Returns And Exchange

 

Caribbean World Shop Return And Exchange Policy

 

Delivery for a refund, as long as the item is in its original condition and packaging. Items that have been used or modified in any way may not be returned. Please see the next section if the item arrived damaged or defective; different terms may apply.

 

To return an item, visit the My Order page, select the Return or Replace Item button for the appropriate order and follow the instructions. You will be responsible for the return shipping costs, except in instances where the item arrived damaged or defective. Note that the option to initiate a return will only appear for 7 days after delivery.

 

If you send the item(s) back without a label from Caribbean World Shop or the seller, we recommend insuring your return shipment and using a trackable shipping method. Refunds will not be issued for items damaged in return transit or for returns that are never received.

 

The following items may not be returned:

  1. Items marked as final sale or "non-returnable" on the product page or during the checkout process

  2. Gift cards; or

  3. Any items sold directly by Caribbean World Shop

 

Damaged and Defective Items

In the unlikely event that an item you ordered arrives damaged or is defective, you may return the item (and any other items from that order if they are part of a set) for a replacement or a refund, as long as you report the issue within the following timeframes:

 

  • For Items Shipped by Parcel Carriers (such as FedEx, UPS, or USPS)

  • Damaged and Defective Items: 7 days after delivery

  • For Items Shipped by Freight Carriers (including White Glove Service)7 days after delivery

  • Damaged Items: 7 day after delivery. It’s critical to report the issue within that period so that a claim can be filed with the carrier

  • Defective Items: 7 days after delivery

 

You can find the type of delivery (parcel or freight) for your item listed on your shipment confirmation email.

 

We encourage you to inspect the packaging of the item before you accept the item from the carrier. If the packaging or the item appears damaged when it arrives, you should take pictures of the damage and you may inform the carrier and refuse delivery. In that case, please report the issue within the applicable timeframe listed above and you can choose to receive a replacement or a refund.

 

To report an issue with an item, please visit the My Order page, select the "Return or Replace Item" button for the order and follow the instructions. You may be required to submit photographs of the damaged or defective product and its packaging (the original packaging is required to facilitate a return unless it was damaged in transit and is unusable). 

 

Important Note About Freight Forwarders: If you decide to use your freight forwarder to ship an item or if you export an item outside the United States or the Dominican Republic yourself or through another carrier, then Caribbean World Shop will not be responsible for providing any replacement or refund for any damaged or defective items. Do not list Caribbean World Shop on any export documentation.

 

Refund Payment

A refund is when we have charged a payer, and need to cancel the payment and return the funds to the payer. The funds will be returned to whatever payment method (credit card, bank account) that the payer initially used to make the payment.

 

Returns may be made within 7 days from the date of delivery by returning your item by the carrier to the address on the return shipping to our facility in the Dominican Republic.

 

To request a refund, simply send us an e-mail at refund@cws.com within seven (07) days of receiving your product. When we receive such a request from you, we will provide you with instructions on how to return the product to us. We reserve the right to inspect the product prior to approving your refund request. Please note that processing your refund request could take several days, so we ask that you please be patient. If we are unable to refund the original method of payment, Caribbean World Shop will provide you with a store credit for the amount of the refund due to you, which may only be used for purchases on www.caribbeanworldshop.com.

 

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within a certain amount of days. Please note that a 10% processing charge might be applied due to stocking and handling of the returned product. For items that were not damaged or defective, you will be responsible for the return shipping costs (whether the item was shipped by parcel or freight).
