Refund policy
Last Updated: July 18, 2026
At PlushCharm.store, we believe every purchase should feel as delightful, comforting, and meaningful as the charming products we offer. Our collection includes plush keychains, bag charms, keepsake lockets, pet memorial accessories, decorative pendants, and other gift-worthy items designed to bring warmth and personality to everyday life. We carefully select and prepare each order, but we understand that a product may occasionally arrive damaged, differ from expectations, or simply not be the right fit.
This Return & Refund Policy explains the conditions, procedures, and timeframes that apply when requesting a return, refund, replacement, exchange, or order cancellation. By placing an order through PlushCharm.store, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and agreed to this policy.
This policy is intended to work alongside applicable consumer protection laws. Nothing in it limits any mandatory rights that cannot legally be excluded. Shopify allows merchants to define return eligibility, return periods, fees, and final-sale conditions, while Ontario guidance notes that a clearly communicated voluntary return policy may govern ordinary change-of-mind returns unless statutory consumer rights apply.
1. Our 30-Day Return Promise
We accept eligible return requests submitted within 30 calendar days from the date the order is marked as delivered by the shipping carrier.
To qualify for a return, the item must generally be:
- Unused, unworn, and unwashed
- Free from stains, odors, pet hair, scratches, or signs of handling beyond reasonable inspection
- In its original condition
- Returned with its original packaging, tags, protective materials, inserts, and accessories
- Accompanied by valid proof of purchase from PlushCharm.store
Opening a package solely to inspect the item does not automatically make it ineligible for return. However, products that have been used, altered, damaged after delivery, or handled in a way that reduces their resale value may be refused or may qualify only for a partial refund where permitted by law.
The 30-day period begins on the delivery date shown by the carrier’s tracking information. When an order is delivered in separate parcels, the return window for each product begins on the date that particular parcel is delivered.
2. Return Authorization Is Required
All returns must be approved before they are shipped.
To begin a return, contact our customer care team at:
Email: support@PlushCharm.store
Phone: (416) 631-7700
Business Address: 810 Queen St E, Toronto, ON M4M 1H6, Canada
Please include:
- Your full name
- Your order number
- The email address used at checkout
- The product you wish to return
- The reason for the request
- Clear photographs or a short video when the item is damaged, defective, incorrect, or incomplete
After reviewing your request, we will provide return instructions and, where applicable, a return authorization reference. Please do not mail products to our business address or any address appearing on the parcel without receiving written instructions from us first.
Our business address is provided for company correspondence and does not necessarily function as the processing location for every return. Depending on the product, supplier, warehouse, and destination, an approved return may need to be sent to a different facility.
Unauthorized returns may be delayed, refused, or returned to the sender.
3. Free Returns
PlushCharm.store offers free returns for eligible products within the 30-day return period.
When your request is approved, we may provide:
- A prepaid return shipping label
- A downloadable label
- A QR code for an approved carrier
- Alternative return instructions
- A refund or replacement without requiring the physical item to be returned
The return method is selected at our discretion based on the customer’s location, product type, item value, shipping availability, and the nature of the request.
Free return shipping applies only when the customer follows the authorized return procedure. Costs incurred through an unapproved shipping method, express courier, cash-on-delivery service, or self-arranged shipment may not be reimbursed.
Where prepaid return labels are unavailable in a customer’s country, our support team will provide a reasonable alternative solution. Customers should never pay for return shipping before receiving written confirmation if they expect reimbursement.
4. Change-of-Mind Returns
Eligible products may be returned because of personal preference, including when:
- The customer no longer wants the item
- The style or colour is not preferred
- The item does not match the customer’s intended use
- The customer ordered the wrong variation
- The product was purchased by mistake
Change-of-mind returns must still satisfy all eligibility requirements. Products must remain unused and in original condition.
Differences in colour caused by screen settings, lighting, photography, or display calibration are not normally considered defects. Likewise, minor handmade-style variations, natural texture differences, small measurement tolerances, or slight differences between production batches may not qualify as manufacturing faults.
We will nevertheless review reasonable return requests within the applicable return period.
5. Damaged, Defective, Incorrect, or Incomplete Orders
Please inspect your order as soon as it arrives.
Contact us promptly if:
- The product arrives damaged
- The item has a manufacturing defect
- You receive the wrong product, colour, size, or variation
- A component or accessory is missing
- The parcel arrives with visible signs of serious transit damage
For the fastest resolution, submit your claim within seven days of delivery, although applicable legal rights and the overall 30-day policy may still apply.
