Returns & Refunds

At Aploomb, we stand behind every product we sell — for customers in the United States and France alike.

We have a 30-day return policy: you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return. Once your return is approved, you have 14 days from the approval date to ship the item back to us.

Eligibility for Returns

To be eligible for a return, your item must meet all of the following conditions:

  • Unused and in the same condition as received
  • All original tags still attached
  • In its original packaging with all accessories and documentation included
  • Accompanied by your receipt or proof of purchase

Given the personal, close-contact nature of our products, we apply strict hygiene standards to all returns. Items that show signs of use or washing cannot be accepted for return for hygiene and safety reasons.

Accepted Reasons for Return

We accept returns for the following reasons:

  • The item arrived damaged or broken
  • The item arrived defective and is not functioning as intended
  • You received the wrong item
  • You are not satisfied with your purchase (change of mind — item must be unused and unopened)

Returning a Damaged or Defective Item

If your item arrived damaged, broken, not functioning as expected, or isn't what you ordered, please contact us as soon as possible — ideally within 7 days of delivery — and we take full responsibility and will resolve it at no cost to you.

Please follow these steps:

  • Take clear photos or a short video of the damage or defect as soon as you notice it. Your evidence must clearly show the specific issue — for example, a broken component, a defective part, or a function not working as expected.
  • Email us at contact@aploomb.com with your order number, a description of the issue, and your photos or video attached.
  • We will review your claim within 1–2 business days and respond with next steps.

If your claim is approved:

  • We will provide a prepaid return label — you will not pay anything to send the item back
  • Please ship the item back within 14 days of receiving your label
  • Once we receive and inspect the returned item, we will process either a full refund or a replacement based on your preference
  • We will issue your refund to your original payment method within 7 business days of receiving the item. That's when we send it — full posting to your account can take longer depending on your bank or card issuer, typically an additional 5–10 business days

Returning an Item — Change of Mind

If you change your mind about a purchase, you may request a return within 30 days of receiving your order, provided the item is completely unused and in its original sealed packaging.

Please note:

  • Due to the personal nature of our products, we cannot accept change of mind returns on items that have been opened or used
  • Return postage for change of mind returns is the customer's responsibility
  • Once your return is approved, contact us at contact@aploomb.com and we'll send you the return address closest to you, so everything gets handled quickly and smoothly.
  • We recommend using a tracked shipping service and keeping your proof of postage until your refund is confirmed
  • Once we receive and inspect the item, we will notify you of approval within 1–2 business days
  • If approved, we will issue your refund within 7 business days. That's when we send it — full posting to your account can take longer depending on your bank or card issuer, typically an additional 5–10 business days

Non-Returnable Items

The following items cannot be returned:

  • Any item that has been used or washed — for hygiene and safety reasons
  • Items without original packaging or missing accessories
  • Items purchased on sale or marked as final sale
  • Gift cards
  • Any item explicitly marked as non-returnable on the product page

Damages and Issues

Please inspect your order as soon as it arrives. If your item is defective, damaged, or incorrect, contact us immediately at contact@aploomb.com so we can evaluate the issue and make it right. We cover all return shipping costs for damaged, defective, or incorrect items.

Item Never Arrived

If your order hasn't arrived within the delivery window shown on our Shipping Policy, contact us at contact@aploomb.com and we will investigate with the carrier. If your package is confirmed lost in transit, we will offer a full refund or a replacement, at no cost to you.

Exchanges

The fastest way to get what you want is to return the item and once the return is accepted, place a new order. Alternatively, contact us and we will help arrange an exchange directly.

Order Cancellation

You may cancel your order at no cost any time before it has been processed or shipped — contact us at contact@aploomb.com as soon as possible. Once an order has been processed or dispatched, it can no longer be canceled; you're welcome to return it after delivery following the process above.

Refunds

We do not charge a restocking fee. We will notify you once we have received and inspected your return and let you know whether the refund has been approved. If approved, we will issue your refund to your original payment method within 7 business days. That's when we send it — full posting to your account can take longer depending on your bank or card issuer, typically an additional 5–10 business days.

Refunds are always issued to the original payment method used at checkout. If that method is no longer available to you, we'll contact you to arrange an alternative way to send your refund.

As we offer free shipping on every order, there are no original shipping fees included in your refund — your refund covers the price of the returned item(s).

If more than 15 business days have passed since your return was approved and you have not received your refund, please contact us at contact@aploomb.com.

Your Legal Rights

This policy is offered in addition to, and does not affect, your statutory rights under applicable consumer protection law — including French and EU consumer protection law (Code de la consommation) for customers in France, and applicable state and federal consumer law for customers in the United States. Our 30-day return window already exceeds the minimum 14-day right of withdrawal guaranteed under EU consumer law.
