoo Returns & Refund Policy

Returns Policy

• Most items purchased from shops listed on the YuDoo Platform may be returnable within the return window under certain rules, except the ones explicitly identified as “Non-returnable”
• YuDoo considers refund as the default mode of grievance redressal over a replacement. A replacement is offered only if the customer is willing to get a replacement as well as the seller is agreeing to provide a replacement. In that case, a replacement will be shipped once the seller/shop accepts the returned product(s). If replacement is not agreed upon by either party, a refund may be provided, subject to the fulfilment of the terms and conditions.
• For the refund process, timeline, terms and conditions, kindly refer to the Refund Policy section, which follows the current section.

General Guidelines

• As a general guideline, to return a product/products, kindly contact our customer care team over a call or through WhatsApp messaging or by writing us an email. Our working hours are from 9 AM to 7 PM, Monday to Saturday, except during public holidays. Our working hours may change time to time.
• The usual return window (the time period only during which a return request from a customer for an order will be entertained) is 72 hours following the delivery of an order. Extension can be allowed at the sole discretion of administration in cases such as an order received by a neighbor or the security guard, in the absence of the customer.
• Kindly check for the quality, size, properties, suitability, accuracy, reliability, completeness, timeliness, performance, and/or safety, etc., of the ordered product(s), whichever applicable, within the return window of a particular order.

  2. the returned product(s) are not different from what was shipped to you;
  3. the product(s) are not returned in the original condition (with brand’s/manufacturer’s box, MRP/price tag intact, user manual, warranty card and accessories, etc., if any)
• In case the seller/shop refuses to accept the returned product(s), the matter will be taken up by our administrative team. They will scrutinize the whole matter again in detail and share their decision of either sending back the product(s) to the customer or approving and issuing the refund. The decision of the administrative team will be final and binding.
• Once the seller/shop accepts the returned product(s), the refund will be issued as per the policy.