Please provide photographs showing:
- The full product
- The damaged or defective area
- The shipping package
- The shipping label
- Any missing, incorrect, or broken components
After assessment, we may offer:
- A full refund
- A partial refund
- A replacement
- Reshipment of missing parts
- Store credit, with your agreement
- Another appropriate remedy
Do not discard the product, packaging, or mailing label until the claim has been resolved. We may need these materials to verify the issue or submit a carrier claim.
Customers will not be charged return shipping for confirmed damaged, defective, incorrect, or incomplete orders.
6. Products That Cannot Normally Be Returned
For hygiene, safety, personalization, and product-integrity reasons, certain items may be excluded from ordinary change-of-mind returns, including:
- Personalized, engraved, or custom-made products
- Items modified according to customer instructions
- Products containing customer-supplied photographs, fur, hair, fabric, ashes, flowers, or other personal materials
- Memorial keepsakes that have already been filled or assembled
- Items with removed hygiene seals
- Gift cards
- Digital products
- Products clearly marked “Final Sale” before purchase
- Items damaged through misuse, neglect, improper storage, or unauthorized modification
- Products returned without essential parts or accessories
A personalized or memorial product may still qualify for a remedy if it arrives damaged, defective, materially different from the approved customization, or incorrect because of an error by PlushCharm.store.
Final-sale exclusions do not remove mandatory consumer rights for faulty, misrepresented, or incorrectly supplied goods.
7. Memorial and Keepsake Products
Some PlushCharm.store products are designed to hold deeply personal materials, such as pet fur, hair, photographs, dried flowers, fabric fragments, or other small keepsakes.
Please inspect the product carefully before placing any irreplaceable material inside it. Once a keepsake has been filled, sealed, glued, engraved, altered, or permanently assembled, it may no longer be eligible for a change-of-mind return.
PlushCharm.store is not responsible for the loss, deterioration, discoloration, or damage of personal materials inserted into a product by the customer, except where directly caused by a confirmed product defect or as otherwise required by law.
Customers should avoid placing valuable, hazardous, biological, prohibited, or legally restricted materials inside any keepsake product.
8. Natural Fur and Material Variations
Certain products may use natural materials or fur-like textiles. Natural products may vary slightly in texture, colour distribution, softness, density, shape, or appearance. These variations are often inherent characteristics rather than defects.
Product materials will be described on the relevant product page based on information reasonably available to us. Customers with ethical, allergy, religious, material-preference, or animal-welfare concerns should review the product description carefully and contact us before ordering if clarification is required.
An item may qualify for return when the materials received materially differ from the product description.
9. Exchanges
We may offer exchanges for eligible products, depending on stock availability and the customer’s location.
The most reliable way to obtain a different product or variation is generally to:
- Request a return for the original item
- Wait for approval
- Place a new order for the preferred item
This approach helps prevent the replacement product from selling out while the return is in transit.
When we approve a direct exchange, the replacement will usually be dispatched after the original item has been received and inspected. If the requested replacement is unavailable, we may issue a refund or offer another solution with the customer’s approval.
Price differences may apply when exchanging for a product of a different value.
10. Return Packaging and Transit Responsibility
Approved returns should be packed securely to prevent damage during transit.
Whenever possible, use:
- The original protective packaging
- A sturdy outer shipping box or mailer
- Appropriate padding
- The return label supplied by us
- A trackable shipping method
Remove or cover unrelated shipping labels before sending the parcel.
PlushCharm.store is not responsible for damage caused by inadequate return packaging. When we provide a prepaid label, responsibility for the parcel generally transfers once the package is accepted and scanned by the approved carrier, subject to the carrier’s terms and applicable law.
Customers should retain their shipping receipt and tracking information until the return is completed.
11. Return Inspection
After the returned parcel reaches the authorized facility, it will be inspected to confirm:
- The correct product was returned
- The item satisfies the eligibility requirements
- All expected components are included
- The product has not been used, damaged, substituted, or altered
- The return corresponds with the approved request
Inspection may take approximately three to seven business days after delivery to the return facility.
We will notify you whether the return has been accepted. Shopify’s merchant tools permit refunds to be processed after returned merchandise has been received and reviewed.
When a returned product does not meet the policy requirements, we may:
- Refuse the refund
- Issue a partial refund reflecting diminished value
- Request additional information
- Return the product to the customer, where practical
We will explain the reason for any reduction or refusal.
12. Refund Method and Processing Time
Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method used for the order unless another method is required by law or expressly agreed upon.
Refunds may include:
- The eligible product price
- Applicable taxes
- Standard shipping charges where required by law
- Other approved amounts
Although PlushCharm.store offers free worldwide shipping on qualifying orders, any optional fees paid for premium, express, expedited, insured, or special delivery services may be non-refundable when the service was successfully provided.
