RETURN & REFUND POLICY
Made-to-order products. Clear policies. No surprises.
At Bong Tribe, every product is printed especially for you after you place your order. Because our products are made on demand, we don't maintain traditional ready-to-ship inventory.
That also means we don't accept routine returns simply because you changed your mind, ordered the wrong size, or no longer want the product.
However, if something goes wrong with your order, we're here to make it right.
DAMAGED, DEFECTIVE OR MISPRINTED PRODUCTS
If your product arrives with a manufacturing defect, a printing defect or significant misprint, damage caused before or during delivery, the wrong product, the wrong size or variant sent by Bong Tribe, or a significant issue that makes the product materially different from what you ordered, please contact us within 7 days of delivery.
- Order number
- Clear photographs of the product
- Clear photographs of the packaging/shipping cover
- A short unboxing video, preferably showing the package being opened
- A brief description of the issue
The unboxing video is particularly important for damaged, missing or incorrect items because it helps us establish what happened during delivery.
REPLACEMENTS
If the issue is verified as a manufacturing, printing, fulfilment or transit-related problem, Bong Tribe will arrange a replacement at no additional product cost to you. You will not be required to place a new order for a verified defective or incorrect product.
Replacement requests must be submitted within 7 days of delivery.
WRONG SIZE ORDERED
Please check our Size Guide carefully before placing your order. Because Bong Tribe products are printed on demand, we generally cannot accept returns or provide refunds when the customer selects the wrong size.
If you ordered the wrong size and would like a different size, contact us within 7 days of delivery. Where possible, we may offer a replacement/new order at the customer's expense.
CHANGE OF MIND
We currently do not accept returns or refunds simply because you changed your mind, don't like the product after receiving it, or no longer want the item.
Because every Bong Tribe product is produced specifically after an order is placed, we cannot restock most returned products for resale. Please make sure you're happy with your selection before completing your order.
COLOUR DIFFERENCES
Product colours may appear slightly different depending on your screen, display brightness, device settings, and photography and lighting. Small variations between the product image shown on screen and the physical product do not automatically qualify as a defect.
DAMAGED SHIPPING PACKAGE
If your package arrives visibly damaged, please take photographs before opening it. If possible, record the opening/unboxing process.
If damage is visible on the courier package, please mention the damage while accepting the shipment where the courier process allows it. This documentation helps us investigate the issue with our fulfilment and courier partners.
LOST OR UNDELIVERED ORDERS
If an order is lost during transit and the shipment is officially confirmed as lost, Bong Tribe will work with its fulfilment and shipping partners to resolve the issue. Depending on the circumstances, the order may be re-shipped or refunded.
RETURNED / RTO ORDERS
An order may be returned to the fulfilment facility if delivery fails because of circumstances such as incorrect or incomplete address, customer unavailable or unreachable, customer refusing delivery, unserviceable pincode, premises being closed, or repeated failed delivery attempts.
If an order is returned because of an incorrect address, refusal of delivery, repeated failed delivery attempts or other circumstances attributable to the customer, additional shipping/re-shipping charges may apply.
REFUNDS
Refunds may be considered where we are unable to provide a replacement for a verified defective or incorrect product, or a shipment is officially confirmed as lost and a refund is appropriate.
Approved refunds will be processed to the original payment method, subject to applicable payment gateway and banking processing timelines. Shipping charges, COD charges or other applicable fees may not be refundable unless the issue was caused by Bong Tribe.
HOW TO REQUEST A REPLACEMENT OR REFUND
WHEN A REQUEST MAY BE REJECTED
Bong Tribe reserves the right to reject requests where:
- The request is made more than 7 days after delivery
- The product shows signs of intentional damage or misuse
- The product has been washed, altered or modified
- The issue is caused by normal wear and tear
- The requested return/replacement does not fall within this policy
- Required evidence is not provided where it is reasonably necessary to verify the issue
