Returns & Exchanges
At ALKIM Studio LLC (“ALKIM,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), we’re committed to making your
shopping experience seamless and enjoyable. Please review the information below to better
understand our policies on returns and exchanges.
We want you to love your purchase from ALKIM! If something isn’t quite right, we’re
happy to help you with a return or exchange as long as the item meets our return
conditions.
Eligibility for Returns or Exchanges
We gladly accept returns or exchanges for items that are:
• In original, unworn, and unwashed condition;
• With all original tags attached;
• With hygiene stickers intact (if applicable); and
• Not marked as Final Sale.
Items that are worn (including but not limited to deodorant marks, makeup, perfume scent,
pet hair, or stains), washed, damaged, missing tags, or outside the return window do not
qualify and will not be processed. We reserve the right to adjust or deny returns if items
are deemed not to be received in new condition.
Return & Exchange Timeframes
Returns or Exchanges must be initiated within 15 days of delivery. Returns or Exchanges
initiated outside the return window will not be processed or refunded. Exchanges are
limited to size changes only. To change colors or styles, please return the original and place
a new order within the return window. We are not responsible for the storage, return, or
retrieval of items sent to us outside of these guidelines.
Return & Exchange Options
You have three options when initiating a return or exchange:
1. Exchange for a different size is free of charge. Your exchange item will ship once
your original return is received and processed. Exchanges are limited to size
changes only.
2. Returning for store credit is also free. You’ll receive a digital gift card for the full
purchase amount once the return is processed.
3. Returning for a refund to your original payment method is subject to a $5.00
restocking fee, which will be deducted from your refund total.
Return shipping is free only if the item is defective. Otherwise, customers are responsible
for return shipping.
How to Start a Return or Exchange
1. Email us at hello@alkimstudio.com with:
• Your full name.
• Order number
• Reason for return or exchange
2. We’ll reply with return instructions.
3. Package your items carefully in the original clear polybag if available to help ensure
the product’s life and quality while in transit.
4. Drop off the return package at the carrier location.
Processing & Refunds
Please allow up to 5 business days after delivery to our facility for your return or exchange
to be processed. You’ll receive an email confirmation once processing is complete. Refunds
will be issued to the original payment method (if selected), minus any applicable fees.
Exchange orders will ship to the original address once your return is processed. If the
requested exchange size is unavailable, we’ll automatically issue a refund instead to the
original payment method.
Chargebacks
If you experience an issue with your order, we ask that you contact us directly at
hello@alkimstudio.com before initiating a chargeback with your bank or credit card
provider. We are committed to resolving order concerns quickly and fairly. Please note
that initiating a chargeback without first attempting to resolve the matter with us may
delay the process and affect your eligibility for future purchases. ALKIM reserves the right
to dispute any chargebacks that are inconsistent with our posted return policy or that we
believe are submitted fraudulently or in bad faith.
Out-of-Stock Exchange Items
If an item you request in exchange is out of stock, we’ll automatically issue a refund (minus
applicable fees). We currently do not offer exchanges for new styles or colors — please
return the original item and place a new order if needed.
Final Sale Items
Items marked FINAL SALE are not eligible for return, exchange, or refund.
Returns Received Outside Policy
Returns received after the 15-day return window or that do not meet the return conditions
will not be processed or refunded. These items cannot be tracked, located, or returned to
you. To avoid issues, please start your return within 15 days and follow all instructions
provided.