After we issue a refund, banks, credit card providers, digital wallets, and payment processors may require additional time to post the funds. Processing times commonly vary by provider, country, and payment method.
If more than ten business days have passed since we confirmed that the refund was issued, first check with your financial institution. You may then contact us at support@PlushCharm.store so we can review the transaction.
We cannot generally redirect a refund to a different card, account, or person.
13. Partial Refunds
A partial refund may be considered when:
- The item has signs of use
- Original packaging or accessories are missing
- The product has been damaged after delivery
- The returned item has diminished value
- Only part of a bundled order is returned
- A promotional discount depended on keeping multiple products
- The customer returns a different quantity than originally purchased
Any deduction will be reasonable and connected to the actual reduction in value or promotional adjustment. We will provide an explanation before or when processing the refund.
14. Bundles, Gifts, and Promotional Purchases
Products purchased in a bundle may need to be returned together to qualify for a full refund.
When only part of a bundle is returned, the refund may be recalculated using the regular individual prices of the products retained. Free gifts included because an order met a promotional threshold may also need to be returned.
When a purchase was made using a discount code, the refund will not exceed the amount actually paid for the returned product.
Discount codes, rewards, promotional credits, and free gifts generally have no cash value.
15. Gift Returns
When an item was purchased as a gift, the refund will ordinarily be issued to the original purchaser’s payment method.
A gift recipient may contact us to discuss available alternatives, such as an exchange or store credit. We may request the order number, purchaser information, delivery details, or other evidence needed to locate and verify the transaction.
We will protect customer information and will not disclose unnecessary payment or account details to a gift recipient.
16. Lost, Stolen, or Missing Parcels
A parcel shown as undelivered, lost in transit, or returned to sender will be investigated separately from a standard product return.
If tracking shows “delivered” but the parcel cannot be located, please:
- Check the delivery area
- Ask household members
- Contact building reception or management
- Check with neighbours
- Contact the carrier
- Notify us promptly
We will review the tracking information and assist with a reasonable investigation. Depending on the findings, we may offer a replacement, refund, carrier claim, or another solution.
PlushCharm.store is not automatically responsible for theft after confirmed delivery, incorrect addresses supplied by the customer, refused deliveries, unclaimed parcels, or losses caused by unauthorized forwarding services. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
17. Order Cancellations and Address Changes
Contact us as soon as possible if you need to cancel an order or correct a shipping address.
Orders are processed quickly, so cancellation or modification is not guaranteed. Once an order has entered fulfillment, been personalized, or been handed to the carrier, it may no longer be possible to stop shipment.
When a cancellation is approved before fulfillment, the refund will be issued to the original payment method.
Customers are responsible for entering complete and accurate contact and delivery information. If a parcel is returned because of an incorrect or incomplete address, we will contact the customer to discuss reshipment or refund options. Additional shipping costs may apply when the error was not caused by PlushCharm.store.
18. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
Please contact us before opening a chargeback or payment dispute. Our customer care team will make a good-faith effort to resolve eligible delivery, product, return, and refund concerns.
Submitting a chargeback does not automatically create a right to keep both the goods and the refunded payment. We may provide the payment provider with relevant order records, communications, tracking details, delivery confirmation, and policy information.
This section does not prevent customers from exercising legitimate rights through their payment provider or applicable law.
19. Suspected Return Abuse or Fraud
We reserve the right to review, limit, or reject requests involving suspected fraud or abuse, including:
- Returning a different item
- Using altered photographs
- Repeatedly claiming non-delivery despite confirmed receipt
- Excessive or unusual return activity
- Removing components before returning a product
- Using a product and then presenting it as unused
- Filing both a refund request and a chargeback for the same transaction
- Threatening or abusive conduct toward staff
Any decision will be made reasonably and will not override mandatory legal rights.
20. Consumer Rights
This policy provides contractual return options in addition to rights that may apply under consumer protection legislation.
Nothing in this policy excludes, restricts, or replaces a legal guarantee, remedy, cancellation right, or refund entitlement that cannot lawfully be waived. When this policy conflicts with mandatory law, the mandatory law will prevail.
Customers outside Canada may have additional rights under the laws of their place of residence.
21. Policy Updates
We may revise this Return & Refund Policy to reflect changes in our products, operations, carrier arrangements, Shopify features, payment systems, or legal obligations.
The version published on PlushCharm.store at the time of purchase will generally apply to that order, except where a later change is required by law or offers more favourable terms to the customer.
The “Last Updated” date at the top identifies the most recent revision.
